David Schicchi of Brooklyn said "I love you so much that it hurts inside"--to the girlfriend he killed three years ago. After being convicted of stabbing Jennifer Davids seven times in the head, back and neck with a knife and scissors, breaking off the wooden handle and leaving the scissors stuck in her neck, Schicchi read a long rambling statement to the court in which he appeared to be speaking to his victim. He talked about regrets over spending too much time waxing his car instead of taking his girlfriend out, then recited the lyrics to the 1987 pop song "Can't We Try," which go "Can't we try just a little bit harder? Can't we try just a little bit more?" No, David, we can't.
