Colo. man convicted of murdering transgender woman
Quote:
Allen Andrade, 32, of Thornton, was sentenced to life in prison without parole* after being convicted of killing Angie Zapata, 18. The jury deliberated for just two hours before finding Andrade guilty...
...Prosecutors had argued Andrade knew for hours that Zapata was biologically male and beat her to death because he disliked gays. They said Andrade had attended a court hearing with Zapata where court officials used her legal name, Justin...
...During the trial, prosecutors played recorded jail conversations where Andrade referred to Zapata as "it" and said it wasn't as if he "killed a straight, law-abiding citizen."

*Methinks the fucker is in need of a lethal injection. But at least he didn't get away with it. If it was up to me, "gay panic" would be no defense.
