Four teenagers appeared to smirk, laugh, and dance in court after being charged with killing a 74-year-old woman. The behavior left the judge visibly angry and shocked.
Witnesses in the courtroom said the teens showed no remorse after the full severity of the charges was explained. Instead of lowering their heads, they were seen joking with one another and even dancing in front of the victim’s family.
Prosecutors are pressing the case heavily, arguing that such behavior reveals a disturbing level of disregard for human life and justice. The judge, frustrated, warned the teens that if they continued acting like the offense was something to joke about, it may influence sentencing in a very negative way.
The video has gone viral online, with many condemning the teens’ actions as disrespectful, cruel, and heartless. Others believe their behavior shows they don’t grasp the consequences of their actions — and that justice should be especially severe.
