Judge's powerful statement at sentencing of white supremacist shooter

[wnylib]

who murdered 10 people and wounded 3 at the Tops market in Buffalo. After relatives and friends gave their victim comments, Erie County court judge Susan Eagan gave a strong statement about white supremacy and institutionized racism that made the massacre possible. It is worth listeming to the full statement.

Not included in this video is the actual sentencing as she delivered it after making the statement in the following video. Buffalo NPR played the sentencing portion, too. Judge Eagan named each victim, one at a time, in giving a life sentence without parole on each count. After each name, she identified the person as wife, mother, daughter or husband, father, son, etc. and said a few words about their roles in the community.

6. Yes. She pulled no punches.

The sentencing portion was equally strong, but I could not find a video of it.

Buffalo NPR, WBFO, will play the sentencing portion again at 9:00 pm eastern tonight on their program, What's Next.
