Plea Deal Is Reached in Olympic Bombing (abortion, religion, death penalty)

[NewsBot/WarnBot]

ATLANTA — With his trial underway, Eric Robert Rudolph agreed to plead guilty to a series of bombings that advanced a militant antigay, antiabortion ideology — including a deadly explosion at the 1996 Summer Olympics here.

The plea agreement, which the U.S. Department of Justice announced Friday, calls for Rudolph to serve a life sentence without parole and allows him to escape the death penalty.

I don't know how big this story is in the rest of the country, but here in Hot'Lanta, GA,the Olympic Park, aboriton clinic and Other Side lounge bombings dominated our news. I know a lot of people were hoping he got the death penalty, but I think the plea was a good move...all things considered.
