Los Angeles, Jul 7 (EFE) for two days hearings with relatives of the deceased and survivors of the attack directed against Hispanics and immigrants.
Last February, Crusius pleaded guilty to 90 federal counts of murder and hate crimes for the shooting at a predominantly Latino Walmart store, for which the government did not ask for the death penalty.
However, Texas prosecutors plan to put him on trial again for the same shooting in a statewide proceeding seeking the death penalty. “We are still going to prosecute the Walmart shooter. And we will still seek the death penalty,” said El Paso District Attorney Bill Hicks.
