   A prostitute who admitted killing seven middle-aged men who picked
   her up hitchhiking on Florida highways was sentenced to death Friday
   for three of the slayings.
   
   "Thank you. I'll go to heaven now and you all will rot in hell,"
   Aileen Wuornos said after Judge Thomas Sawaya handed down the
   sentences.
   
   Wuornos, 36, had said earlier that she wants to be executed as soon
   as possible.
   
   Wuornos read an hourlong statement Friday. She complained the
   treatment she received was "sending society a message that a woman
   who defends herself is likely to end up on Death Row . . . they're
   saying that male dominance is OK and woe be tothe woman who takes
   action against a violent man."
   
   Friday's sentencings were for the killings of Dick Humphreys, Troy
   Burress and David Spears in the summer of 1990. Wuornos also was
   sentenced to death in Januaryfor killing Richard Mallory.
