A 63-year-old man in California convicted of killing two women showed “no remorse” during his sentencing hearing, singing “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall” as the families of his victims read their impact statements aloud to the court.

Alameda County Judge Paul Delucchi quickly ejected David Emery Misch from Tuesday’s proceeding and subsequently ordered him to serve two consecutive sentences of 25 years to life in prison for the 1986 slayings of best friends Jennifer Duey 20, and Michelle Xavier, 18, authorities announced.

A jury last month found Misch guilty on two counts of first-degree murder in the women’s slaying, both of whose bodies were discovered naked in a remote area of Freemont, California, on Feb. 2, 1986.

Prosecutors with the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office said Misch intentionally got himself “removed” from the Tuesday hearing to “avoid being present” during his own sentencing.

Misch only got a few seconds into the song before he was removed from the courtroom, but he could be heard continuing to whistle the tune from a nearby holding cell, the East Bay Times reported.
