Former security guard and sole suspect in the Brock Husted murder case in Ventura County was tried in a closed courtroom due to the chief witness suffering from extreme agoraphobia. The jury convicted him of one felony and two misdemeanors. The felony conviction will have an effect on his sentencing after his trial on three murder counts for the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Husted and the viable fetus.
It is thought that the crime was a spur of the moment robbery after he drank beer down on the beach but was trapped by the incoming tide and was escaping via the private staircase through the gated community of expensive houses. Packer's DNA was found on a motorcycle helmet's faceplate left at the scene but there was no match in the database at the time.
It seems all his crimes have been impulsive behavior and were often accompanied by alcohol consumption. He didn't learn his lesson on the more minor offenses. Perhaps he has learned now but its too late for the Husteds.
