Statement of Dr. Barbara J. Masters
Acting Administrator
Food Safety and Inspection Service
On October 19, San Leandro, Calif., sausage factory owner Stuart Alexander was found guilty for the brutal murders of Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) compliance officers Jean Hillery and Tom Quadros and California Food and Agriculture Investigator Bill Shaline.

Today, that same jury has determined that Alexander should receive the death penalty for committing these vicious and heinous acts.

FSIS appreciates the years of hard work of all involved in bringing Alexander to justice. While this case has come to a close, our memories of these brave and committed public servants remain eternal. The FSIS family will never forget the contributions Jean, Tom and Bill made to their profession, their families and to their communities. Their dedication to public health will forever serve as our inspiration as we strive to ensure that U.S. meat, poultry and egg products are the safest in the world.
