He spoke about how he never had her when he needed her, and she never got to see who he had become.

And there was Nicolette Brainerd Barnes, Maureen's daughter.

She spoke really lovingly about her mother, but then really turned her anger on Huerman.

Yeah.

I mean, talk about taking the bull by the horns.

I mean, this is her one shot, her one chance to finally get that closure.

And she was not going to throw it away.

You'll see a range of emotions from each victim, some just extreme sadness, obviously, at the loss.

But then others really did have this angry side because there's obviously so much anger here.

And it was almost like, you know, an emotional release for these victims to have their day in court, to have this justice, to have this closure.

Yes?

Yeah, and Erin, if you listen closely, you can faintly hear him in the background saying, yes, I am.

Yeah, I mean, honestly, you don't see that that often at a sentencing.

This judge, again, you could hear the quiver in his voice.

He was audibly yelling by the end.

You know, when we watch sentencings on television, typically it is for heinous crimes, so judges do get a little more worked up and emotional.

But typically at your average sentencing, a judge is much more tempered, much more

you know, really a little bit more toned down and follows the sort of courtroom etiquette, which is not to raise your voice, be controlled.

Here, he just threw all caution to the wind and really let loose on Heerman.

So the judge sentenced Heuermann to three consecutive sentences of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for the deaths of Bartholomew, Waterman and Costello, and four consecutive sentences of 25 years to life for each of the murders of Brainerd Barnes, Taylor, Castilla and Mack.
