He shot an 18-year-old honor student in the back of the head. Then 17-year-old Danta Wright sat in court smiling while the victim's mother cried, and told the room: "I'll be home soon." In the video below, watch him grin through the family's statements, then watch the judge lose it. In October 2016, Wright and 2 friends tried to rob Jordan Klee, a senior and football player at Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Wright shot him in the back of the head. Jordan was found dead on a walking path. At sentencing, Jordan's mother's words were read out loud: "I've lost my only child, my son, my baby, my friend... I no longer have the hope of having grandchildren." Wright smiled, nearly laughed and shook his head. Judge David Swartz stopped everything. "Watching you sit there, smile, laugh, shake your head like this was no big deal, I'm very tempted to just say I'm not going to accept this sentencing agreement." At trial, he warned, it could be life in prison: "That means you'll die there." The judge said he had never thrown out a plea deal before. But during the break, Jordan's family asked him not to send the case to trial, because they wanted to move on. His lawyer apologized and said the teen "displays fear by smiling." He got 23 to 50 years. 1 life taken. 1 smile. 23 years minimum. Should the judge have ignored the family and sent him to trial for life?
