Two men who posed as DTE workers to gain entry into a Rochester Hills home last year to murder and rob 72-year-old jeweler Hussein Murray were sentenced Tuesday in Oakland County Circuit Court to life without parole.

"It’s a cowardly act because that’s exactly what you are," Judge Yasmine Poles said while sentencing Jose Hernandez, 38, in remarks captured in a video posted by WXYZ . "It is pathetic. Your actions are absolutely pathetic."

"His life meant nothing to you," she added.

His partner in crime, Joshua Zuazo, 40, also received a life sentence without parole for the murder of Murray, who owned a jewelry store in Hamtramck.

Zuazo, 40, and Hernandez, 38, were tried in the same courtroom with two separate juries. Bot
