Two years after he robbed a seriously injured man and his dying brother, Chol Kur has shown no remorse for what the did.
Maaka and Nate Hakiwai were waiting for a bus on their way to the gym in Melbourne's northwest in September 2019.
Nate was wearing a crusty old Philadelphia '76ers cap, but it caught the eye of Kur who was travelling past with a carload of friends.
It was Kur's idea to rob the boys, telling the driver to pull over so he could "drill" them.
He and a 17-year-old boy jumped out and scuffled with the teenage brothers before another man, Joshua Horton, got out of the car and stabbed Maaka in the chest and Nate twice in the leg.
Maaka, 17, died in hospital while Nate suffered life threatening injuries which left with scars, both physical and mental.
Before he fled the scene Kur stopped and grabbed the hat he'd had his eyes on, robbing the boys in a final cruel act in a series of events he had set off.
Kur was sentenced in the Supreme Court on Tuesday to 323 days behind bars, representing time already served.
He'll immediately be eligible for release, without any parole or supervision.
Justice Andrew Tinney said Kur had shown a callous attitude toward his offending, little insight into what he'd done and had pro-criminal attitude.
"You are nothing more than a bully ... your actions during the event and afterwards speak to a lack of human decency," he said.
"Now almost two years after the events, and all you have gone through in the interim, there is no evidence you are remorseful for what you did - that is unfortunate and very concerning."
His prospects for rehabilitation are poor as a result, but Justice Tinney said the now-21-year-old was still a young man and had time to turn his life around.
"If you don't you'll be back before courts like this one and you'll have a very unhappy life," he said.
