A teenager who gunned down an innocent electrician outside a petrol station laughed as he was sentenced to life in prison - with a minimum term of 22 years.
Bradley Blundell, 19, fatally shot John Pordage, 34, in the early hours of August 5 2017 at a BP garage because he said his friend Ella Colgate had a 'nice bum'.
The teenager appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court today before an emotional public gallery filled with family and friends of Mr Pordage.
John Pordage's family cheered as Judge Gratwicke sentenced Blundell to 22 years in prison - and the teenager laughed in response.

Blundell was also sentenced for a number of other charges which will run alongside his sentence.
Mr Pordage was shot twice in the chest by Blundell before he left the scene after the incident.
While filing up a car, Ella Colgate exchanged words with Mr Pordage and his friend Jamal Samuels, who van was also on the forecourt.
Tracy Ayling QC, prosecuting, said during the trial in December one of the men shouted 'nice bum', as they went to buy cigarettes at the garage's kiosk.
Blundell, who was described by the other men as looking like 'the Milky Bar Kid', pulled out a .32 calibre revolver and shot Mr Pordage in the chest
Electrician Mr Pordage, a former William De Ferrers school pupil was rushed to Broomfield Hospital where he died from his injuries.
Blundell, seen on CCTV after he went on the run after the attack, was said to have reacted to comments about Ella Colgate (pictured, right)
Blundell travelled to Maldon after the incident to destroy evidence that would connect him to the killing.
He later fled the country for seven months before he handed himself over to police in Amsterdam and agreed to be extradited back to the UK.
Blundell, 19, of Cromwell Close, Boreham, was convicted of murder by a jury at Woolwich Crown Court, London in December last year.
He has since been remanded in custody at Chelmsford Prison.
Ella Colgate, of Chelmsford, Essex was sentenced to 12 months in prison.
She was found guilty in December of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, a charge she had denied.
John Pordage's grieving mother Sue Wilson spoke of her relief and heartbreak after a teenager was jailed for murdering her son.
CCTV from the petrol station showed Blundell's friend going into the shop before the attack
Victim Mr Pordage exchanged words with those in the car minutes before the shooting
She said: 'About 30 seconds was all it took for my entire world to be thrown into turmoil on August 5, 2017 when a 16-year-old boy and Bradley Blundell - armed with a cosh and a gun - attacked my son John.
'Since that day I have been so consumed with the twisted feelings of anger and hatred that I have struggled to function, let alone grieve for my son Johnny.
'Blundell and his pathetic little "gang" have even stolen my memories of John, as I have not been able to think about him without thinking of them, all their planning, escapes and covering their tracks, making me feel the bitterness I've become so familiar with.
'Since the word "guilty" was repeated for all of the indictments against Blundell and Colgate, I have felt an overwhelming sense of relief.
'I will never again be able to feel the brightness that he brought to this world.
'My family and I will never be able to move on from this, but I am hopeful that we leave court today feeling that we have achieved justice for John.'
John's sister Teri Pordage said: 'My life will truly never be the same after losing my brother. It's not just my brother Blundell killed, he killed a part of me'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
