Samuel Woodward, the man accused of killing his former classmate Blaze Bernstein in an anti-LGBTQ and anti-Jewish hate crime, was found guilty by a jury on Wednesday.
Woodward was found guilty of first-degree murder with special allegations that the killing was motivated by hate and that it was committed using a weapon. The trial, which began in April, came six years after Bernstein was found stabbed to death in Lake Forest.
KTLA's Shelby Nelson reports on July 3, 2024.

@@marisamartin3664 It's only a choice if someone is bisexual. Many gay people try to live as heterosexuals due to societal pressure and eventually come to recognize who they really are. Such people don't fundamentally change, they just reach a point in life where they start being more honest with themselves. If you think it's only a simple choice, consider how easy it would be for you to just change your own sexual orientation.

Do people in the comments really not know what “hate crime” means? Yeah, all murder is hateful, but when done BECAUSE of somebody’s being/what makes them a person, it’s a hate crime. Murder can happen because of jealousy, envy, for-profit, or “just because” AS WELL as due to hate.

What nonsense. Near the end, the district attorney doesn't even know what kind of hate crime the defendant was convicted of. If you can't clearly articulate and conclusively prove either the anti-gay or anti-Jewish motive, you have no case for a hate crime. A crime must be clearly articulated by the prosecutor and definitively decided by the jury. And that's if you believe in hate crimes, which I believe to be absurd.
