a defiant eric rudolph pleaded guilty wednesday to carrying out the deadly bombing at the 1996 atlanta olympics and three other attacks, saying he picked the summer games to embarrass the u.s. government in front of the world “for its abominable sanctioning of abortion on demand.”
“because i believe that abortion is murder, i also believe that force is justified ... in an attempt to stop it,” he said in a statement handed out by his lawyers after he entered his pleas in back-to-back court appearances, first in birmingham, ala., in the morning, then in atlanta in the afternoon.
rudolph, 38, worked out a plea bargain that will spare him from the death penalty. he will get four consecutive life sentences without parole for the four blasts across the south that killed two people and wounded more than 120 others.
