He has a hard-earned reputation as the toughest judge in town. But yesterday, Robert Hanophy had to fight to keep his composure as he packed a baby-faced murderer off to prison for the next 51 years.
The judge's show of emotion in Queens Supreme Court was not for teenage killer Charles Bryant - but for the immigrant family of 18-year-old Huang Chen, the Chinese food delivery man Bryant beat and stabbed to death on Feb. 13, 2004.

It began, law enforcement officials said, as a robbery plot: Two teenage friends placed an order from a Chinese restaurant in South Jamaica, Queens, on Friday night so they could steal from the man delivering the food.

But after they lured the man, Huang Chen, 18, into the apartment, and he pleaded with them just to take the money he was carrying, they stabbed and beat him to death with a baseball bat because they feared he would identify them to the police, the officials said. Then they took Mr. Chen's body from the apartment in a shopping cart and dumped it in a pond in Brookville Park...

Mr. Chen was a polite, hard-working and doted-upon only son of Chinese immigrants who own the Ming Garden restaurant, at 134-14 Guy R. Brewer Boulevard, customers and area merchants said. He had worked full time as a cashier, cook and deliveryman since graduating from high school.

From July 2005:
