James Kopp gets life plus 10 years
52 year-old James Kopp, the anti-choice extremist who killed Dr. Barnett Slepian in his Buffalo home, was sentenced to life in prison plus 10 years.
Lawyers for James Kopp, 52, had sought a sentence of 25 years to life for the shooting of Dr. Barnett Slepian in his home but U.S. District Judge Richard Arcara went further, the Buffalo News reported Wednesday.Arcara said he didn't believe Kopp's claim in a 61-minute statement that his only intent was to injure the doctor and said "it is the court's intent that you never will be free again," the report said.
Indeed.
