SUMMARY: Patrick Wood Crusius, the El Paso Walmart shooter, pled guilty to multiple capital murder and aggravated assault charges, resulting in a life sentence without parole.

His defense lawyer argued Crusius suffers from mental illness, which influenced his actions. Despite this, the court focused on the victims’ resilience and community strength in the face of tragedy. The district attorney emphasized the shooter’s guilt and the need for healing, with survivors and families given an opportunity to speak.
