The courtroom fell silent as the judge read the sentence — and when the final number was announced, jaws dropped.
Eight counts of assault.
Twelve years for each.
Each sentence to be served consecutively.
“It would depreciate the seriousness of your crimes if you did not serve a sentence for each victim individually,” the judge said sternly, her voice echoing through the chamber.
By the time she finished, the total came to a staggering 158 years behind bars — a sentence that ensures the convicted man will never walk free again.
Families of the victims broke down in tears, finally seeing justice after years of pain. The judge’s words were clear:
“Your actions were heinous. This sentence reflects that.”
The clip of the sentencing has gone viral, with viewers calling it “the definition of accountability.” Many online say it’s a rare moment where the justice system truly matched the magnitude of the crimes.
