Convicted Murderer Regrets Impact of Her Crimes on the Image of White Supremacy

A woman who took part in a Pacific Northwest killing rampage fueled by white supremacist beliefs apologized for her actions, but not her views.

Holly Grigsby, 27, was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison with no chance for release.

She apologized in federal court to friends and relatives of the victims. Grigsby said she realized any explanation for her actions, such as her drug addiction, would come across as an excuse, "or make it feel like I'm rationalizing my own insane behavior."

But Grigsby expressed no regret for white supremacist beliefs, only the effect her crimes would have on their public perception.

"My actions have further damaged the reputation of a movement misunderstood," she said "I deeply regret this."

Grigsby and her boyfriend — David "Joey" Pedersen — were arrested in 2011 following the deaths of four people: Pedersen's father and stepmother in Everett, Washington, an Oregon teenager and a California man.
