00:00This cop killer mocked the deputy's families in court, laughing in their faces and promising he'd
00:04do it again. Luis Bracamontes. He laughed and smiled more every time the courtroom heard how
00:09he killed two deputies. He didn't hide his joy. After yelling, he wished he'd killed more. He
00:14pretended to fire an imaginary gun. He ambushed the officers in a motel parking lot, shot one in the
00:19forehead, and later killed another during his escape. Dale Cregan. There was no sign of remorse
00:24crossing his face as the verdicts were read. He shook hands with co-defendants after confessing
00:28to murdering two policewomen with grenades and gunfire. Cregan had already killed two others in
00:33gang feuds. The judge called it premeditated savagery. Cregan only smiled knowing he'd never
00:38leave prison alive. Lee Rigby killing. Michael Adebalajo and Michael Adebowale had run down
00:44British soldier Lee Rigby with a car, then hacked him with blades in daylight. In court, Adebalajo
00:50yelled Allahu Akbar and fought officers while Adebowale was defiant. Adebalajo was sentenced
00:56to life with no parole, and Adebalajo received life with a minimum of 45 years. Dante Morris.
01:02A packed Tampa courtroom watched Morris stare blankly as his ex-girlfriend testified he called
01:07the officers crackers. He had shot them both during a traffic stop, then calmly fled. When the judge read
01:13the death sentence allowed for killing officers Curtis and Cocab, Morris only looked down, silent,
01:18already resigned to his fate. Mark Gonzalez. He was calm through nearly every proceeding, but before that,
01:24he had bragged to a friend that he had killed a cop. He ambushed Sergeant Kenneth Vann with gunfire,
01:30then tried to claim mental incompetence. In court, his wife spoke of loneliness. The judge ordered death,
01:35noting Gonzalez's chilling calm never changed even at sentencing. Giovanni Crespo. He was now no longer
01:41a uniformed officer. He stood to apologize for shooting two men during a Newark chase. He said he'd
01:46taken a risk that day. The judge called it abuse of power. Crespo's mother wept, begging for mercy,
01:52but he got 27 years, with nearly 23 to serve before parole could come.
01:56Elias Dorsey. Muffled apologies came as Dorsey tried to explain he hadn't been in his right mind.
02:02He'd fired blindly through a door, killing Officer Brianne Leith and wounding his girlfriend. The
02:07court found him guilty, but mentally ill. His sentence totaled more than 30 years, split between
02:12prison and mental health probation. Menelik Jackson. An off-duty officer was Jackson's target as he
02:17opened fire on John Rivera's parked car. When his turn came to speak, he apologized to victims
02:22and officers alike. He said he was eternally sorry. Despite remorse, the judge gave him 90 years,
02:28citing the senseless murder and lifelong impact. Ashford Thompson. He shot Officer Joshua McTarrian
02:34four times in the head during a July 2008 traffic stop, then struggled with a responding officer.
02:39In court, his lawyers later argued mental defects, but Ohio's Supreme Court upheld his aggravated
02:45murder conviction and death sentence. He did not act like he cared in court. Markeith Lloyd.
02:50Convicted of murdering his pregnant girlfriend and Orlando police lieutenant Deborah Clayton,
02:55Lloyd faced charges from aggravated assault to first-degree murder. He shouted profanities in
03:00court, claimed police beat him, and denied mental illness despite expert testimony. Lloyd received a
03:05life sentence for one killing and the death penalty for Clayton's murder. Quentin Smith. Responding to a
03:10911 call about domestic violence, officers entered Smith's home and were met with gunfire. He shot both
03:16men dead, sparking a trial that lasted two years. Witnesses described the chaos and their attempts to
03:21help. In court, Smith showed little emotion as he received two life sentences without parole for the
03:27murders. Humberto Delgado. In 2009, Delgado was stopped by Corporal Mike Roberts while pushing a
03:33shopping cart. After being tased, he fought back and shot Roberts twice, killing him. Doctors said Delgado had a
03:39serious mental illness and believed people were after him. He was first sentenced to death but later got
03:44life in prison without parole.
