Madden was sentenced to four consecutive life terms in
prison on Thursday after admitting to killing a 62-year-old
gay man in Oklahoma City last year, reports The Oklahoman.
In a plea deal
made with prosecutors, Madden, 38, pleaded guilty to
kidnapping and slaying Steven Domer. He earned two
additional like terms for assaulting and spitting on
Oklahoma County jail guards.
The victim's
brother Mort Domer spent a half hour with Madden before the
self-identified white supremacist made his plea. Domer told TheOklahoman that the evil he saw in Madden
during a preliminary hearing on October 27, 2007, was gone
yesterday, adding that his eyes "looked like a little
boy's eyes. It was sad."
Madden also
admitted to killing Bradley Qualls, the man who helped him
kidnap Domer on October 26, 2007. In all, Madden will serve
five consecutive life sentences and will likely die in
prison.
Domer said he was
grateful to have gotten the opportunity to meet with
his brother's killer and ask why the two men had targeted
his brother. He added that Madden told him it was
planned as a simple robbery, and Domer said it
helped to see his remorse for what he had done.
Defense attorney
Melissa French told the paper that the meeting was
also helpful to Madden because Domer offered him
forgiveness. (The Advocate)
