Jury Convicts Man of Kidnapping, Battery, But Not of Hate Crime


Associated Press
      FARMINGTON — An 22-year-old man accused of attacking another man for being gay has been convicted of kidnapping and aggravated battery.
    But a state District Court jury has rejected prosecutors' arguments that the attack was a hate crime.
    The jury returned its verdict Tuesday in the trial of Scott Thompson.
    Matthew Shetima testified that he was walking near a Farmington hotel last Sept. 22 when Thompson punched him in the face and dragged him into a motel room.
    Shetima says he called a faggot and was hit and kicked by several men in the motel room.
