( CNN ) -- A New York man was sentenced Thursday to life without parole for killing four people at a Long Island pharmacy in June . David Laffer , 33 and his wife , Melinda Brady , 29 , pleaded guilty in September to charges related to an armed robbery on Father 's Day at Haven Drugs . Laffer admitted fatally shooting two pharmacy employees and two customers before making off with a large quantity of prescription drugs . He and his wife were arrested four days after the shooting in a violent confrontation with police , according to authorities . Laffer was charged with five counts of first degree murder , one for each victim plus one for multiple victims , and four counts of criminal use of a firearm in the first degree . `` He was given a maximum sentence of life in prison on five counts of murder and 25 years for each count of firearms charge , one for each victim , '' said James Saladino , principal clerk for Judge James C. Hudson . `` There was no surprise . When he took the plea he was told that he will receive life without parole , and that 's what happened , '' said Laffer 's attorney , Eric Naiburg . During the sentencing , Judge James C. Hudson said he saw no signs of remorse from Laffer and requested that the Department of Correctional Services place him in solitary confinement without privileges , said James Saladino , principal clerk for Hudson . `` The judge is powerless to enforce it , ( he ) can only make a recommendation , '' Saladino said . Naiburg was skeptical that the request would be granted . `` My experience says that wo n't happen . Those things are for people like Gotti , '' he said , referring to the late mobster John Gotti . `` They 'll look at him closely and they 'll do what is best for the Department of Correctional Services . '' Brady , who had pleaded guilty to robbery in the first degree as an accomplice , was sentenced Thursday to 25 years in prison followed by five years of supervision . She has been in custody since June . The pharmacy employees killed in the shooting were identified as Raymond Ferguson , 45 , and Jennifer Mejia , 17 . Mejia was just days away from her high school graduation . Also killed were Bryon Sheffield , 71 , a customer who was inside the pharmacy , and Jamie Taccetta , 33 , a customer who walked in on the robbery . She was the mother of two young girls .
