Eric Robert Rudolph is still subject to the conditions of his 2005 plea deal, in which he accepted several life sentences in order to avoid the death penalty.

This according to a panel of three judges on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Rudolph acknowledged carrying out three further assaults in Georgia and Alabama in addition to the fatal explosion at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. He entered a guilty plea to several charges of arson and employing a destructive device during a violent crime. In 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a legislation that increased the penalty for using a handgun or other dangerous weapon during a crime of violence was unconstitutionally vague. Rudolph said that this meant he should receive a new sentence. The 11th Circuit rejected his assertion. It was on July 27, 1996, that a bomb went off during a musical performance at Centennial Olympic Park in

downtown Atlanta, killing one person and injuring numerous others. Then, on January 29, 1998, a bombing at the New Woman All Women in Birmingham resulted in the death of a Birmingham police officer and serious injuries to a clinic nurse. Rudolph also planted bombs near a gay-friendly nightclub in Atlanta and an abortion facility in Georgia. Thanks, John.
