The white nationalist who targeted Hispanics when he killed nearly two dozen people at a Walmart store in a Texas border city in 2019 is likely to be sentenced on Friday, having already agreed to accept 90 consecutive life terms when he pleaded guilty.
Its because this was the federal case not the state case, nothing to do with his race. Very rarely does the federal goverment pursue capital charges when a plea deal has been made. Texas is pursuing the death penalty afaik.
