MyFoxDetroit.com reports that Jackson County Circuit Judge John McBain told Camia Gamet at Wednesday’s sentencing that the slaying was among the worst “cold-blooded murders” he has seen.
Marcel Hill was beaten and stabbed to death May 18 with a filet knife. When one of Hill’s aunts spoke to the court, Gamet was seen by the judge rolling her eyes and snickering.
“You gutted him like a fish in that apartment,” McBain said at Gamet’s sentencing. “You were relentless. You stabbed, you stabbed, you stabbed, you stabbed, you stabbed until he was dead. I agree with the family, I hope you die in prison as well. You know, if this was a death penalty state, you’d be getting the chair.”
A jury convicted Gamet last month of first-degree murder. Gamet has said she believed she was fighting an intruder in a darkened room and that the slaying was in self-defense.
The 38-year-old Hill was stabbed 11 times. Hill told police in March 2013 that Gamet had struck him in the head with a hammer.
