A California man has been sentenced to 212 years in federal prison for killing his two autistic sons in a bid to cash out on insurance policies worth more than $260,000, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Thursday.
U.S. District Judge John F. Walter sentenced 45-year-old Ali F. Elmezayen to 212 years for his “evil and diabolical scheme” and the “vicious and callous nature of his crimes,” according to the DOJ.
“He is the ultimate phony and a skillful liar… and is nothing more than a greedy and brutal killer,” Walter said, according to the DOJ. “The only regret that defendant has is that he got caught.”
