Plan B: worked like a charm

Steven Scarborough received a sentence of a 15 Max instead of felony life in prison for the beating death of Victor Manious. Late in the trial, Steven, who changed the story of the beating several times added Gay Panic to his story.
Mr. Manious suddenly went from victim to stalker , Predator and all around pervert. Mr. Scarborough went from low life running away from a felony charge to Southern Baptist Poster Child- an innocent child in a very dirty world.

Victor's family is scrambles trying to connect the dots between the person they knew and Down-Lower they are hearing about on the witness stand. Their suffering and confusion was the headline in the Grand Rapids Press (April 10.2008)- maybe it time a name is do to Grand Rapids Enquirer. Interesting enough the use of gay defense on April 8. was hidden inside the paper.
Mr. Scarborough is now going to felony charges in Tennessee, that may add another 20 years to his sentence. I'm trying not to think about him getting more time for stealing then a murder.
My guess Steven will have a easy adjustment in prison where he won't experience any "Gay Panic".
My only solace in this whole messy, dirty trial is everyone is upset by it, Conservative and liberals.
Thanks Pam from Pam's House Blend , for writing about it on her blog.
