'I will always have my freedom and he will not. Jake Patterson can never take my courage,' Jayme Closs vows in a powerful statement read on her behalf at kidnapper's hearing. Jake Patterson was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Jayme Closs vowed to never let her kidnapper take her freedom or her spirit from her in a powerful statement read at the sentencing hearing of Jake Patterson, the 21-year-old Wisconsin man who pleaded guilty to abducting 13-year-old Closs, killing her parents and then holding her captive until she escaped.

Patterson, appearing emotional, told the court that he wish he could"take back what I did. ... I don't care about me, I'm just so sorry." "I loved my mom and dad very much... he took them away from me forever," Closs' statement read."I felt safe in my home and I loved my room and all of my belongings. He took all of that, too. I don't want to even see my home or my stuff because of the memory of that night. My parents and my home were the most important things in my life."

"Oct. 14 was a typical family event with nothing but happiness," said Smith."We spent the next 88 days living in fear, pain and not knowing what happened to our family."

He deserved death without parole.

Evil exists. So do God’s warriors. Evil got Trumped!

The only upside to this murder/kidnapping is he held her for 88 days and didn't sexually assault her. It could have been worse.

But Democrats want to give him the right to vote even from prison

why he still alive?

Now do Trump

At least his hair grew back huh?

The death penalty needs to be brought back in every state and country. Its appalling he gets to live

ABC fake news You people should be ashamed to call yourselves news Nothing but anti Trump, left wing propaganda tool. The people see right through your bias You guys really blow

Why didn’t you say “Alleged”

Shove him under a bed like he did that poor girl and take him out to eat and go to the bathroom Cause that’s what he would do to her for the rest of her abduction if she didn’t escape among other sick acts Really! Do to these inhumans what they did to there victims Eye for an eye

So tax payers have to pay for this piece of crap for life? We so need to change.

Say hello to the next White House Chief of Staff
