The Michael Sandy murder trial came to n unspectacular end yesterday.
The last accused killer, Ilya Shurov, copped a guilty plea over 2006's fatal attack on Sandy, who set out that fateful night looking for a hook-up.
Via NY Times:
The defendant, Ilya Shurov, 21, agreed to serve 17 1/2 years in prison. In exchange, prosecutors dropped charges of felony murder as a hate crime, which could have meant a life sentence.“If there was no life sentence,†said a defense lawyer, Hermann P. Walz, “we would have rolled the dice.â€
Hopefully Sandy's parents can rest easy at night knowing their son's killers are sleeping unsoundly in prison.

Hello, HRC? I'm calling about Michael Sandy. Y'know, his life seems pretty worthless, and I was wondering where you've been… what's that? In Jena? Yes, the Jena-6, but nobody was actually murdered there, but… put me on hold? Yes, I'll hold. (-appear, every time you are near, just like me, they long to be, close to you… On the day that you were born, the angels got together, and decided to create a dream come true, so they sprinkled gold dust in your-) Okay, I give up. -click-
