Prosecutors initially charged him with 21 counts of first-degree murder (three counts for each person murdered) and 48 counts of attempted murder. The non-severe 48 counts of batteries, which had been exacerbated by prosecutors, fell before the selection of ju judges began last week.

He is scheduled to be sentenced April 23rd.
