From looking at the list of the thirteen out of forty-eight EAR attacks being prosecuted, I notice that only one of the thirteen involves a lone victim - EAR Attack #4 where the woman was severely beaten and her car was stolen. All the rest involve couples. Even EAR Attack #42 (Liberta Ct., Danville) which has DNA evidence is being excluded - it was a lone female victim, but it was the attack where the Danville Papers were found.
I’m thinking that they want the strength of a two-words-against-one scenario for these cases, with two victims hearing the "I just want food and money" ruse - which Paul Holes has said, on its own (with the weapon being wielded), makes it a robbery. EAR Attack #4 may have enough evidence perhaps because of the beating and stolen car evidence. I’m also thinking they want to keep the Danville Papers out of the trial - that’s one of the reasons EAR Attack #42 is being excluded.
Only kidnapping/robbery crimes from Sacramento and Contra Costa counties are being prosecuted - which may be the only counties that kept the paper reports (we already know the physical evidence is gone.) Is that the reason no other counties' crimes are included? And it may be that the other counties didn't think it would be worth the trouble, and wouldn't add much to the prosecutorial case by being involved.

Joseph James DeAngelo’s next thirteen counts are kidnapping with intent to rob. They include:
14) EAR Attack #4 on September 4th, 1976, which took place on Crestview Drive in Carmichael. A twenty-nine-year-old was doing her laundry alone at her parents house when the EAR punched her, broke her nose, dragged her into the house, and sexually assaulted her. At the end of what was one of his most brutal assaults in the history of his crimes, he stole her car and abandoned it a quarter mile away from the scene.
15) EAR Attack #16 on April 2nd, 1977, which took place on Richdale Way in Orangevale. This was the first known assault on couples in the GSK series. As was typical of his attacks on couples, he left the male victim bound in the bedroom and moved the female to the living room. Up until this attack, he’d been targeting lone women or groups of women. It’s the movement of the woman through the house, in addition to the money stolen, that triggers the “kidnap to rob” charge.
16) EAR Attack #17 on April 15th, 1977, which took place on Cherrelyn Way in Carmichael. In an attack very similar to the previous one, the EAR moved the female victim and stole items from the house.
17) EAR Attack #18 on May 3rd, 1977, which took place on La Riviera Drive, Sacramento. Again, the attack was very similar to the other EAR attacks on couples.
18) EAR Attack #20 on May 14th, 1977, which took place on Merlindale Drive in Citrus Heights.
19) EAR Attack #21 on May 17th, 1977, which took place on Sandbar Circle in Carmichael. This is the one where the “Italian family” was attacked. The man had stood up at the community meeting several months before.
20) EAR Attack #22 on May 28th, 1977, which took place on 4th Parkway in South Sacramento.
21) EAR Attack #24 on October 1st, 1977, which took place on Tuolumne Drive in Sacramento. This is the attack discussed by the male victim, Victor Hayes, in a recent article and video.
22) EAR Attack #25 on October 21st, 1977, which took place on Golden Run Avenue in Foothill Farms. <EDIT: this should be Gold Run Avenue>
23) EAR Attack #37 on October 7th, 1978, which took place on Belann Court in Concord. This was the first attack in Contra Costa County.
24) EAR Attack #38 on October 13th, 1978, which took place on Ryan Road in Concord.
25) A DNA-connected attack. This was EAR Attack #39, which took place on October 28th, 1978 on Montclair Place.
26) Another DNA-connected attack. This was EAR Attack #46, which took place on June 11th, 1979 on Allegheny Drive in Danville.
In addition to the kidnapping to commit robbery charge, it’s also alleged that DeAngelo used a firearm as a control weapon in those cases.
