“You got the wrong man,” a convicted killer told a Queens judge yesterday as he was sentenced to 35 years to life in prison for the Thanksgiving Day murder of a 22-year-old man outside a Queens bar.

“The dude didn’t deserve to die, but you got the wrong man,” said John Lundi, 26 of West Babylon, LI, who was found guilty last month of the multiple stabbing and gang assault of Christopher Cotto outside Krystal’s Nightclub in Jamaica on Nov. 27, 2008.

Cotto, 22, got into a heated argument with Lundi because of an inappropriate sexual comment made to his girlfriend, Tiffany Lebron. Lundi and his crew jumped the couple.

“You’ve shown no remorse and you’ll receive no mercy from the court, so society can rest,” Queens Supreme Court Justice Richard Buchter said to Lundi.
