Chris Watts says he is 'devastated and sincerely sorry for all of this' as he is sentenced to life in prison
Only moments after his very brief statement was shared in the court by one of his defense attorneys, the judge in Chris Watts' murder case sentenced him to life in prison without any possibility of parole, which is the maximum penalty he received under the plea deal he accepted from the prosecutors in order to avoid capital punishment. His attorney told the court on November 19 in Weld County: "Mr. Watts has asked us to share this morning that he is devastated by all of this."
His attorney also said, two weeks after Chris pleaded guilty to the charges: "Although he understands that words are hollow at this point, he is sincerely sorry for all of this." The 33-year-old declined the offer to make a statement himself when the judge asked him if he wanted to, PEOPLE reported.
