Man on a 'jihad' sentenced to life without parole for murder

Published May 01, 2018

NEWARK, N.J. –  A former Seattle resident who admitted killing four people on a self-proclaimed "jihad" to avenge U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East received a life sentence without parole Tuesday for the 2014 ambush of a college student sitting in his car at a traffic light in New Jersey.

Ali Muhammad Brown, 33, is expected to be extradited to Washington state to face charges in the three other killings.

On Tuesday, facing a courtroom packed with more than 100 friends and relatives of the victim, Brown initially apologized to the parents and then went off on a rambling monologue in which he repeatedly asked to be treated "as a human being, not a monster."

"...a rambling monologue in which he repeatedly asked to be treated "as a human being, not a monster.""

My choice:
The latter.
