Plan-B: The Gay Panic Defense

The Gay Panic Defense, has pops-up again.this time in Grand Rapids Michigan. Scott Scarborough 21 hit Victor Manious in the head with a baseball bat and put him in the truck of his car alive. He was found two days later, dead.

Scott and Victor were partying at the local gay bars the night before. Scott who was staying at friends house states he was passed out ( he thinks he was hit in the head but there is no physical proof) when he came to, Victor was performing oral sex on him. Being raised strict- Southern Baptist (his words -not mine ) he panic and hit him in the head with a baseball bat. Then with the help or a friend he placed his alive body in Victor's truck-after he took his cash and credit cards- but he did so in a panic. Scott then high tailed it to Texas where he was arrested by the police.
By the way, Victor was married and big church goer himself.

The sad thing about the Gay Panic Defense is that it works- time and again. All you need is to cloud the issue. Make the killer look like a victim. Demonize the real victim and get a Conservative jury who are shock by gay going ons and then wel-ah. The jury will be shaking his hand and crying about what a poor boy and how he suffered.
Don't believe me?-do a little research.
