Sentencing Comes After Tearful Testimony And Statement By Rader

"I know the victim's families will never be able to forgive me. I hope somewhere deep down, eventually that will happen," he said.

He also admitted he tracked his victims "like a predator."

Nola Foulston, Sedgwick County District Attorney, asked the judge that Rader be refused anything in prison, such as markers or crayons, that could be used to draw or write about human or animal forms, or anything that might be used to further his sexual fantasies.

Prosecutors earlier flashed a photograph of Rader wearing the mask, tied to a chair and donning a woman's blond wig. They also showed other pictures the killer took in which he had bound himself and was wearing a dress he had taken from a victim's house — apparently reliving the ecstasy of the murder.

Rader looked away briefly as crime scene photos were shown. He otherwise appeared calm throughout the hearing, sipping water or occasionally taking notes on a legal pad.

Gruesome details of the killings were projected on a courtroom screen throughout Wednesday's testimony, including how in 1974, Rader suffocated 9-year-old Joey Otero in front of his mother, Moriarty told The Early Show's Hannah Storm.

Evidence brought to the witness stand was similarly chilling, Moriarty reports. One witness displayed the toys Rader gave to three young children he locked in a bathroom while he strangled another victim, Shirley Vian.

According to testimony, Rader at times used his connections to scouting and local churches to facilitate his crimes and provide him an alibi.
