Sentenced today to 37 years, Jose Sucuzhanay’s murderer Keith Phoenix (on right), who together with Hakim Scott (also sentenced to 37 years) attacked Jose and his brother Romel in December 2008 after thinking they were a gay couple and then laughed about it, went “beyond the comprehension of any civilized person,” according to New York Judge Patricia DiMango.
Phoenix told the court: “I want to offer my deepest, humblest apology for the outcome of that night. I swear to God that is not what I intended to happen.”
One got charged with a hate crime the other got off (the initial assaulter), but they both received hefty sentences. I hope they repent during that 37 years behind bars. One of them said he is not the monster that they say he is, indeed he is, but he will have a choice whether he is still a monster after 37; 37 years that he denied the individual that he killed purposelessly in cold blood. What kind of skewed mindset are these individuals in that they think after murdering someone becuase they don’t agree with their lifestyle does not make them monster in every possible way the term can be expressed: unfortunately a mindset that has prevailed from the birth of our nation to present day.

@timucua: Mojojojo is a troll and a one trick pony whose stale “trick” is to accuse anyone of racism who acknowledges the fact that minority homophobia is widespread, damaging, and fatal. Even within those minority communities.
@L.: They’re not sorry they did what they did. They’re sorry they got caught and will be doing hard time.
Considering he’s not getting the chair, this glorified turkey baster got off easy.
