MySpace “psychokiller666″ convicted of stabbing two during horror movie show
FULLERTON, California - A man who posted about murder and serial killings under the name “psychokiller666″ on social networking site MySpace has been convicted of stabbing two people during a horror movie.
Steven Walter Robinson Jr., 26, who stabbed two people inside a Fullerton theatre playing ‘The Signal” was convicted by a jury on Tuesdsay of two counts of felony attempted murder with premeditation.
Robinson Jr. was indicted on July 31, 2008, by a grand jury. He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison at his sentencing on Dec. 11, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. in Department N-10, North Justice Center, Fullerton.
According to facts presented in evidence, at approximately 6:00 p.m. on Feb. 24, 2008, Robinson bought a ticket for the horror movie “The Signal” at the AMC Theatre at 1001 South Lemon in Fullerton.
He was wearing dark clothing and sunglasses inside the theater. A theater manager asked security to watch the defendant after noticing that Robinson appeared agitated and aggressive when asked to show his ticket.
The theater security guard observed the defendant carrying a container of alcohol and asked Robinson to put it in his car. The defendant left the theater.
Approximately 10 minutes later, Robinson re-entered the theater and approached the concession cashier to ask if anyone had seen or turned in a “baggie.”
He was informed that nothing had been found. The security guard then observed Robinson carrying an AMC cup, which he suspected might contain alcohol. Robinson refused to remove the lid of the cup to show its contents to the security guard.
After being informed that he would not be permitted to see the movie without complying with security, Robinson got a refund for his ticket and again left the theater.
Shortly after that, a box office cashier called the manager to report that a bag of hallucinogenic psilocybin mushrooms had been turned in to the box office. The manager contacted the Fullerton Police Department, who sent officers to the scene in response.
At approximately 7:20 p.m., Robinson sneaked back into the theater. While checking the theater where “The Signal” was playing, the security guard noticed Robinson as one of four people watching the movie.
He returned to the lobby to inform the manager and police, who had arrived in response to the call related to the bag of drugs.
While officers were in the lobby, Robinson got up from his seat and approached Julio Sanchez, 38, carrying a double sided knife-hammer weapon. Robinson attacked the victim by stabbing him five times in the head, arm, chest, and knee.
The defendant continued to stab and slash at Sanchez until the victim was able to run into the lobby and escape.
Robinson then approached Eloy Uresti, 65, and began to stab him in the arm as the victim attempted to protect his face.
The victim attempted to crawl away, but Robinson followed. Robinson hit the victim in the head with the hammer end of the weapon and continued to attack Uresti until hearing the police officers enter the theater.
The officers had been in the lobby when Sanchez ran from the theater covered in blood. Robinson fled the scene through an exit into the parking lot. The two victims did not know each other or the defendant.
Sanchez suffered a permanent loss of mobility in his arm. Uresti suffered nerve damage. Both victims explained that the attack affected their ability to work and participate in activities that they had previously enjoyed.
After the attempted murder, Robinson fled to his brother’s Las Vegas, NV, apartment to hide. He was arrested on March 7, 2008, on a $500,000 warrant and was brought back to Orange County.
Subsequent investigation revealed that he was in possession of several books on the topic of serial killers and the torture and murder of their victims.
The defendant’s home computer contained MySpace postings from him to friends about killing and mass murder. Robinson used the screen name “psychokiller666.”

I’ve been to this theater. What a scary story! I feel for those individuals. This is right down the street from Octo Mom’s house. Actually nice residential area, with great shops and restaurants. I didn’t know about this, since I technically live in LA County and this is supposed to be Orange County.
He must have been a terrorist trained at Al Queda terror camps! And smokes weed too! Weed make people want to murder other people – I seen it in a movie!
