Allen Ray Andrade found guilty of the murder of Angie Zapata


 

Allen Ray Andrade's 'trans panic' defense couldn't sway the jury in the Angie Zapata murder case and he was found guilty in today's verdict.

HRC President Joe Solmonese issued a statement on the verdict that said, in part, "The murder of Angie Zapata, just 18-years-old, is a tragic reminder of the hate and ignorance that threatens the transgender community every day."

According to Pam's House Blend, Andrade will be sentenced to life without parole.
