PHOENIX — A man convicted of killing six people asked jurors Thursday to “look at the picture of each and every person who had been shot, hurt, killed, mangled” and sentence him to death to help the victims’ families heal.
“I’m not up here to point the finger at anybody else and say, ‘Have mercy on my poor and withered soul,’ ” Dale Shawn Hausner said to jurors before they began deliberations. “I’m willing to accept my punishment like a man without blaming anybody.”
Hausner, 36, was convicted this month of killing six people and attacking 19 others in random nighttime shootings in the Phoenix area in 2005 and 2006.
