An 18-year-old convicted of slaying a 15-year-old Kayla Rincon-Miller was sentenced to life in prison after a Florida judge rejected his final request before being taken away.
Thomas Stein requested the judge if he could hug his family one last time before leaving the courtroom, but Judge Nick Thompson refused, allowing only a verbal goodbye.
The emotional moment quickly went viral online, with many people debating whether Stein’s apology showed genuine remorse.
