Brothers plead not guilty in NY hate-crime murder

New York City — Two men have pleaded not guilty in the hate-crime killing of an Ecuadorean immigrant on a Brooklyn street. Hakim Scott and Keith Phoenix were arraigned on an indictment that includes second-degree murder as a hate crime. Scott and Phoenix could face 78 years in prison, if convicted of murdering Mr. Sucuzhanay. Unfortunately, Jose Sucuzhanay and his brother were attacked Dec. 7 as they walked arm-in-arm to keep warm. The attackers shouted anti-Hispanic and anti-gay slurs at them before attacking the brothers.
