I've been in courtrooms where I've seen similar behavior.
One that stood out to me was a sentencing for a woman who was convicted for manslaughter.
She had sought out a friend who was a recovering heroin addict, and basically nagged him into buying drugs from her. He gave in, and the heroin she sold him was laced with fentanyl, which killed him. Turned out she knew it was laced.
During the victim impact statement, the man's mother told the story about how she had used her dead son's phone to text this woman about the drugs. How callous the woman was about him being an addict who relapsed. While she was speaking, the woman gave the man's mother dirty looks, rolled her eyes, and made faces that showed how little she cared. The judge noticed this, and he gave the woman the maximum sentence. Over a decade in prison, I think.
When the woman heard that, she started bawling, like she was the real victim. "You're taking me away from my kids!" I remember hearing her scream. Irony completely lost on her.
The point of all this is to say some people aren't remorseful of what they did, but they sure do try to pretend like they are once the reality of consequences smacks them in the face.
Crazy how the 40 hour work week is now maligned as ultra capitalism when in reality Henry Ford, a known neo-Nazi, popularized the 40 hour work week so his employees could have extra time with their family.
He also raised their wages because he believed ever Ford man should own a Ford car.
He was later sued from carrying out these pro-worker measures by these guys for "breaking fiduciary duty to shareholders"
The 35 years they gave to Karmelo Anthony is symbolic of them still seeing us as 3/5ths of a human being who's rights they are not obligated to respect....
