N.J. Serial Killer Gets 160 Years in Prison for Using Social Media to Target Victims of 2016 Rapes and Murders

A New Jersey man and serial killer responsible for the rapes and murders of three women was sentenced to 160 years in prison on Wednesday.

Khalil Wheeler-Weaver, 25, was largely silent during his sentencing proceedings in front of Essex County Court Judge Mark S. Ali.

According to the Associated Press, the convicted murderer kept quiet as the court handed down a sentence that will keep him behind bars for the rest of his life. He similarly made no noise while victim impact statements were read by surviving family members of two of his victims. Wheeler-Weaver reportedly only spoke briefly, just before those emotion-heavy statements were read aloud, to disclaim all responsibility for his crimes and to tell the judge that he was framed.

“I hope you suffer, boy, every night,” Victor Butler, the father of his final murder victim reportedly said while imploring the court to consider the maximum available sentence in the case.

An Essex County court took less than three hours to convict Wheeler-Weaver of those murders in 2019. He was also found guilty of kidnapping, aggravated arson, and desecration of human remains related to the murders. Wheeler-Weaver was additionally convicted of kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault and the attempted murder of a 34-year-old woman who survived his final known attack.

The serial killer’s spree of sexual violence spanned four months in late 2016. Then only 20 years old, he was found to have used dating apps to lure his victims into private situations where he would subsequently strangle them to death, taking pains to conceal the women’s bodies.

N.J. Serial Killer Gets 160 Years in Prison for Using Social Media to Target Victims of 2016 Rapes and Murders

What badly written headline. He got 160 years for the murders and rapes, not for using social media.

Death penalty would be preferable.

In a truly civilized country this killer would have been hanged within a week of the guilty verdict. Instead he will be confined to a country club prison environment with all of his creatures comforts, medical care, legal counsel, recreational facilities, etc., etc., paid for by taxpayers.

So he’ll be eligible for parole in about 12 years, right?

But the story is still developing. On Dec. 11, 2019, the prosecution rested their case.

Say wha...?
