July 5 (Reuters) - Survivors of a 2019 massacre at a Texas Walmart that killed 23 people and wounded 22 others addressed the white nationalist shooter directly at a sentencing hearing on Wednesday, including one young victim who reportedly told him, "I want you dead."
The shooter, Patrick Crusius, 24, who admitted to targeting Hispanics, will also be allowed to address the court.
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.
