Sad, but a verdict

Justice is served. As Miss B noted in one of her earlier posts, examples need to be made out of these types of people; you can't get away scott-free with murdering someone because of their gender. Hopefully this will be a stepping stone in the prosecution of people who act out in violence against transsexuals.

I agree TheAngryPostman, and I'm disgusted by what happened, but your right justice has been served.

At least a life sentence for this scum in the US means life, not as in my country, where the mandatory 'life' for this crime might mean a 15 year non parole period. Poor Angie.

"justice" would be Angie reuniting with her family. So justice cannot be served.
This is, however, a monumental case. Over the past 37 years and over 1000 trans* women in the US alone murdered. This is the first time there has been a conviction for 1st degree murder. This is the first time that the "Trans Panic"* defense has failed. * The use of the "understandable" shock/horror/revulsion upon discovery of the trans status of an intimate/potentially intimate partner to mitigate and justify murder.

Yep. At the end of the day, a murdering piece of shit is a murdering piece of shit. |
