The man convicted of a terrorist attack at Flint’s Bishop airport told a federal judge Thursday he regrets he didn’t have a machine gun.
Amor Ftouhi told the judge he regretted not killing the airport police officer he stabbed in June of 2017.
Ftouhi is a native of Tunisia and was living in Montreal at the time of the attack.
U-S District Judge Matthew Leitman said Ftouhi's comments tied his hands - and sentenced him to consecutive life terms.
Outside the courthouse, Jeff Neville brushed aside Ftouhi’s statements in court.
“If he didn’t kill me, He probably would want me to say I hated him. That probably would make his day. But you know what. He ain’t getting that from me. 'Cause I don’t hate him.”
Jeff Neville retired from law enforcement after the attack that nearly ended his life.
