quote:

A jury found former Virginia Tech football player Isimemen Etute, 19, not guilty in the killing of Jerry Smith, a 40-year-old gay man who presented himself as a 21-year-old physician named Angie Renee on Tinder.

Etute and Smith linked up last year on hook-up app Tinder. Smith reportedly performed oral sex on Etute, then 18 years old, during their first meetup. Suspicious he was misled by Smith, Etute met back up a second time to try to find out Smith’s sex. After identifying Smith was indeed male, Etute repeatedly struck him in what would be a fatal beating.

First of all. Dude had to know it was a man. He even admitted suspicion. He mad he gayed.

Secondly, we’re it a honky he would be charged with a hate crime and given a harsher sentence.

Jokes aside, how does one get acquitted for beating another person to death? Was this self defense? No? Just extreme embarrassment?

Tough. Don't be such a dumbass when trying to engage in risky social activity.

How in the world did this guy get off? (lol)


This sounds closer to first degree murder in my uneducated opinion

The article states that he thought Smith was reaching for a gun. I don't know if he really thought that but that was part of the defense argument

Etute said he was acting in self-defense when he beat Smith, claiming he thought Smith was reaching for a gun after the man’s true gender was revealed.
Always convenient when the other witness is deceased.

Jury nullification perhaps ?

Perhaps the defense didn’t ask for a lesser included offense of manslaughter to be included, and the jury didn’t think the facts justified a murder conviction ?

Play stupid games…

And this applies equally both ways.

Here is an image of the victim:


Medical examiner rules cause of death in Blacksburg homicide as ‘blunt force injuries to the head’



I find it hard to believe that any amount of makeup, wigs or prosthetics could make this 40 year old male look like a 21 year old female.

His defense should have been that Smith had disrespected him.

If the defendant had no melanin he would be serving at least a life sentence. Hell, this was damn near premeditated murder.

Black privilege?



In all seriousness, perhaps the jury thought the state overcharged in going for 2nd degree murder? In any event, this seems to be a severe miscarriage of justice.
