Results: "I Hope You Die in Prison"
Published on 04/19/2014
A Michigan judge lost his cool when a woman convicted of killing her boyfriend interrupted a family member of the victim who was speaking to the court during sentencing. "Is that it?" Camia Gamet, the convicted killer, asked. That's when Jackson County Circuit Judge John McBain delivered the type of rant rarely heard in a courtroom, which you can see in the video above. "You're going to shut your mouth or I'm going to have some duct tape put on it," he said. "You gutted him like a fish... you were relentless." As Gamet appeared to grin and smirk, the judge really let loose. “You stabbed. You stabbed. You stabbed. You stabbed. You stabbed until he was dead," he said. "I agree with the family, I hope you die in prison as well." McBain said that if Michigan had the death penalty, "you'd be getting the chair."
