TL;DR Summary

Patrick Crusius, a white supremacist who killed 23 people in a mass shooting at an El Paso Walmart in 2019, has been sentenced to 90 consecutive life sentences. The sentencing came after a three-day emotional hearing, during which the defense argued that Crusius suffered from a mental disorder. The judge dismissed this claim, stating that the shooting was a calculated act targeting immigrants and Hispanics. Crusius will serve his sentences at the ADX Florence supermax federal prison. The state of Texas is also pursuing charges against him, seeking the death penalty.
