(CHICAGO) A Cook County jury Thursday convicted a Carpentersville man of robbing and killing an elderly Bridgeport woman and then using her stolen wedding and engagement rings to propose to his high school sweetheart.

“We think it’s a little demented, creepy,” Virginia Perillo’s eldest son, John, said of how Raymond Harris bludgeoned her to death and then gave her jewelry to his girlfriend during a romantic moment. “Mr. Harris has no morals. . . . All he cares about is himself.”

He said there will always be “a gap” in his and his family’s life, but he was glad the trial was over, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.

No, the guy has morals.

It is called “I do what I want.” At root it is satanic, whether the person recognizes it or not. I recognize it for what it is.

Only one effective way to deal with people like this.

At first I thought so too. Then I thought about it and said, "naw, the guy was asking the woman to marry him".

That is VERY UNUSUAL among 0's people.

Imagine my surprise...

The victim was a nurse and was caring for her husband who had suffered a stroke. She had lived an honorable life and raised her children. The killer had the following accomplishments:

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.

The parole board should answer to the victim’s family.

A perfect example of pragmatism: I did this to get that.

You know, like redistribution of wealth. Or voting with dead people.
