Mazzei asked the 6-foot-4 former architect if he had anything to say before he was sentenced in Suffolk County court for killing eight women.
But when the Gilgo Beach killer started speaking from his seat, the judge scolded him to “Stand up!”
“There are no words I can say, but I am responsible for what was said in this room today,” Heuermann said.
“The words I would say have no meaning and I’m going to leave it there at this time,” he added meekly.

Someone from the crowd yelled “Speak up!” before Mazzei unloaded on the killer.
“Mr. Heuermann, as [Suffolk County District Attorney Ray] Tierney said, I know that you’re sorry you got caught,” Mazzei said, barely containing his disgust with the sicko.“I assume that you’re sorry for what you did to your wife and children.
“Are you a little bit sorry for what you did to these poor innocent women — eight women you strangled to death, at least eight women that we know of,” he added. “Are you at least a little bit sorry about that. Yes!?”

Heuermann answered that he was, then stood emotionless as a stone-faced officer hovered near him.
“You’ve been described as a very big man but you’re a disgusting and despicable small man if you’re a man at all and you’re a coward,” Mazzei told Heuermann — then delivered his sentence before adding, “Get him out of here.”
