The defense didn't call any witnesses and didn't present any evidence. Blackwell, who remained stoic throughout the trial, did not take the stand. He showed no reaction when the verdict was read.
That's one hell of a lawyer he had there.

Yep, don't wanna go back to those old fashioned days when it was perfectly acceptable to go around throwing boiling water on other folks just cus they were different.

Meanwhile, those dudes infected each other with AIDS and no one says a word.

Hate crime legislation is stupid. It doesn't matter why he poured boiling water on them. The crime is the crime. Beyond mens rea we shouldn't inquire to the other recesses of thought, because we should have the right to entertain hateful thoughts.
Otherwise, we're not free at all.

Sounds like a terrible person. I'm sure he's holding his bible tight, assuming he's in good with the lord though.

This guy at some point will hear the words "Get in my cell with all this gay!"

My first reaction is to think that 40 years is too much. But as I think more about it, 40 years sounds about right. You just can't go around pouring boiling water on people. Everybody knows the agony that boiling water can cause, both immediately and for long periods thereafter. This guy is demented. And I come to this conclusion having never considered the nature of the victims' sexual orientation.

40 years for that?

Well I wouldn't have thrown scalding water on them. I might have said get your queer-Sodomite asses the frick out.
Of course that would probably get him the death penalty.

I gotta say, I got a hardy laugh out of this. I can picture an old black man saying "get out of my house with all that gay."
