Convicted Killer of 5 Students Apologizes to Victims’ Families
- Share via
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Danny Harold Rolling apologized Tuesday to the families of his victims as a judge considered whether the convicted killer should live or die for slaying five college students.
“Whatever I might have to say at this moment is overshadowed by the suffering I’ve caused,” Rolling told Circuit Judge Stan R. Morris. “I regret with all my heart what my hand has done.”
Rolling pleaded guilty last month to the August, 1990, murders of five students at the University of Florida and Santa Fe Community College. At the end of a penalty hearing last week, the jury voted to recommend death on each of the five murder charges.
