Erika Menendez was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty to manslaughter for killing Sunando Sen in December 2012 in Queens.
The 33-year-old Queens woman pushed Sen off a No. 7 train platform. An oncoming train crushed him.
Menendez told police she did it because she has hated Muslims and Hindus since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
Queens District Attorney Richard Brown called the killing “every subway commuter’s worst nightmare.”
American justice- Rubashkin gets 27, a murderer gets less.
I cannot feel any sympathy for her. She took the life of someone she didn’t even know or have any knowledge of what he thought. May his family find peace.
24 years, she will be out in 7 to do it again. Lo Aleynu
This is typical justice in NYC; in Texas, she would have received 60 years, without parole!
If you really hated a group of people, maybe do a little research. Hindus and Muslims (India/ Pakistan) are each other’s enemies so what ever happened to my enemy’s enemy is my friend?
