Oh well I guess it's okay then. Carry on, no injustice here. Maybe if we're lucky she'll get raped and killed in the mens' prison she's sent to.
Bigotry is obviously terrible, but I don't think it justifies taking another human's life.
More on the story:
As the jury was being seated in her trial, CeCe McDonald pleaded guilty Wednesday to second-degree manslaughter in the stabbing death of a man during a scuffle outside a Minneapolis bar last June.
McDonald is expected to be sentenced June 4 to three years and five months in prison, according to Chuck Laszewski, spokesman for the Hennepin County Attorney's Office,
McDonald, 23, was walking with a group of friends past the Schooner Tavern about 12:30 a.m. June 5 when words were exchanged between the group and Dean Schmitz, 41, and other bar patrons who were outside smoking, according to court documents filed at the time.
A fight ensued, and a woman allegedly threw a glass and cut McDonald's face. According to witnesses, Schmitz pulled McDonald out of the melee and said "You stabbed me." McDonald allegedly replied "Yes, I did" and walked away.
Schmitz died at the scene from a stab wound to the chest.
In a videotaped interview with police after the fight, McDonald allegedly admitted that she took out a pair of scissors to scare Schmitz, and that Schmitz ran into them during the fight. McDonald later denied stabbing Schmitz and filed the self-defense claim Monday.
At the time of the stabbing, McDonald was in the process of making the transition from a man to a woman.
Jury selection in the case began Monday. Opening arguments were set to begin early Wednesday afternoon.
