CHICAGO -- A day after Virginia Perillo was brutally attacked in her Bridgeport garage, her eldest son softly held her hand as she drew her last breath, assuring her it was OK to let go.
Later that week, Raymond Harris lovingly held the hands of his high school sweetheart and proposed with the wedding and engagement rings he took from 73-year-old Perillo after bludgeoning her, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.
It was a "cold and callous murder that was stifling and stunning," Cook County Judge Charles Burns said Wednesday before sentencing Harris to life in prison without parole.

Why do taxpayers have to pay to keep this monster alive for the rest of his life? I don’t get the morality here.
Wonder what his girlfriend thought of his romantic gesture.
Too many black men in prison. Je$$e said so.
My first thought as well. kill this POS.
Yea, well we can all thank former-governor, then inmate, George Ryan for stopping death penalties.
Did the 73 year old Saint of a human being (i.e., the victim, no /sarc) show “micro aggression” to this feral urban animal?

OK, this comment is not well constructed - I am beat - but I will end with the following: This rabid animal should be put down.
But Brother Je$$e also says he is relieved when he hears footsteps behind him and sees that it is a White dude.
Kill him. Case closed.
Did she get to keep the stolen rings ?
He did say that, something a white man would be called racist for saying. But then, there’s a different set of rules for people like Je$$e and those like him.
Yep — death penalty, swift justice in order here. He is one sick person.
As they say, if the left didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all.
Trump believes in bringing back the death penalty; GOD bless him !
Gosh. Just think that Chicago Fairy Tale. Everyone lives happily ever after except they don’t.
“Harris was paroled in May 2011 after serving 13 years of a 30-year sentence for his 1997 attempted murder and aggravated arson convictions.
Just three weeks before that attack, Harris had been released from prison for a 1993 armed robbery, vehicular invasion and burglary. In that case, Harris brandished a gun at a woman leaving her car outside her home.”
What is it about attempted murder that seems less risky to those who let these kinds of criminals out early?

I believe the crooked cop also lost his state pension.
Why should not such a callous killer not get the death penalty? It seems just to me.
Black lives, and marriages, matter more than old ladies....
