Yeah, you all know the story. Would you classify this as a hate crime? It wasn't prosecuted as such. People say that the murder was committed based on humiliation, not due to the victim being gay. However, it should be noted that the victim and a perpetrator reportedly had a fling once they were home, then the guy murdered him. So is it really a hate crime? I mean, isn't this gay panic? Do all gay panic murders = hate crime? The guy obviously had issues with anyone thinking that he was gay. What say you?
Did Michigan have a hate crimes law in 1995? There wouldn't be a federal version for almost fifteen years.

Should it be classified as one though?

Not a hate crime. Just a crime of being exposed.

The smug way Jones responded on the stand was a textbook example of how not to act while being deposed.
I didn't think she should have been held responsible but the trial made me know she's a total cunt. Glad she's retreated to her cooking on YouTube.

He should have been executed. No one went on JJ back then expecting to get a surprise visit from Aunt Bea.

If you saw the entire episode, the Scott sequence was actually the least cringeworthy. The other "secret crushes" were much more embarrassing.
