Don't Cry for Me, Somali Pirate

I was gonna title this post "Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a Pirate's Cry for Me" but I was afraid nobody would get the play on words. Tell me in the comments which one you liked better.

Our Somali pirate friend, last seen grinning like the Cheshire Cat as he entered New York City, had a more difficult time today:
The sole surviving Somali pirate from the hostage-taking of an American ship captain wept in federal court Tuesday as he faced the charges against him.

A federal judge determined that the suspect, Abdiwali Abdiqadir Muse, is an adult and reopened the New York City hearing to the public.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew Peck had closed proceedings briefly to figure out whether Muse was a juvenile.

Muse cried in court as the charges against him were read. A day earlier, he'd been all smiles when he arrived in New York.

Let's see, crying involves water and the pirate was probably bored...does that mean his treatment today constitutes torture?
