SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The man who terrorized California as the Golden State Killer apologized to his victims Friday morning before being sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Joseph DeAngelo, 74, sat silently next to his defense team as Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Michael Bowman ordered his sentence.
DeAngelo, a former police officer, admitted in June to being the serial rapist, murderer and burglar who stalked his prey in at least six counties in the 1970s and 1980s. He pleaded guilty to 13 counts of murder and 13 counts of kidnapping with robbery.
Before his sentencing, DeAngelo stood up, took off his face mask and looked at the survivors in the audience and said: "I've listened to all your statements, each of them. And I'm truly sorry to everyone I've hurt."
