On Thursday, a judge upheld the first-degree murder charge against the man accused in the July 16 bludgeoning death of 18-year-old transgender woman Angie Zapata, née Justin.
Allen Ray Andrade, 31, faces various felony charges in Zapata's death. Public defender Annette Kundelius argued that the murder charge should be reduced to second-degree, saying that Andrade was driven to kill Zapata after she smiled at him, saying "I'm all woman," after he discovered her male genitals.

Justice prevails
i know a public defender, lawyer ect has a job to do for a client but thats in pretty poor taste attempting to put blame on the victim, transgendered or not.
I'd make a bad defender, your guilty deal with it....
