On November 8, 2008 in a Long Island town, Ecuadorian immigrant Marcelo Lucero was fatally stabbed by a group of teenagers cruising the streets “beaner–hopping” (a term used to describe the ritual of attacking Latinos for sport). Jeffery Conroy, a popular high school athlete, is sentenced to 25 years for a hate crime while the others get 5-to-8 years. The local government, press and community agree that the problem is solved and justice has been served. All is well again...or so it seems.
