The man accused of killing 23 people at an El Paso Walmart pleaded guilty to 90 federal charges including murder and hate crimes.
Dressed in a dark blue prison jumpsuit, wearing a facemask and shackled, Patrick Crusius, showed little emotion as he listened to each one of the names of the 23 people gunned down at a Walmart in 2019 or injured in the attack. He answered guilty to each charge of murder and attempted murder as well as hate crimes.
A date for his sentencing has not been scheduled but federal judge David Guaderrama said it would be in June. Crusius, 24, initially entered a plea of not guilty in 2019. He changed his plea after federal prosecutors said they would not seek the death penalty.
Prosecutors described his plan to carry out the attack including the details of his 10 hour drive from a suburb of Dallas to reach El Paso on August 3,2019.

Another whack-job that should spend his life behind bars (assuming the federal government or Texas doesn't end that life). Doesn't matter if you're a whack-job from the right or a whack-job from the left. Lock them up and throw away the key.

A few steps first, ok? Beginning with identifying them BEFORE 23 people die. Then arrest, try, and convict.

Sheer hate and rage are primitive impulses. I'm sure he revels in his revenge.

This took the Federal Death Penalty and case off the table but the Texas case is still moving forward.
