A crook up for sentencing in the death of his girlfriend didn’t impress the judge. He offered an explanation to the court with which the judge took exception, prompting the following exchange:

Alvarez agreed to serve 40 years in prison for the 2011 murder of Margarita Blanco at a trailer home in Northwest Miami-Dade. County police said Alvarez beat her inside her home, then doused her with gas and ran off. She died of severe burns at Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Alvarez, a habitual offender with a long history of crime, blamed his drug use and claimed he walked in on his girlfriend cheating on him.

“Sir, you lit her on fire!” Venzer said.

“Yeah, you know, you’re right. I recognize that. I didn’t meant to do it like that,” Alvarez said.

I take the last line to mean that no matter what happened girlfriend was dead meat. He just didn’t mean to burn her to death.
