Kelly calling tarrio the ultimate leader of that conspiracy and saying that he has shown no remorse. The sentencing coming after more than three hours of a dramatic hearing in a packed courtroom. Prosecutors describing tarrio as a political terrorist who sought to use force to block the peaceful transfer of power.
