I’m just so sorry.”<br /><br />Gustern’s grandson, AJ Maier Gustern, said after court that he felt Pazienza’s apology wasn’t sincere — and that she only said it to make herself look good.<br /><br />“She’s squirm and squirm and squirm,” Gustern said. “She just doesn’t seem like she is even maybe capable of accepting responsibility.”<br /><br />During Pazienza’s speech, a grieving Gustern sat frozen like a statue.<br /><br />In his victim impact statement, he cursed Pazienza and said she ruined several pleasures in his life, such as voice lessons from his grandma — and that New York City will never be the same for him.<br /><br />“My baba felt safe in this city — even late at night — and you’ve ruined that,” he said.<br /><br />Pazienza was out celebrating her upcoming nuptials with
