Man learns casino losses not deductible
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Jan. 18 (UPI) -- A man who pleaded guilty to two murders in Florida performed a self-written rap song in court before he was sentenced to life in prison.
Cordaro Hardin, 21, who was convicted Thursday of the shooting deaths of David Heath and Jeff Shultz in St. Petersburg in January 2007, performed a song entitled "Where Do I Go From Here?" in Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge Nancy Moate Ley's courtroom before the jury handed down the prison sentence, sparing him the death penalty, the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times reported Monday.
"God, I need a little assistance, will you be with me? By my side when I leave here, where do I go from here?" Hardin sang before receiving two life sentences.
Heath's mother, June Bartke, left the room during the song and later said she found the performance inappropriate.
