9. William Gorzynski
On October 26th, 2009, William Gorzynski plunged a knife into his 14-year-old brother Matthew’s chest in a moment of rage. The reason?
The pair had gotten into a heated argument over computer speakers. William, who was watching TV at the time, complained that his brother’s music from the computer was too loud, and after yelling at each other the dispute became physical. William then went to the kitchen and grabbed a knife, stabbing Matthew once in the chest.
William then called 911 in a panic and admitted what he had done to a police dispatcher, adding the attack “was an accident”. He sobbed down the phone and pleaded “Please hurry”.
He was sentenced as a juvenile in the case and was sentenced to 12 months in a young offender program followed by a period of supervised release. However, the teen’s biggest punishment of all will undoubtedly be living with the knowledge that he took his own brother’s life — and for such a trivial reason.
