NYC Subway Push Suspect Charged with Hate Crime
A New York woman has been charged with second degree murder as a hate
crime for allegedly pushing a man in front of a subway train.
Police say the surveillance video they released helped find Erika Menendez.
The Queens District Attorney says Menendez implicated herself in Thursday's crime.
He
says she told officers she quote: "pushed a Muslim off the train tracks
because I hate Hindus and Muslims ever since 2001 when they put down
the twin towers."
Witnesses to the death say they saw a woman pacing
the elevated platform and muttering to herself just before she pushed
her victim.
This was the second time this month someone was shoved to their death in front of an approaching train.

Court upholds El Reno man's murder conviction
May 21, 2013 13:38 GMT
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals has upheld the first-degree murder conviction and life without parole sentence of an El Reno man.
The court on Monday rejected several appeals by Thomas Twobabies -- including that he was not allowed to present a complete defense. Twobabies argued that prosecutors prejudiced him when they did not introduce at trial the statements Twobabies made to police in which he claimed self-defense and voluntary intoxication.
The court ruled that Twobabies had the opportunity to testify and present his defense and he chose not to do so.
The 29-year-old Twobabies was convicted in January 2012 of the December 2010 stabbing death of Neihhi Hamilton in El Reno.
