Tuesday was an emotional day in court, with the prosecutor tearing up as he said the killings were the most egregious crimes the county had ever seen, CNN affiliate KSHB reported 
 
 "This is the most disruptive, evil human being I've encountered in my career," Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe told reporters after Tuesday's hearing, according to KSHB. This time, it echoed in a crowded courtroom as a judge weighed whether the man who gunned down the 14-year-old, his grandfather and another victim at two Kansas Jewish centers last year should pay for the killings with his life. Soon afterward, Judge Thomas Kelly Ryan read his order, affirming the jury's verdict and sentencing Cross to death by lethal injection.

 The shooting rampage started when Cross killed William Lewis Corporon, 69, and his 14-year-old grandson, Reat Griffin Underwood, at a Jewish community center in a Kansas City suburb. After the judge announced his decision, Cross gave the "Heil Hitler" salute and was forcibly removed from the courtroom. On the way out, Cross said, "One day my spirit will rise from the grave and you'll know I was right. Cross said in court on Tuesday, as he did during the trial, that he wanted to kill Jews because he believes they control the media, financial institutions and the government. Despite his apparent intentions, none of the three people Cross killed were Jewish. Cross, representing himself in court, said on Tuesday he should be released because he was justified in trying to kill Jews.
– Frazier Glenn Cross, the white supremacist whose poisonous beliefs led him to murder three people at two Jewish sites in Kansas last year, was unrepentant after he was sentenced to death on Tuesday. The 73-year-old, who also goes by the name Frazier Glenn Miller, shouted "Heil Hitler!" after the judge affirmed a jury's decision and issued the death sentence, CNN reports. "One day my spirit will rise from the grave and you'll know I was right. I'm a happy man," Cross said as he was forcibly removed from the courtroom. At the hearing, Cross argued that the killings were justified because Jews control the government and the media, reports Reuters, which notes that all three people he killed were Christians who happened to be outside Jewish centers. The victims were Terri LaManno, 53, Reat Underwood, 14, and Underwood's grandfather, 69-year-old William Corporon. Corporon's son Will was among the family members who spoke at the hearing. "You are a coward," he said, per Reuters. "You are not a patriot. You are a disgrace to the uniform you wore," he told Cross, a Vietnam vet who became a "grand dragon" in the KKK. Before the verdict, Underwood's mother, Mindy Corporon, played a video of her son singing the national anthem, prompting many in the courtroom to sing along, CNN reports. Kansas hasn't executed anybody since 1965 and it may not get the chance to execute Cross: The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that he has chronic emphysema and only a few years to live.
