An Illinois landlord found guilty in a vicious hate crime that left a 6-year-old Palestinian American boy dead and his mother severely injured is due in court for sentencing
Police said Czuba pulled a knife from a holder on a belt and stabbed the boy 26 times, leaving the knife in the child’s body. Some of the bloody crime scene photos were so explicit that the judge agreed to turn television screens showing them away from the audience, which included Wadee’s relatives.
The jury deliberated for 90 minutes before returning a verdict. Czuba is eligible for a minimum prison sentence of 20 to 60 years or life, according to the Will County state’s attorney’s office.
And yet prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Luigi. If only that little boy was the CEO of a billion dollar insurance maybe he’d get more justice
