BIBB COUNTY, Georgia — A young man who was free for six months before participating in a violent gang crime spree that left two killed appeared in court on Wednesday.

The Telegraph reports that Jordan Keaugh Maxwell represented himself as he pleaded guilty to 20 criminal counts, including armed robbery, aggravated assault, kidnapping, smash and grab burglary, theft, hijacking a motor vehicle and violating the Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act.

He was temporarily transferred to Bibb County Jail in order to attend the hearing, as he’s currently serving two life sentences without parole for the May 2013 killings of Russell Jacobs and James Pittman Wood.

“You realize at this point that you are never going to breathe free air again?” asked Bibb County Superior Court Judge Howard Simms. Maxwell responded that he did.

“Was it worth it?”

Maxwell replied, “It’s done.”

Simms then repeated the question and Maxwell responded with a shake of his head.
