Killer's Questionable Sentencing Attire

2009_10_gavel.jpg A man convicted of killing his girlfriend apparently decided that the best thing to wear at his sentencing was "a T-shirt with his victim's picture and the words 'R.I.P. Love You Forever.'" Naturally, Gregory Morency's move didn't go over well with victim Claribel Hernandez's family—her brother yelled, "How dare you come in here wearing my sister on your chest! You are a punk, you took my sister....Not even hell would be good enough for you." Morency's lawyer told the Daily News, "Well, what can I say, he still loves her." Morency was sentenced to 18 years in prison.

"Punk"?? Either the victim's brother has extraordinary powers of self-restraint or his slander vocab is seriously limited.

Sometimes you have to kill someone before you realize how much you love them? ! ?
