How would a Russian say, "I feel sorry for you," in a derisive context?

This phrase is often used when commenting to somebody who has behaved in a deplorable manner.  

I do not mean, "I feel sorry for you" in the context of, for instance, your grandmother just died.

I'm wondering if it would be, Мне жаль тебя.
