The former Virginia Tech football player accused of beating a Tinder date to death after mistaking him for a woman was acquitted of second-degree murder Friday.
Isimemen Etute, 19, was found not guilty in the 2021 death of Jerry Smith, 40, after his lawyer argued he acted in self-defense.
A Christiansburg, Virginia, jury deliberated for three hours before handing down the verdict, according to The Roanoke Times.
Etute had said he visited Smith last April to engage in oral sex, after matching with someone named “Angie” on Tinder. The next month, he returned to the victim’s apartment to verify his gender.
The linebacker then groped Smith before allegedly beating him to death, a detective testified.
Etute took the stand in his own defense earlier this week and said he felt “violated” that his date lied about his gender. The defendant said Smith had insisted they meet in the dark and had reached for what he thought was a gun.
Etute testified he punched Smith five times and kicked him to escape the apartment.
Police said Smith did not have a gun, but detectives found a knife under his mattress. Defense attorney Jimmy Turk argued that Etute acted in self-defense, and his fear and the victim’s weapon were not considered by police.
Prosecutor Patrick Jensen argued that Smith was in no position to get his knife, and said the 153-pound man was no physical match for the “elite college athlete” who was listed as 6-foot-3, 205 pounds.
“That’s a big disparity,” Jensen said.

One thing they don't tell gender-confused youths is that almost no one wants a sexual relationship with a mutilated tranny. Trannies who lie about themselves, as the victim in this article did, are playing with fire.
I guess when the football player touched the ball he was pissed. But you can spot a tyranny a mile off.
Not in the dark as stated in the article
Returning to confront, grope and pummel a month later is pretty much the definition of protesting too much.
i’m glad the kid was acquitted- “angie” misrepresented “herself”
I don’t think the kid intended to murder him. He just punched him a few times and left.
The wokeratti while whine about this but I’ll say when trannies take advantage of a guy like this, that is a very dangerous thing to do. Some guys will explode.
Murder is a bit far but I can see how he got there. I have no sympathy for those who misrepresent their factual sex.
Comme exemple pour les autres.
If this were a white defendant, it would not be shocking if the Biden Regime prosecuted on Federal charges after the acquittal.
How many children have been saved from molestation?
Where are the federal hate crime charges?
Reverse the races of the perps here - white hetero beats black tans to death = feds would step in.
Maybe, just maybe, engaging in anonymous sex with strangers includes some dangers. Who knew?
Her Adam’s apple added just the right touch to her felatio abilities
There was no murder. He was acquitted. It was self-defense.
It were self-defence yer Honor. When I found out she had a grip like a blacksmith I was afeared for my life
Nothing to do with being "woke"
I bet the DA purposefully overcharged the perp to get just this result.
Etute just got away with manslaughter, if not murder.
BTW, anyone seen any pics of the vic in any reportage?
In the 80s I worked the night shift at a convenience store in a bad part of town and there was a tranny customer that came in with a different drunk guy victim every night. The victims were clueless.
Eventually the tranny teamed up with some thugs who would show up in the middle of the act pretending to be cops busting their side of the road behavior who then robbed the victim of their cash as well as their heterosexuality.
Jerry Paul Smith, have not seen any other picture.
another case of Black Privilege, they are allowed to attack anyone they want and get away with it.
