Seattle Jewish center killer gets life without parole plus 120 years
|
Naveed Haq
Naveed Haq insists he's not the same man who stalked the halls of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle in 2006, killing one woman and wounding five others to vent his hatred of Israel and Judaism.
In a courtroom filled with victims and their relatives, Haq said Thursday that the man who attacked the federation was filled with rage from mental illness and the wrong medications.
"I am not a man filled with hate," he said. "That Naveed Haq at the federation that July day was not the real Naveed Haq."
(...) A King County jury convicted Haq, 34, last month of aggravated murder in the death of federation campaign director Pamela Waechter, which resulted in the automatic sentence of life without parole.
Haq was also convicted of malicious harassment, the state's hate-crime statute, five counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of unlawful imprisonment.
In addition to the life sentence, King County Superior Court Judge Paris Kallas ordered that Haq serve 87 1/2 years for the attempted murders, more than eight years for the malicious harassment and unlawful imprisonment charges, and 33 years for using a firearm, prosecutors said. The sentences will be served back-to-back, not at the same time.
