Pam said she remem- bers getting angry with Skorulski when she would buy the same things Pam bought but realizes now this was just a sign of how close they were and how growing up together had bonded them. "I have so many great memories of Angela that make me smile, but now, be- cause of Scordino killing her, I also have an incredi- bly painful memory that I will never escape," said Pam. She said that memory was made on March 8, 2017. On that day, Pam went to Skorulski's condominium because she had not heard from her sister in severalfrom her sister in severalf weeks. "I will never forget the dread that came over me when I saw her car in the parking garage covered in dust, and not being able to reach her by phone or knocking on her apartment door," said Pam. "Nor will I ever forget the sickness I felt when the police opened her door and that smell came out of her apartment. It was horrible and overpowering, and it told me that she was dead." Pam said she was fur- ther devastated when she was told her sister had been murdered. She said she can't imag- ine the terror Skorulski must have felt when Scordi- no pointed his gun at her and began firing. Pam said she feels great pain and anger when think- ing about the cold-hearted nature of the shooting and how just days prior, Skorul- ski had told Pam that she loved Scordino. Paula said March 8, 2017, was one of the darkest days of her life. At around 8 p.m. that day, Pam and her husband called Paula and told her their sister was dead. "After such a horrific and senseless death, I found myself having to cope with the trauma as well as the grief," she said. "I constantly had images of what it was like for Ange- la in her last moments of life. Did she know she was going to die? Was she afraid? Did she suffer? She died alone. How helpless she must have felt knowing she was going to be killed by someone she had once loved and trusted." Paula said the grief has been overwhelming, and no coping methods were ade- quate to prepare her for this intense trauma. She said the last time she had seen Skorulski was in early February 2017. The sisters had gotten together to celebrate their birthdays. Paula said the event was fun. fun. f Skorulski said she had enough savings to retire but broke down at one point saying, "Why do I always make bad choices?" Paula said Skorulski didn't say what the problem was. She now wishes her sis- ter had told her and Pam more, noting maybe they could have helped. They ended their birth- day lunch with a group hug. "Losing a loved one is al- ways difficult, but homicide is something else. It is a shattering experience," said Paula. "What drives someone to take the life of another hu- man being in such a vile manner? For almost four weeks my sister and I lis- tened to witnesses and ex- pert witnesses present their evidence in great de- tail. It was one of the most disturbing and upsetting experiences I have ever had to endure. When Pam and I were advised to leave the courtroom due to the con- tent of the photos, we knew they must have been grue- some." Paula called for Scordi- no to be held accountable for what he has done.for what he has done.f She said his sentence would not bring her loved one back but argued it would keep him from com- mitting such a vicious crime ever again. Stevenson described Skorulski's murder as "heartless" and "senseless." She also described it as an "execution," noting Sko- rulski was on the ground, incapacitated from the first three gunshot wounds when Scordino pressed the barrel of his gun to the back of her head and pulled the trigger a final time. Though given the oppor- tunity to speak, Scordino said nothing during the hearing. He lowered his head throughout the reading of the victim impact state- ments. Conlan said the evidence of the forensic pathologist revealed this was a "brutal" killing. He said Scordino also took a series of steps to try and conceal his crime. This included hiding ammunition for the murder weapon in the rafters of his basement. He also hid the revolver behind the ceiling tiles in a vacant office of his work- place, Modern Elevator, and placed the bloodstained clothing he had worn dur- ing the murder in a garbage bag and left it at his work- place. "It was not enough," said Conlan. "The police uncovered what happened, aided by the tools of forensic sci- ence."
