Sinister: Freaky Ken Chu (almost) newspaper story!

[Brier Random]

This from today's Los Angeles Times:


DEAF KILLER'S FATE RESTS ON MENTAL HEALTH
Prosecutors and defense disagree whether a Laguna Hills man was sane when he
stabbed neighbor. Judge found racial hatred as motive.

By Mai Tran, Times Staff Writer

The two young men grew up next door to each other. They spent hours playing
video games in each other's living rooms. As they got older, they shared
cigarettes in the driveways and backyards of their Laguna Hills homes.

All of which makes the scene in an Orange County courtroom that much harder
to fathom.One of the young men, Christopher Hearn, 20, has been convicted of
murdering the other, Kenneth Chiu, his then 17-year-old neighbor of more
than a decade. The slaying took place July 30, 2001, shortly after Chiu
returned home from an evening out with friends.
