A suspect in a double homicide took callousness to a new level yesterday: While on the witness stand, Nathan Burris snapped his fingers at the jury and told them to hurry up and convict him so he could get back to his cell in time for Monday Night Football, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. While the victims' families watched silently, the Contra Costa Times adds that Burris giggled and cursed during his testimony, and at one point, speaking to the prosecutor, said of the jury, "This isn't Sesame Street. They get it, bro."
