A pint-sized bit actor convicted of killing one and injuring four in a wild shoot-’em-up in a Fort Greene beauty parlor was unrepentant yesterday as a Brooklyn judge sent him away for more than 100 years.
Zaire Paige, who had a small role in the movie “Brooklyn’s Finest,” told Supreme Court Justice Vincent Del Giudice, “With all due respect and from the bottom of my heart, suck my d – – k,” eliciting murmurs of “Straight up!” from members of his family in the courtroom.
“I respectfully decline your offer,” said the judge, before imposing the maximum sentence of 107 years to life on Paige.
“You and your co-defendant turned the streets of Brooklyn into a war zone,” Del Giudice said. “You are a danger to all civilized members of society.”
Paige’s accomplice, Robert Crawford, was sentenced last month to 53 years to life.
In October 2008, Paige and Crawford opened fire in a Brooklyn beauty parlor killing Lethania Garcia and wounding two others, including a Brooklyn cop.
Samantha Reid was wounded as she lay underneath Garcia while Paige executed him.
“He should be like an animal,” she told Del Giudice. “He belongs in a cage.”
