Heuermann's attorney, Michael Brown of Central Islip, told reporters after the serial killer was sentenced that he does not know if his client is genuinely sorry for the murders he committed and the families he damaged.

"I don't know...I hope he is. I've been doing this for 35 years now and I think I am a good reader of people, and I can judge how they express themselves," Brown said. "I don't know."

Added Brown: "I can say that over the course of representing him, he has absolutely shown...emotion and it is genuine emotion. It is genuine sincerity."
