Crusius pleaded guilty in February after federal prosecutors took the death penalty off the table. But Texas prosecutors have said they will try to put Crusius on death row when he stands trial in state court. That trial date has not yet been set.

Joe Spencer, Crusius’ attorney, told the judge before the sentencing that his client has a “broken brain.”

“Patrick’s thinking is at odds with reality … resulting in delusional thinking,” Spencer said.

any mass shooter has a broken brain. I doubt however that if he was darker the punishment wouldn’t be as severe.

The way the system works, even if they give him the death penalty he will probably be drawing social security before they x=carry it out.

I’m sure he’s thankful that he only got 90 consecutive life terms instead of 95.

The death penalty is too cruel. Such a murderer should be sentenced to a Short Life term, thirty days at least, ninety days a the most.

“Far right wing individual” is the term required to be used where “perpetrator” was once the correct word.

Well to be fair, there is this also this background to the shooting:

‘Crusius drove more than 700 miles from his home near Dallas to target Hispanics with an AK-style rifle inside and outside the store. Moments before the attack began, Crusius posted a racist screed online that warned of a Hispanic “invasion” of Texas....

‘Before the shooting, Crusius had appeared consumed by the nation’s immigration debate, tweeting #BuildtheWall and posts that praised then-President Donald Trump’s hardline border policies. He went further in his rant posted before the attack, sounding warnings that Hispanics were going to take over the government and economy.’

If your on death row in CA, your far more likely to die of old age then be executed.

As of January 2023, There were 671 prisoners on CA’s death row.

From 1992 to September 2021, there were 13 executions carried out in California.
