Seara Adair, sister of shooting victim Krista Babb, 14, addresses Daniel Densmore on Friday afternoon. Densmore entered a guilty plea in Judge Cindy Morris’s courtroom to the 2011 murders of Julious Wayne Smith and Babb. He received two life sentences.DALTON, Ga. — The sister of a 14-year-old killed last year along with the girls’ fatherlike friend stood in court Friday and told the killer he had taken everything and begged the judge for a harsher sentence.
“He took my whole family from me,” said Seara Adair. “I hope that rests on his conscience for the rest of his life.”
Daniel Densmore, 33, dressed in a red jail jumpsuit and chained around the waist, didn’t look up at Adair. But his mother sat on the front row and clutched her chest, trying not to cry.
When Densmore agreed with prosecutors that he had shot 61-year-old Julious Wayne Smith three times and Krista Babb once, killing them both on Sept. 17, 2011, he brushed away tears from his face.
But to Adair’s disappointment, Densmore declined to speak when he was given a chance to offer any explanation for why he would kill a man he looked up to or a teenage girl who just happened to be in Smith’s house at the time.
