"Frank James Receives Maximum Sentence for NYC Subway Mass Shooting"

Frank James, the man responsible for the mass shooting in a Brooklyn subway in April 2022, has been sentenced to 10 life sentences plus 10 years in prison. James pleaded guilty to terrorism charges and apologized to the victims, stating that he wanted to draw attention to inadequate mental health services he had received. His attorney argued for a sentence of 18 years, citing his age, physical health issues, and mental illness, but the judge rejected this, stating that his actions could not be excused by mental illness. James disguised himself as a construction worker, set off smoke bombs, and opened fire on the subway, injuring 10 people. Several victims spoke in court about their fear of riding the subway again, while one offered forgiveness.
