Jeremy Christian was found guilty of fatally stabbing two people who prosecutors say tried to stop his racist tirade against two young black women.
PORTLAND, Ore. – A man accused of fatally stabbing two people who prosecutors say tried to stop his racist tirade against two young black women on a commuter train was convicted of murder Friday after an emotional trial that featured testimony from both women and the sole survivor of the attack nearly three years ago.
A judge last year dismissed charges of aggravated murder – which carries a potential death sentence – because of a new Oregon law that narrows the definition of aggravated murder. On Facebook, his prolific posts slammed Portland as a place so politically correct that his right to free speech was constantly under assault. Those beliefs were front and center in the courtroom, too, when Christian told the judge on the first day of trial that he would wear his jail-issued blue uniform instead of a suit because to do otherwise would be like lying.
