The film ends with an epilogue on the events following Rebecca's murder: 
Robert John Bardo was tried by prosecutor Marcia Clark, in Rebecca's murder. He was convicted of capital murder in a bench trial and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Shortly after Rebecca's death, her My Sister Sam co-stars reunited to film a public service announcement for the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence in her honor.
In the wake of Rebecca's murder, as well as numerous high-profile stalking cases during the 1980s, in 1990, California became the first state to enact anti-stalking laws nationwide. All other states have since followed suit.
Since Rebecca's death, celebrities and non-celebrities take precautions to protect themselves from stalkers.
