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.

The shooter also faces prosecution from the state of Texas that could result in the death penalty. The shooter, wearing a blue prison jumpsuit, glasses and shaggy long hair, showed no emotion and avoided looking at victims, reporters said. At the time of the guilty plea in February, Spencer told reporters, "There are no winners in this case.

Jan 17 (Reuters) - Federal prosecutors will not seek the death penalty for the man accused of killing 23 people and injuring dozens more in a hate crime targeting people of Mexican descent at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, in 2019, a court document filed on Tuesday showed. Crusius pleaded not guilty in 2020 to 90 federal hate crime charges in the case. Proceedings were delayed while prosecutors decided whether to pursue the death penalty against him. Last year, a Texas judge put off a state trial in the case as federal prosecutors determined whether they would seek capital punishment. In a notification to the court and to the defendant filed Tuesday, First Assistant U.S. Attorney Margaret Leachman said the government would not seek death in the case.
