McInerney’s New Defense: Brandon Isn’t Anti-Gay, The Judge Is!

Last time we checked in on the Lawrence King trial, Brandon McInerney’s defense team had blamed King for his own murder and said that McInerney couldn’t have possibly committed a hate crime because he doesn’t even own any hateful books—right. The defense team’s latest gambit: claiming that the judge is anti-gay because he referred to King as “queer.” One of McInerney’s lawyers has announced that she is in fact a big ol’ lesbian and said that the judge should recuse himself because anyone who uses the word “queer” has to be anti-lesbian too. Ahhh… that… sorta… makes… no… sense… whatsoever.

Looks like the defense team’s last hope is for a mistrial. S-A-D, sad.
