'''Brandon McInerney''' was convicted of murder of a fellow pupil, Larry King, at a school in California. He shot King in the head twice from short range. It was widely assumed that this was a [[hate crime]] because King, who was bisexual, had been teasing McInerney with homosexual references the previous day <ref>http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2011/11/brandon-mcinerney-school-criticized-by-both-sides-in-gay-teen-slaying-case.html</ref> at a [[public school]] in [[California]]. However, McInerney has never spoken about his crime and is motivation is not known.

'''Brandon McInerney''' was falsely accused of committing a [[hate crime]] in connection with his murder of an older [[gay]] student, after the older student "had been dressing in women's accessories and wearing makeup, and was flirting aggressively with male students on campus who did not want the attention"<ref>http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2011/11/brandon-mcinerney-school-criticized-by-both-sides-in-gay-teen-slaying-case.html</ref> at a [[public school]] in [[California]].  

In McInerney's jury trial, the jury was unable to reach a verdict on the charges, including murder, manslaughter, firearms offences and hate crime<ref>http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video/execution-style-killing-classroom-14669728</ref>. He later pled guilty to second-degree murder and received a prison sentence of 21 years without remission.

In McInerney's much-publicized jury trial, '''''all 12 jurors rejected the politically driven claim of prosecutors that he had committed a hate crime'''''.<ref>http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video/execution-style-killing-classroom-14669728</ref> The jury refused to convict him, and he later pled guilty to reduced charges and a shorter prison sentence.  The [[lamestream media]], however, continued to falsely portray the murder as somehow having been a hate crime, failing to include the view of the jurors.
