The student Gay slaying carefully planned, Prosecutor tells jurors - Los Angeles Times

A student of Oxnard carefully planned and carried out the execution of a gay schoolmate of 15 years because of his ongoing rivalry with the victim and his white supremacist belief that homosexuality is an abomination, a Ventura County Prosecutor said Tuesday.

Brandon McInerney, now 17, is accused of murder in the death shot 2008 Lawrence King in a matter of prestige that rallied the gay community and triggered calls for greater protection of young homosexuals on the campus of the school.

King was the victim of bullying by McInerney and other boys at the school, Assistant Atty. DIST Maeve Fox said in his opening speech of the trial, which is being conducted at a courthouse in Chatsworth. But shortly before his death, King had begun to wear high heels, makeup and earrings to school and had become more confident in himself, she said.

"Larry King for the first time in his life was not taking it over, Fox said.." And he began to give the people what I prefer to call the proverbial Chin. It is only more secular. The proverbial ' f... you. ""

The day before the King was shot, the two boys had been bickering in the eighth grade science class, she said. When King got get a glass of water, "Brandon says"I'm going to shoot him."" "And this is what a student will be witness to."

The next day McInerney fired handgun of calibre.22 out of his bag back and King shot in the head, authorities said.

Prior to the hearing on Tuesday, the elder brother of McInerney, James Bing, 25, said jurors outside the courtroom that "the fate of my brother is in your hands."

Judge of the Court superior Charles Campbell banned Bing from the courthouse for the duration of the trial, unless it is called to testify.

"It is therefore manifestly inappropriate", said Campbell. "It is prohibited to participate in this procedure, up to what it is actually called for evidence".

Prosecutors added an allegation of hate crime, arguing that McInerney shares were stimulated in part by a hatred of homosexuals, to his presumed neo-Nazi sympathies. If convicted, he faces 53 years to life in prison.

McInerney is tried as an adult court under the provisions of Proposition 21, which allows prosecutors to bring charges of murder against minors aged 14 for certain serious crimes.

[Updated, 12: 30 pm: McInerney lawyer, Scott Wippert, argued that the King - and not his client - were the aggressor.] It was said that King targeted McInerney for sexual harassment, his remarks flirtatious and had humiliated him.

King was encouraged in his behaviour effeminate and held by the directors of the school who said that it was within his rights to dress in this way, said Wippert.

For its part, McInerney was "a confusing, emotionally torn up 14 years of a violent home who saw no other way to shoot Larry," said Wippert. "It was a heat-of-the-moment decision."

"This is a very troubled young man," he said of his client, who lived in a shelter for the children at the time of the shooting due to problems at home. "Everyone knew and no one is nothing." He was in a State of helpless. »

Said Wippert McInerney was not a white supremacists but rather worked on a paper about Adolf Hitler for the school, and this is why it had white supremacist material in his room.

Wippert said that his client is not denying the assassination. But, according to him, that it was homicide voluntary because McInerney was caused by repeated sexual advances of the King.]

Voluntary manslaughter conviction would prevent the perpetuity, making McInerney eligible for release before he is 40, said his lawyers. A conclusion of the second degree murder would virtually ensure that it would not be eligible for parole until he was at the sound of the 1970s.
