Last month, Waller was convicted on all 46 counts. According to officials, he continued to claim his innocence and refused to apologize to the victims, who gave their statements on Friday.
“He knows that he’s been proven to be the NorCal Rapist and even though he won’t admit, even though he won’t apologize, even though he won’t show some remorse,” Prosecutor Keith Hill said. “He will know what the jury has said, based on today.”
According to reports, Waller plans to appeal the sentence as he maintains his innocence.
