(Jewish Group) Blaze Bernstein was killed because he was gay, prosecutors say
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)A Jewish man was murdered because he was gay, prosecutors have said.
Blaze Bernstein, 19, disappeared in January and was found a week later buried in shallow grave in a park near his parents' home in Lake Forest, California.
On Thursday, Samuel Woodward, one of Mr Berinstein's classmates who is suspected of murdering him, had his murder charge amended to reflect the hate crime aspect of the alleged killing.
Mr Woodward denies the charge. His next hearing is due to take place on August 22.

Interestingly, nothing is said as to whether this crime was also motivated by anti-Semitism, especially given the alleged membership the accused has in a neo-Nazi group. Of course, some are spinning their wheels, as usual, in pondering whether the killer was "secretly a gay" too.
