I saw this on nypost website.it was nice to see that the majority of the comments were supportive.

I commend the Judge for disagreeing with the defense attorney's method of minimizing the value of this young transgendered woman. The audacity of some people!!!! I also commend the author of this story for acknowledging the victim as being a WOMAN. How many times have we read horror stories like these and the author always classifies the m2f transgendered person as a man.

29 years is too lax of a sentence for this dumb ass! RIP! (Rott In Prison!)

And the attorney sinks even lower in this reply

Scarpa has defended his remarks; in an interview with Gothamist, he said he was referring not to Gonzalez-Andujar's being transgender, but her alleged history as a prostitute and drug user. But he also insisted on referring to Gonzalez-Andujar as "he," telling the bilog, "He himself was guilty of attempted murder. I thought it was loathsome for the judge to say this was a good person."

Yeah, the picture is clear, the lawyer and the criminal are both douche bags. lol

I don't agree with him but playing the devils advocate here...he was doing his job!

Defense attorneys are paid to get their clients off the hook...just loom at george Zimmerman attorney's
