Long Beach teens face hate crime charges

2:41 PM PST, November 22, 2006
Los Angeles County prosecutors today filed hate crimes charges against eight black teenagers accused of beating up three white women on Halloween night in a case that has startled and divided Long Beach.
Authorities said they took the action after concluding that the teens attacked and beat the women in the upscale Bixby Knolls area because they were white.
The case has been the subject of a wrenching public dialogue over the last few weeks in the racially diverse city of 460,000, with civil rights groups like the NAACP condemning the teenagers' alleged actions and the city holding a public forum meant to ease tensions. The attack occurred on a block known for fancy Halloween decorations.
According to police, a mob of mostly girls, ages 12 to 17, allegedly hurled racial insults at the women, threw small pumpkins and lemons at them, and then knocked them to the ground with kicks, punches and swings of a skateboard.
The attack left the women, two 19-year-olds and a 21-year-old bloodied and with broken bones, internal bruises and cuts, before a black passerby stopped his car and pulled their assailants away.
"What could have possibly gone through their mind to make them think this kind of behavior was OK?" asked Long Beach Police Officer Jackie Bezart. The girls, who face felony assault charges, appeared in court today.
Their attorneys said the girls are good students and have no history of violence or criminal behavior. One of the girls won a full athletic scholarship to USC and had represented the United States in a track meet in China, her attorney told the court. He urged the judge to allow the girl out of Juvenile Hall so she could take the SATs.

lol....it's just so such a ZOG classic the way they have to mention a "black" passerby saved the white girls....yea fuckin right.
"He urged the judge to allow the girl out of Juvenile Hall so she could take the SATs."
Wow, we are in danger of losing another black genius. The system is so evil.

I hope these three White girls sue the attackers in civil court as well for violating their civil rights and inflicting physical and mental anguish. Their physical wounds will heal, but the victims of this terrible attack will carry the psychological scars of this for the rest of their lives.
These attackers should be paying financially through the nose for this as long as they're still breathing air on this planet. The non-whites do it all the time, so should Whites when they're victimized by this subhuman behavior.
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Stan Sikorski again.
I am truly amazed that this has been deemed a "hate crime".

I was thinking the same thing. "Look whites, most blacks are really good people".

Only because of intense public pressure.

The attacks occured in an "upscale" neighborhood. That means rich White folks. And that's why the attacks were reported in the media.
The 8 niggers beat the living shit out of those 3 White girls. Obviously, lots of other Whites, including White men just stood around like paralyzed, spot-lighted deer and watched without lifting a finger to intervene.

An unusual order in Long Beach hate trial
After a woman's car is smashed, judge allows witnesses and victims to testify anonymously.
By Joe Mozingo, Times Staff Writer
December 8, 2006
A judge in the Long Beach hate crime trial has issued an unusual order allowing witnesses and victims to testify anonymously and barring defense attorneys from disclosing their names.
Legal experts say the move is extraordinary, though not necessarily unprecedented.
"I've never heard of that," said Loyola Law School professor Laurie Levenson. "To the extent that it's ever happened, I would expect it would have been in a Mafia trial."
[highlight]Judge Gibson Lee issued the order Wednesday during a closed session with attorneys after a key witness for the prosecution, Kiana Alford, learned that her car had been smashed in front of her home while she was in court testifying.[/highlight]
Levenson said witness intimidation is common, particularly in cases involving gangs, drugs, domestic violence and organized crime, but is usually dealt with in other ways. "The ordinary way to address it is to provide [police] protection of the witness," she said. Alford has been coming to court with a police escort.
Lee said the defendants and their lawyers will be advised of the witnesses' names, but ordered to keep them secret. The attorneys said they plan to argue today that the order violates their clients' constitutional right to confront their accusers.
Levenson, however, said the order may be lawful because the defendants will learn their accusers' identities. But the secrecy order raises 1st Amendment concerns, she said.
Ten black juveniles — nine girls and a boy — are charged with beating three white women on Halloween night while shouting derogatory comments about their race. Alford, who is black, spent five days on the witness stand describing the attacks.
[highlight]Police say witnesses saw three or four gang members back their vehicle into Alford's with such force that it was totaled. At the closed hearing, Deputy Dist. Atty. Andrea Bouas blamed the incident on defense attorneys who had elicited a vague description of the car from Alford during her testimony, they said. Bouas has not commented on the case outside of court.
The defense attorneys argued that gang members already knew her car because, as Bouas told the judge, six of them were seen sitting on it in an earlier act of intimidation.
Alford originally testified under the name Jane Doe. When the defense requested that she identify herself in open court, Bouas argued, "The witness has concern about her safety and the safety of her 1-year-old child." Lee granted the defense's request.[/highlight]
But after the car incident, Lee ordered that the names of Alford and other witnesses be withheld in the future.
One of the defense attorneys, Kathleen Moreno, who has been practicing law for 24 years, said she has never had such a ruling. "We've all been involved in much more dangerous cases than this," she said.
The racially charged allegations in the case are continuing to stir emotions.
Prosecutors say that a crowd of up to 30 black youths — gathered on a street of well-to-do residents known for their Halloween festivities — attacked the three victims, ages 21, 19 and 19, because they were white. The women were stomped, punched, struck with a skateboard and beaten to the ground. The 21-year-old suffered multiple fractures to her face, her attorney said.
Talk radio hosts have drummed up a steady stream of outrage over the incident and its aftermath. Many people initially decried what they saw as law enforcement's tepid response to a black-on-white hate crime.
The defendants' families, meanwhile, say their children were not involved in the beatings and have been unfairly swept up in the hysteria. The nine girls and one boy have been held in Juvenile Hall since Halloween, and come to court shackled together.
In a closed hearing Thursday, the lawyers made an unsuccessful plea for the judge to release the minors to their families.
None have gang affiliations or criminal records, the attorneys said, adding that they have strong families who are mortified by the charges. One girl is in state college on a track scholarship, and several others are high school track stars, including a girl who represented the United States at an event in China this summer.
All 10, ages 12 to 17, face three felony counts of assault with intent to cause great bodily harm. Eight face hate crime enhancements.
They were arrested the night of the attack in cars that were seen leaving the scene.
Defense attorneys note that two 15-year-old boys were arrested in the case the following week and will be tried later. One was never held in detention; police declined to comment. The other was released to his family Thursday after prosecutors said they would not be ready to start trial for weeks.
"It's blatantly and patently unfair to treat these 10 kids different than the other two kids," said Deputy Public Defender Stephanie Sauter.
Testimony is expected to continue today. The trial could last several weeks, attorneys said.

The victims - along with throngs of other people - had gone to the 3800 block of Linden Avenue around 9:30 p.m. for a popular Halloween block party. As they walked up to an elaborate haunted house, they said, a group of about a dozen males began taunting them.
“They asked us, `Are you down with it?,’ we had no idea what that meant so we didn’t say anything and just walked by them up to the haunted house,” said Laura, “They were grabbing their crotches - we didn’t know if it was a gang thing or what.”
After making their way through a maze at the house, the three girls said they were back in the same spot where they were confronted and next to the same guys, who again taunted them. Still saying nothing, the three victims tried to walk away but were pelted with lemons and small pumpkins that split the seams on their costumes and left lumps and bruises on their bodies.
The taunts and jeers grew more aggressive, the victims recalled, as did the size of the crowd. Now females joined in, and everyone began saying “We hate white people, f— whites!”
At this point, the girls began to run, but the pack of assailants ran ahead of them and kept them surrounded.
“It was like animals, like a pack of hyenas,” Michelle said.
She was trying to call 911 on her cell phone when the taunts began, but kept getting busy signals. She tried three times to call, she said, but never got through to an operator.
The suspects also began to gradually separate the girls, first by grabbing Laura by her long hair and yanking her backward.
She said she tried to fight off a group of girls who surrounded her and were clawing and hitting her, but then a man came up and slammed her in the head with a skateboard, knocking her unconscious.
“One of the witnesses told the police that he saw my legs go straight up in the air and I hit the ground face first,” she said, accounting for the bumps and bruises on her forehead and around her nose and eyes.
Her friends watched, horrified as the man raised the skateboard over his head and slammed her again as she lay on the ground. Others in the pack also began to hit and kick her motionless body.
Fearing their friend would be killed, the other two girls rushed to her aid.
Saved by a Samaritan
Lauren was the first at Laura’s side, and a group of people immediately jumped on her and began punching her in the face and back of the head simultaneously. Some kicked her in the back of knees, causing her legs to buckle. At one point, when they got her cell phone away from her, Lauren said she knelt down to try and retrieve the phone.
“Once I knelt down, there was too much of a force on top of me to get back up,” she said. “They were pounding on my back, on my head. … They were kicking at the ball that was me.”
Lauren suffered 12 fractures in her face, including four to her eye socket, three to her nose and three to her cheek.
Doctors don’t yet know if she will regain all of her eyesight. Until the swelling goes down, they won’t know if she’ll require surgery to repair the many broken bones.
Forced to drop her college photography classes this semester because she cannot see well enough to use the camera, Lauren also can’t blow her nose or sleep lying down. The pressure, doctors told her, could cause any of the fractured bones to shift, which could lead to her eye becoming detached from the shattered socket.
Michelle said she saw the group drag Lauren down as she rushed up and knocked the man with the skateboard off Laura. But then he then turned on her, punching her in both sides of her face and in the ribs.
Her face, like Lauren’s and Laura’s, is bruised and swollen. The lining that surrounds her lungs is also bruised.
As the man beat on Michelle, Laura regained consciousness and tried to pull him off her friend. But others in the pack immediately began to hammer at her again, she said.
She, like Lauren, suffered a concussion as well as multiple contusions. The lumps and marks on the back of her head and her back show where she was stomped, kicked and punched as she lay on the ground.
In all, the attack lasted about 10 minutes, and it ended only when a Good Samaritan driving by the melee stopped and physically blocked the battered girls bodies while yanking the assailants off the victims.
Maybe because he was also black, or because he was so tall and strong, the group broke up and scattered to several cars and fled, the victims said.
“If it wasn’t for that guy, honestly, I don’t think these two would be here today,” Michelle said.
Shortly after the attack, police arrested 10 juveniles on a charge of felony hate crimes, including counts for assault with a deadly weapon, battery and robbery.
Some of the 10 youths - nine girls and one boy ranging in age from 12 to 17 - were found wearing the victim’s earrings - which were ripped from their flesh - and had Lauren’s cell phone.
