In the news today, there was this guy that was convicted for pissing on a disabled woman as she lay dying. It happened somewhere in the UK, where this sod was drunk/high and thought it was amusing that this lady had fallen from her wheelchair. They actually called an ambulance later on, but the lady was already dead (not caused by the guy).
Certainly a deplorable act, this was supposedly a one of a kind conviction. What hit me was what the judge said; "You have plumbed the depths of depravity". Now if that isn't a power packed line, I don't know what is. It's often that the newspapers quote judges, and they're usually very good lines.
Do these judges have a list of 'judgment quotes' in front of them when they sentence? Is it spontaneous?
Or since the decision is primarily made by a jury, the judge is pretty bored during the session. Plenty of time to rack his brains for a 'FINISH HIM' line.
