Trial Begins for Anti-Transgendered Hate-Crime Murder
In Colorado, a murder trial has opened that’s believed to be the first-ever hate-crime case for the killing of a transgendered person. Allen Andrade is accused of murdering eighteen-year-old Justin “Angie” Zapata after arranging a meeting online. The case has boosted calls for the inclusion of transgendered people in hate-crimes statutes on the state and federal level. Eleven states and the District of Columbia currently recognize transgendered people in hate crime laws.
