Quietly and without emotion, Walmart shooting suspect Patrick Crusius pleaded not guilty Thursday in the killing of 22 people in El Paso.
It was his first public appearance since the biggest attack against the Latino community in the U.S. in recent memory.
A grand jury indicted Crusius last month on one count of capital murder of multiple people, punishable by life in prison without parole or the death penalty. Crusius had confessed to police, indicating the defense may be considering an insanity defense.El Paso County Dist. Atty. Jaime Esparza has said he will seek the death penalty. U.S. Atty. for the Western District of Texas John Bash has said his office plans to indict Crusius on federal hate crime, domestic terrorism and firearm charges.
“He not only hurt the victims, but he devastated an entire city and two countries,” said Leticia Mariscal Varela, the cousin of Oliva Rodriguez Mariscal, who was wounded along with other members of her family during the Aug. 3 shooting. Crusius, a 2017 graduate of Plano High School, has been held at the county courthouse here since the day he walked into a Walmart in East El Paso and cased the store, buzzing with more than a thousand shoppers — the majority of Mexican descent. He returned to his vehicle where he armed himself and went back into the store wearing protective earmuffs and safety glasses and wielding a high-powered assault-style rifle, according to officials who have studied video surveillance of him in the store.
