    His youngest victim was seven years old (Julian).
    He was estranged from Jennifer's sister Julia, whom he was married to.
    He joined the Gangster Disciples as a youngster.
    After killing Jennifer's mom and brother, he sped off in the brother's car with young Julian inside, then later shot him.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Jennifer was his first witness in his murder trial.
    He was Jennifer's brother in law.
    He received three life sentences for the three murders.
    He offered his sympathy to Jennifer and the other remaining surviving members of her family.
    He claimed to still love Julian as he was sentenced.
    The judge who presided over the case described him as 'possessing a soul 'as barren as dark space' and '[Having] the heart of an arctic night.'
    As a child, he was continuously abused by his mother.
