Killer smile: Subway shove suspect appears in court after allegedly killing retired teacher in NYC

A crazed repeat offender flashed a devilish grin as he made his first court appearance Saturday for allegedly shoving an elderly, retired teacher down an NYC subway stairwell, killing him.

Rhamell Burke, who’s been arrested four times since February, showed no remorse at his arraignment on murder charges for the random attack against retired teacher Ross Falzone.

The judge ordered Burke – who already had four open criminal cases when Falzone was killed – remanded and said the suspect was a flight risk.
