I don't know the truth. But once drugs--especially meth--get involved, the fact that this murder was brutal is not proof of anything in particular. Remember the Rick James incident. He and his girlfriend tied up a girl and burned her repeatedly with cigarettes because they thought she stole some cocaine. Hate crime because of its brutality? Nope, just some dopers being dopers.

None of this is to say that the two perps shouldn't have gone down hard for what they did. They should. But lots of weird, violent, nasty stuff goes down on the street for no reason other than that the perps and the victims are drug users.

Anyone who commits such a horrific crime should be punished...and this is a life in prison crime (IMO).
