Anyone outside tri-state area ever heard of Colin Ferguson?

Colin Ferguson, black racist of the the Long Island Rail shootings, denied an insanity plea and instead gave a surreal, disjointed self-defence. He was more than happy to say he hated whites, asians, latinos, and "uncle tom negroes." Press was very reluctant to paint him and his actions as a hate-crime, espec. national press.

His defence amounted to bullying his former victims who were also the prosecution's witnesses. If I'm not mistaken, one of the witnesses stood up to him on the stand. Some say it was very painful for the witnesses.

Verdict was sure, well as sure as any verdict in NY, life behind bars. I did a google search and found that they put ole racist Colin in his personal cell, isolated from the general population because officials fear reprisals.

Yes! I do remember watching some of that on Court TV.

Colin's favorite word was "ascertain."

When he asked one of his victims if the person who shot them was in the court room they looked at him and said, "yes, you shot me."

I only wish they would have hung the racist murderer!

Weird story. Never heard it before.
It's an 'in your face' advantage by the killer. He gets to further his revenge; this time on the victim's family. There is no way I could deal with that.

It was indecent when Muhammad crossexamined one of his victims yesterday.
