The white nationalist who targeted Hispanics when he killed nearly two dozen people at a Walmart store in a Texas border city in 2019 is likely to be sentenced on Friday, having already agreed to accept 90 consecutive life terms when he pleaded guilty.
The sentencing by U.S. District Judge David Guaderrama in El Paso follows two days of emotional testimony from witnesses, some of the 22 wounded survivors, and relatives of the 23 dead who delivered impact statements in the presence of the shooter, Patrick Crusius, 24.
Even with the plea agreement, the judge conducted proceedings where witnesses poured out their emotions, expressing hatred for the shooter while revealing their own personal grief. She looked directly at the shooter and told him, "I hate you so much. Hell has a special place for you," KVIA television reported.
Prosecutors said the shooter drove more than 600 miles overnight from suburban Dallas to El Paso, carrying out the massacre on Aug. 3, 2019, using a Romanian derivative of the AK-47 rifle and hollow-point ammunition.
