The grief-stricken mother of slaughtered model Christy Giles called the accused Hollywood producer a ‘monster’ who deserves the death penalty.
David Pearce, 43, had partied with 24-year-old Giles and her friend Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola, 26, before the girls’ bodies were found dumped outside of two hospitals on November 13, 2021.
Giles’ mother, Dusty, told The US Sun that she hopes for ‘justice for all involved, not just for my Christy, for all of them.’
Pearce, who pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder, faces a slew of charges for rape and sexual assault involving seven women between 2007 and 2020.
‘Life, death penalty he needs. He’s a monster. He doesn’t need to have bail bonds or up for parole or anything,’ she added.
Pearce is being charged alongside his former roommate, 45-year-old actor Brandt Osborn, who is accused of – and also pleaded not guilty to – helping Pearce dump the girls’ bodies.
Dusty told the outlet that she believed Osborn knew more than he was letting on, yet his defense attorney claimed he was asleep as they partied back at the men’s apartment.
She added that being in court felt ‘surreal’ having waited months to begin trial.

‘My anxiety and everything I’m like a cat with a nervous, swinging tail under a rock,’ she said.
‘As a parent, you feel guilty,’ she said, before breaking down in tears.
‘But I know how some of those women have to feel that were attacked before and not taken seriously, and I’m glad they’re finally getting their day in court.’
Dusty found it ‘very hard’ to hear the women’s testimonies, as she claimed: ‘I know that’s what my daughter faced.’
She previously told DailyMail.com that she said the circumstances around her daughter’s death led her to believe she had been drugged and sexually assaulted.
Giles had been at a warehouse party with Cabrales-Arzola in Los Angeles on November 12, 2021, and suffered a fatal overdose at the same party, DailyMail.com previously reported.
Her body was found on the sidewalk outside of Southern California Hospital in Culver City.
She was found to have had four illegal substances in her bloodstream at the time of her death: cocaine, fentanyl, ketamine and GHB- commonly known as the ‘date rape’ drug, according to the autopsy.
Cabrales-Arzola was dumped outside of a different LA hospital the same evening as Giles and died after spending two weeks in a coma.

David Pearce – who has been charged with both women’s manslaughter – is seen with Cabrales-Arzola on the evening she and Giles died
Pearce is being charged alongside his former roommate, 45-year-old actor Brandt Osborn (pictured), who is accused of – and also pleaded not guilty to – helping Pearce dump the girls’ bodies
The coroner’s report found that she had drugs including cocaine and MDMA in her system and died of a drug overdose, as well as multiple organ failures, just days before her 27th birthday
The women were seen being dumped by masked men driving a Toyota Prius with no license plates.
Surveillance footage recorded the men dumping Cabrales’ unconscious body outside Kaiser Permanente hospital in West LA.
Pearce had been pictured partying with Cabrales-Arzola hours before her death.
Chilling text messages between the girls also shed light on their last moments, prosecutors said according to People.
At 5.30am, 20 minutes after the pair had arrived at Pearce and Osborn’s apartment, Giles texted Cabrales-Arzola ‘Let’s go,’ with a wide-eyed emoji.
One minute later, she responded with, ‘Yes, I’ll call an uber. 10 min away.’
Doorbell footage, however, showed the Uber leaving empty when nobody came to claim it, LA Deputy District Attorney Catherine Mariano said in her opening arguments.

Giles’ husband, Jan Cilliers (pictured left), said that Giles was ‘a really incredible, incredible human I’ve never felt love so deeply, and I doubt I ever will again’
Photographer Michael Ansbach alleged that Pearce gave him, and the two women alcoholic drinks and cocaine laced with fentanyl.
Mariano claimed that the drugs were what ‘ultimately killed them.’
Ansbach said on the witness stand that he had lost count of how many times he had vomited after believing he was spiked, the Los Angeles Times reported.
He claimed he had begged Pearce to get the girls medical assistance, but was ignored and was allegedly told, ‘Dead girls don’t talk.’
At 5pm on November 13, 2021, nearly 12 hours after the women got to the apartment. Pearce and Osborn dropped Giles off at the hospital, claiming they were being ‘Good Samaritans’ who found her unconscious ‘on a curb,’ People reported.
‘We want those people to spend the rest of their lives in prison and that they can’t hurt anyone ever again,’ Cabrales-Arzola’s father told The US Sun from his home in Mexico.
Giles’ husband, Jan Cilliers, told People Giles was ‘a really incredible, incredible human.’
The pair had eloped but planned to have a wedding back in Giles’ native Alabama.
‘I’ve never felt love so deeply, and I doubt I ever will again,’ he added.
Her devastated parents, Dusty and Leslie, said they buried their daughter in the wedding gown she never got to wear.
