During his sentencing hearing in California, a 63-year-old man convicted of killing two women displayed “no remorse” as the families of the victims delivered impact statements. Instead of showing remorse, he chose to sing “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall” while the emotional statements were being read in court.

Following this disrespectful behavior, Alameda County Judge Paul Delucchi promptly removed David Emery Misch from the proceeding. Subsequently, Misch was sentenced to serve two consecutive terms of 25 years to life in prison for the 1986 murders of Jennifer Duey, 20, and Michelle Xavier, 18. The judge’s decision to impose these sentences came after a jury found Misch guilty of two counts of first-degree murder for the slayings of the two teenage friends.

The bodies of Jennifer Duey and Michelle Xavier were tragically discovered naked in a secluded area of Fremont, California, on February 2, 1986. The verdict delivered by the jury confirmed Misch’s involvement in the heinous crimes, bringing some closure to the families of the victims after decades of uncertainty and pain.

Prosecutors with the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office said Misch intentionally got himself “removed” from the Tuesday hearing to “avoid being present” during his own sentencing.

Misch only got a few seconds into the song before he was removed from the courtroom, but he could be heard continuing to whistle the tune from a nearby holding cell, the East Bay Times reported.
