As many of you remember Crissy Lee Polis — the young adult trans woman beaten at a Rosedale, Maryland McDonalds by Teona Marie Brown. Sentence was handed down to Brown — from the Baltimore Sun's In transgender beating a just (and necessary) sentence:

    "The five year prison sentence Baltimore County Circuit Judge John Turnbull II imposed on the 19-year-old who savagely beat a transgender woman in a Rosedale McDonald's was both appropriate to the crime and necessary for the peace of mind of the community. The attack on Crissy Lee Polis by Teona Marie Brown and a girl whose case was handled in juvenile court was vicious and unprovoked. That alone merited a serious response from the criminal justice system...."

It's actually a 10 year sentence with 5 years suspended so even after she serves her mandatory 5 she will still be on the court's radar
