Huh. Just don't see why we can't try and execute these types of egregious crimes.
Very disappointed in Wyoming and the federal authorities.
The person who pleaded guilty to state murder charges in a mass shooting at an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado has reached a plea agreement on federal charges, court documents show.
As part of the proposed agreement, Anderson Lee Aldrich, 23, will plead guilty to 74 counts of federal hate crimes and gun crimes for the November 2022 massacre at Club Q in Colorado Springs that left five people dead, according to the documents.
They are expected to receive “multiple concurrent life sentences plus additional consecutive sentences totaling 190 years imprisonment,” upon a judge’s acceptance of the plea’s terms, the agreement says. Aldrich identifies as nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.
In a news release announcing the agreement, the US Department of Justice called the attack “willful, deliberate, malicious and premediated,” and alleged it was committed “because of the actual or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity of any person.”
Club Q mass shooter sentenced to over 2,000 years in prison after family begs judge to ‘lock this animal away to the depths of hell’
Aldrich is currently serving five consecutive life sentences plus an additional 2,208 consecutive years without the possibility of parole on the state charges at the Wyoming State Penitentiary. They pleaded guilty to five counts of first-degree murder and 46 counts of attempted murder in June.
The agreement stipulates the United States will not seek the death penalty against Aldrich and the proposed sentence “is sufficient but not greater than necessary” for justice in the case.
Both parties are requesting a change of plea hearing with an immediate sentencing to avoid repeatedly transferring Aldrich between state and federal custody and creating an undue burden on law enforcement personnel, victims and family members, and Aldrich themself.
