“I took a life that was not mine to take and I am deeply and sincerely sorry. I know that no matter what I say, I can’t bring back that life, but please forgive.”
That was part of Aubrey Bobb’s address to the court as he begged for mercy before being sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of city businessman Godfrey Scipio, who was popularly known as “Saga.” He, however, would be eligible for parole in just about 25 years.
Responding to a moving impact statement presented on behalf of the dead man’s son, a seemingly apologetic Bobb said that the young man can be assured that he (Bobb) would never again find himself involved in crime.
