HeadlineJul 28, 2021

Robert Aaron Long — the white man charged with massacring eight people at three Atlanta-area spas in March — has been sentenced to four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole, plus 35 years in prison. Seven of the victims were women, six of them of Asian descent. He was sentenced in Cherokee County, Georgia. Long still faces murder charges in Fulton County for some of the spa killings, where the prosecutor is seeking the death penalty.
