Anderson Lee Aldrich admitted to the hate crimes and was sentenced to 55 life terms on Tuesday, but once again declined to apologize or say anything to the victims' families.

Prosecutors are expected to show during the hearing that Anderson Lee Aldrich was spreading anti-gay slurs online in the weeks before the 2022 attack. Aldrich is already serving a life sentence in prison after pleading guilty to state charges last year and pleading no contest to hate crimes in that case. In the federal case, prosecutors have focused on proving the attack at Club Q was premeditated and fueled by bias against LGBTQ+ people.
