Summary
Samuel Woodward, 27, was sentenced to life without parole for the 2018 murder of Blaze Bernstein, a 19-year-old gay, Jewish college student.
Woodward, affiliated with the neo-Nazi Atomwaffen Division, stabbed Bernstein 28 times after the victim kissed him during a meetup arranged via Snapchat.
Prosecutors deemed it a hate crime, citing evidence like anti-gay and antisemitic writings found in Woodward’s home.
Woodward’s defense argued undiagnosed autism and confusion about his sexuality. An appeal is expected.
He learned that he was going to hell since he loved boys’ I guess.
Pretty sure if it was a Catholic home they’d have hit on murder being a bigger sin than liking men. I seem to remember something about doing on to others
