El Paso, Texas CNN —The mass shooter who killed 23 people at an El Paso Walmart in one of the deadliest attacks targeting Latinos in modern US history was sentenced to 90 consecutive life terms by a federal judge on Friday.
Defense lawyer Joe Spencer told the court Crusius took responsibility for the harm he had caused and that his rampage was due to severe mental illness.
Wearing an “El Paso Strong” T-shirt, the girl struggled to speak between sobs as she described her terror and enduring pain.
Your tears mean nothing to me,” Karla Romero, whose mother was killed, told Crusius at one point.
“He was not a racist like you.”Hoffman’s father, Alexander Hoffman, was killed in the 2019 shooting.
