Last week, the teenager involved in the beating of Chrissy Lee Polis, transgender woman, pleaded guilty.
Baltimore Sun states:
Teonna Monae Brown, 19, pleaded guilty in Baltimore County Circuit Court to one count of first-degree assault and one hate crime count in the April attack on Chrissy Lee Polis, 22, which became a rallying point for transgender-rights advocates across the state and nationwide.Sad it had to go down like that
Prosecutors will seek a prison sentence for Brown of 10 years with five years suspended, said Baltimore County State's Attorney Scott Shellenberger. The combined maximum sentence for the crimes is 35 years.

I'm glad Chrissy Lee Polis got some justice. I know you probably wanted a longer sentence but five years is a long time to be in jail for doing such a stupid ass shit like that.
Hopefully that will deter others from doing such a despicable act.
And I hope this incident leads to Maryland passing a law to protect transsexual and transgender people from discrimination. That law is still pending.
I wish it were a longer sentence but judges can only do so much.
The white dude beat up the man on the right?
Lucifer, Chrissy is a woman
