There were radio spots and now the story has apparently been killed, stating that the Ventura County Deputy District Attorney has been challenged to prove what he and the media are apparently attempting to establish as an article of the faith, is that "White supremacist ideaology necessarily includes that homosexuality is an abomination which motivated the alleged premeditated murderer. That ought to be a tall order however, due not only to dysgenic breeding but government (public) school "education," entirely too many jurors have, with a tip of the hat to Tennessee Ernie Ford, "a mind that's weak."

Calif.teen faces trial in gay classmate killing

By GREG RISLING- Associated Press

LOS ANGELES A Southern California teen driven by white supremacist beliefs executed a gay classmate at a junior high school with two gunshots to the back of his head, a prosecutor told jurors Tuesday in her opening trial statement.

Ventura County Deputy District Attorney Maeve Fox said defendant Brandon McInerney acted on the white supremacist philosophy that homosexuality is an abomination.

However, defense attorney Scott Wippert countered that McInerney had reached an emotional breaking point over unwanted sexual advances by 15-year-old victim Larry King and should be convicted of voluntary manslaughter.

"He did this out of heat of passion," Wippert said. "These were two troubled young men and this was a tragedy."

McInerney is being tried as an adult for the February 2008 slaying in Oxnard.

Fox told the nine-woman, three-man jury that McInerney smuggled a .22-caliber handgun into the school and sat behind King, who was at a computer station.

McInerney shot King once then stood up and made eye contact with others in the classroom before firing another round with the gun only inches from the victim's head, Fox said. The defendant dropped the gun and walked from the room, she said.

"The evidence in this case will prove to you that this killing was an execution," Fox said.
McInerney, who was 14 at the time of the shooting, pleaded not guilty to murder, lying in wait and a hate crime. He could face up to life in prison if convicted.

The case was moved to Los Angeles County for trial after many delays.

King's death has roiled gay-rights advocates and parents in Oxnard, a city about 60 miles northwest of Los Angeles. They wondered why officials at E.O Green Junior High School hadn't done more to stop the harassment of King by students, including McInerney.

King's family sued the school district, among two dozen defendants, for failing to protect the teen.
Fox told jurors there won't be any evidence during trial about King's sexual orientation, although in the weeks leading to the shooting the teen wore makeup and high-heeled boots, and told a teacher he wanted to change his name to Leticia.

Jurors will hear from students who will testify about the rocky relationship between the two boys. Among them, Fox said, will be one of McInerney's friends, who said he heard King tell the defendant, "'I love you, baby'" the day before the shooting.

McInerney made several references that same day that he was going to bring a gun to school and shoot King or was going to hurt him, Fox added.

"Say goodbye to your friend Larry because you won't see him after tomorrow," Fox said of expected testimony from one of King's friends.

Wippert said King was the aggressor by making the sexual advances toward McInerney and other boys.

McInerney, dressed in a blue striped shirt and tan pants, sat in court and remained expressionless as both attorneys spoke to jurors. He was lean and tall and sported a full head of chestnut brown hair - far different from his mugshot taken after his arrest that showed him with a nearly shaved head.

Police found Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf" in McInerney's backpack the day of the shooting as well as a wealth of Nazi-inspired drawings and artifacts at the family house, she said.

Fox said jurors should pay close attention to one of McInerney's drawings, an eyeball with a swastika emblazoned on the pupil. She said one investigator had seen that image only one other place - in a picture of a wolf symbolizing a lone wolf ideology by Tom Metzger, leader of the White Aryan Resistance.

"It will answer for you the question why," Fox said of the drawing.

Wippert contended King had sexually harassed other boys, dating back to the fifth grade, where he had been suspended for such behavior. He said King was empowered to make unwanted advances because school administrators were willing to look the other way and accommodate him and the way he dressed.

"Everyone knew about it and no one did anything," Wippert said.

The lawyer said both teens came from broken homes.

Before jurors were led into the courtroom, Ventura Superior Court Judge Charles Campbell booted McInerney's brother from the rest of the trial after he purportedly told jurors, "The fate of my brother is in your hands," Campbell said.

Wippert said the brother made the statement in the presence of jurors and the young man acknowledged he made a mistake.

Slain gay student pushed limits, witness says

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - A former Ventura County school official says a gay student who was shot and killed in 2008 said sexually inappropriate things to other students in the weeks before the shooting.

Joy Epstein, the former vice president of E. O. Green School, testified Monday that 15-year-old Larry King pushed boundaries by wearing women's high-heeled boots and makeup.

Epstein said she warned King that dressing differently could make things hard on him but she and other teachers didn't discourage him because it wasn't outside the school's dress code.

Brandon McInerney, now 17, is accused of killing King in a computer lab.

Jurors were expected to hear from students who will testify about the rocky relationship between the two boys. Among them, they will hear from one friend who said he heard King tell the defendant, "'I love you, baby"' the day before the shooting, Fox said.

Another friend is expected to testify that McInerney said, "Say goodbye to your friend Larry because you won't see him after tomorrow."

White supremacist materials were found in McInerney's bedroom, including books and drawings of swastikas. McInerney didn't attend a school field trip to the Museum of Tolerance, the educational arm of the human rights organization the Simon Wiesenthal Center, court records showed.

McInerney, who was 14 at the time of the shooting, has pleaded not guilty to murder, lying in wait and a hate crime.

On the other side, defense attorney Scott Wippert said his client reached an emotional breaking point when he shot King and should be convicted of voluntary manslaughter. Both teens came from broken homes, but King was the aggressor by making unwanted sexual advances to McInerney and other boys, Wippert said.

"He did this out of heat of passion," Wippert said of McInerney. "These were two troubled young men and this was a tragedy."

McInerney came from an abusive household where his father, William McInerney, was sentenced for battery against his mother in 2000. William McInerney also was accused of shooting her in the elbow several months before his son was born.

He died in March 2009 of blunt-force head trauma at his home. The coroner ruled his death was accidental.

Larry also had a rough upbringing. He lived at a center for abused and neglected children in the months before his death.

Gay-rights advocates and parents in Oxnard, a city about 60 miles northwest of Los Angeles, wondered why school officials hadn't done more to stop the harassment toward Larry by students, including McInerney.

Larry's family sued the school district, among two dozen defendants, for failing to protect the teen. [Never mind that they sent the cross-dressed Larry to public school in California.]
