Brooklyn prosecutors are once again trying to convict Keith Phoenix (pictured, left) of beating Jose Sucuzhanay to death, after believing he and his brother were gay lovers, after last month’s mistrial where one juror refused to deliberate.
Phoenix, who was arrested after a three-month manhunt, and whose trial arrives after Hakim Scott (pictured, right) was convicted of manslaughter last month, got to watch his videotaped confession for the jury, where he says, “So I killed somebody. Does that make me a bad person?” and explains, “First I hit him here [pointing to his chest], and he fell. The guy was trying to get back up and I hit him four times and when he tried to get back up I hit him two times up here [pointing to head].”
Prosecutors are again trying to attach a hate crime charge of Phoenix’s conviction.

um they better be charged w/a hate crime! it’s pretty damn obvious!
and these two are so obviously gay themselves- i mean, the first one looks like he just had his eyebrows waxed and the one on the right looks like he would take more than just a dick up his ass.
sorry for the crudeness but these two make me feel sick.

The juror who refused to deliberate honestly should be hauled in for obstruction. You’ve got a video taped confession, that juror by refusing to deliberate is refusing to do what they agreed to do.

ah, just kill the nasty boogie. I’d like to “hit him four times” when he tries to get up.
