A Bronx man was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison for the brutal beating death of his manager at a trendy Manhattan restaurant.
Lerome Hilson, 29, had pleaded guilty to the killing of Timothy Moore, who managed Pop restaurant in the East Village section. He was sentenced Thursday in Manhattan State Supreme Court.
Moore was found dead in a pool of his own blood in the basement of the restaurant last May. He had been bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher.
Hilson was on parole at the time of the killing and had been working at the restaurant under a transitional-living program run by a homeless shelter.
He had been charged with two counts of murder and one count of robbery.
So it is a crime to beat someone to death at a trendy eatery, but not at, say, Denny's?
I think the boss once stated he want to be beaten to death at a trendy eatery.
Judge Greer will save this man.
Will return to comment. Please excuse me, I departing momentarily to take a greer.
If I am reading this article correctly, he will be released to kill again in his mid-40's. It gives a revolving door view of transitional-living programs.
Exactly. The murderer receives another chance.
