EL PASO, Texas – PPatrick Crusius, the confessed mass shooter who pleaded guilty to killing 23 people at an El Paso Walmart nearly four years ago, was sentenced Friday to 90 consecutive life terms in federal prison.
Crusius showed no emotion as the long-expected sentence was read by U.S. Federal District Judge David C. Guaderrama shortly before noon on Friday. Guaderrama sentenced Crusius to a supermax facility in Florence, Colorado, and asked that mental help services be provided
The decision effectively put Crusius behind bars for the rest of his life. Crusius still faces state capital murder charges that could result in a death sentence. No date has been set for the state trial.
