By LAUREN ACTON-TAYLOR, US NEWS REPORTER Published: 21:30, 21 April 2026 | Updated: 21:37, 21 April 2026 A convicted Florida killer giggled as he was sentenced to life in prison for murder and told the judge she was 'amusing' as she discussed the gruesome details of his victim's final moments.  Marcus Terry laughed on Tuesday as his sentence was handed down for the gruesome 2021 murder of his cellmate in Miami-Dade.  Terry, 43, had been locked up since 2012 for armed burglary and robbery. His cellmate, Ray Matos, was serving a sentence for attempted murder and armed robbery since 2003, according to the Florida Department of Corrections.  The pair had shared a cell for six days before Matos was found bleeding from his head on April 19 2021, at the Dade Correctional Institute.  An inmate claimed to have heard what sounded like a fight that went on for around 15 minutes, while another inmate saw Terry naked with his hands bloodstained, according to a warrant obtained by WPLG Local 10.  Terry stabbed Matos, 63, in the brain with a pen. He was convicted of the brutal killing in December 2025.  As Terry appeared in court on Tuesday for his sentencing, his defense attorney Steven Yermish claimed that inadmissible evidence had been used in his client's trial in December.  Marcus Terry, 43, laughed as he received his sentencing following a guilty murder conviction for the death of his cellmate two years ago in Miami-Dade Judge Ellen Sue Venzer condemned Terry for laughing as she described the murder of his former cellmate in 2021 and said: 'I found nothing amusing about your behavior' Police claimed that Terry had stabbed his cellmate, Ray Matos, 63, in the brain with a pen. Terry was sentenced to life in prison without parole Judge Ellen Sue Venzer denied Yermish's motion requesting a new trial, NBC Miami reported.  'He shoved a pillowcase into his mouth. When the guards came in to find out what was going on, he was standing on top of this man and his had was bloodied,' Venzer said.  As the judge described the gruesome murder, Terry began to giggle to himself as he stood in court.  'I'm not sure why you're laughing,' Venzer said.  To which, Terry replied: 'You are amusing.' 'I found nothing amusing about your behavior or the death of this gentleman,' Venzer snapped back.  Terry received a life sentence without the possibility of parole, but he can still appeal his sentence, the outlet reported.  The comments below have not been moderated.
