McALESTER — In his final words, Malicoat expressed remorse for his crime.
“I just want to tell everyone how sorry I am that this had to have happened, any of it,” Malicoat said to the witnesses, who including two of his spiritual advisers, three of his attorneys and two other people connected to him.
“I'm sorry I caused the death of another human, but there's nothing I can do to change it. Contrary to what some people believe, I have spent very many years going over it in my head and it's never left me. I hope someday people involved in it will move on.”
He thanked the witnesses who came to support him, then said, “That's just about it.”
