While Americans were
celebrating the Fourth of July in 2009, someone in Albuquerque accosted a transgender
Native American. Cato “Terri”
Benally was beaten to death. She was found in a park with severe head injuries. Police have believed, based on specific evidence,
that Benally was the victim of a hate crime.
A year ago, police arrested this man (photo credit, APD). On Monday,
a grand jury indicted Roger Paul Preston on charges of first-degree murder with
a hate crimes enhancement. Preston faces a trial.
