Eric Rudolph Sentenced

HeadlineJul 18, 2005

A federal judge will sentence convicted women’s health clinic bomber Eric Rudolph to the first of four life terms today for deadly bombings in Birmingham and Atlanta. Today he will hear from some of his victims; the first of four such sessions. His Georgia sentencing is set for August 22. That’s when victims of the Atlanta bombings also will have a chance to speak. Under a plea deal that let Rudolph avoid a possible death penalty, Rudolph admitted to an Alabama bombing and the bombing at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics that killed one woman and injured more than 100.
