A teenager who kidnapped, sexually assaulted and strangled to death a 10-year-old girl before dismembering her body and keeping her skull will die in prison after a judge labelled him 'evil' and sentenced him to consecutive hefty prison terms.
Jessica Ridgeway's killer Austin Sigg, 18, was emotionless as Jefferson County District Court Chief Judge Stephen Munsinger went through each of the 15 counts he pleaded guilty to, handing him a life sentence for first-degree murder and then 86 additional years for counts including sexual assault and kidnapping.
'Evil is apparently real. It was present in our community on October 5, 2012,' Munsinger told the court, after saying the case 'cries out for a life sentence.'
'I expect you to spend the rest of your natural life in prison,' he added to Sigg.
Sigg chose not to address the judge before being sentenced and didn't react while he learned his fate though his mother, Mindy Sigg, sobbed behind him in the courtroom. Afterward, he was handcuffed and led out without comment.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
