A transgender killer smirked at her victim's relatives and refused to apologize because her gender identity made her 'vulnerable', as she was sentenced to 22 years behind bars.
Moses Jacob Lopez, 30, brutally stabbed cab driver Reese McDowell Lawhon to death in his car in April 2023 with bladed brass knuckles after suffering a mental health episode while on a night out partying in Portland.
Lawhon had picked her up after a 911 operator suggested she call a cab home. Lopez senselessly stabbed him in the chest without provocation.
At her sentencing on Wednesday, Lopez callously justified the murder by blaming a lack of mental health support and a system she saw as failing her.
'I refuse to apologize for the lack of help I so desperately needed and called and asked for from 911 services,' Lopez said, reports The Oregonian.
She also moaned that her gender identity meant that she felt 'targeted,' and vulnerable to attack the paper reported.
On the night of Lawhon killing, Lopez had been out partying in downtown Portland, but suffered a mental health breakdown and called 911 for a ride home.
The 911 operator instead suggested she call a cab and pay for a ride home.
After calling Radio Cab, static on the taxi dispatcher's line led them to enter the wrong address.
'I ended up in a very scary part of town where I was genuinely afraid,' Lopez said at her sentencing, claiming her gender identity leaves her often feeling targeted.
Surveillance footage from inside the cab showed the trip was almost entirely silent, until Lawhon realized the mistake and tried to turn around under a highway overpass.
At that moment, Lopez lunged forward and stabbed Lawhon in the neck 'completely out of the blue', detectives said.

Couldn’t the news media at least put female pronouns in quotation marks when they are talking about a biological male
"When Moses gets out in 20 years.."
More like 2 years.
Cult-captured media pats itself on the back for calling men “she”.
"My God, is a vengeful God."
And then when the end comes as it surely will for this murderer, he will have had the anguish of waiting, of wondering 'was this person sent', inflicting not just a greater, not-sudden suffering, but with the eternal damnation waiting for him to close his eyes.
Note?
That presents a problem most people would not have the expertise or the persistence to overcome. Plus big risk of hurting innocents dealing with something like that. I suppose they could bribe another inmate to act on their behalf
It’s time to do what mooselimbs do and start tossing these perverts off tall buildings.
I agree.
Why do we put up with this crap?
Last time I was in a courtroom was for jury duty. A relatively minor case. There were metal detectors shoved over to the side of the entry door. The defendant was (rightly) acquitted. The case really shouldn’t have been brought. Anyway, he killed a woman a couple of months later. Just your basic sloping-forehead tweeker/ commercial fisherman.
I think the simple passing of a couple of years may see this psycho die by “natural causes.” Natural, if you’re a psycho in the general prison population.
I misread. thought one of those soros DAs had pled down to jaywalking or something.
Isn’t that piano wire?
Yes, it is. No specific note marked on the spool.
Now, I see what you did there...
Standing before God will wipe that smirk right off his (presumably) face.

or truck bumper...
I’d use something like a middle C. Otherwise it’s going to slice right through the perp’s neck and cut his head off.
That’ll certainly work just fine.
That might be F wire, but beheading is OK, too.
