Brandon McInerney
Brandon McInerney is a 17 year old who has plead guilty to to second degree murder, voluntary manslaughter and use of a gun and has been sentenced to 21 years for the shooting of Lawrence "Larry" Fobes King. At his trial, he was was accused of committing a hate crime in connection with his murder of the 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"[1] at a public school in California.
In McInerney's much-publicized jury trial, all 12 jurors rejected the politically driven claim of prosecutors that he had committed a hate crime.[2] The trial resulted in a hung jurty, and he later pled guilty to the 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.
After the trial and after McInerney agreed to a plea bargain, the mother of the victim:[1]
