Celebrity News – Employee Of Eva Longoria’s Restaurant Brutally Beaten In What Family Calls A Hate Crime
Victor Diego, a 22-year-old employee of Eva Longoria‘s Hollywood restaurant Beso, remains hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles with two fractured ribs, a shattered cheekbone, a broken jaw, and damage to his temple, after a pack of men brutally beat him in an incident his family says police are investigating as a hate crime.
Diego’s sister Virginia told CBSLA that Victor, who is gay and transgendered, had just left work Thursday evening and was dressed up prior to the ambush on Hollywood Blvd.

“Sometimes men try to talk to him and they get humiliated in front of their friends when they realize it’s a man,” she said. “Because he looks really good, he looks like a woman, you couldn’t tell the difference.”
The men jumped Victor from behind, his sister said, adding that the Los Angeles Police Department’s Hollywood Division is moving on with the case as a hate crime.

Sorenson — clarifying that the commentary was his and his only — said that while the Alexander clan is already browbeat following the marathon trial, the penalty phase “will be even harder on them then what they’ve experienced during the past phases of this trial,” encouraging readers to “please keep the family continually in your hearts.”
Here is his full statement posted to the Justice4Travis Facebook page:
“I will make a comment ! These are my words only. this is not from any of the Alexander family. or even from my wife Tanisha. they are all emotionally drained. at the same time they are overwhelmingly grateful ! to the court, to judge Stevens, to the jurors all of them, especially to Juan Martinez, to the Attorney General of Arizona, who they will be meeting with very shortly, to prepare themselves emotionally mentally, for the re trial of the [third] phase, the penalty phases. this will be even harder on them then what they’ve experienced during the past phases of this trial. if ever they needed the world’s love and support of the overwhelming majority that have been there for them. it would be this re trial of the penalty phase. please keep the family continually in your hearts, in your prayer as the fight for justice is not just for Travis alone, but for the past and future victims of the world that the DP can be respected, and upheld when it truly is warranted. let goodness prevail over evil, we love you, and deeply respect the overwhelming support . god bless true victims and justice for Travis Alexander. thank you [Harold] Sorenson.”
As we previously reported, the mistrial announcement came last week after around 13 hours of deliberations, as the jury was unable to determine in unison whether the Jodi should receive life in prison or execution in Alexander’s brutal 2008 death.

A new jury will be selected for the penalty phase, with a retrial date of July 18. Should the second panel deadlock, Judge Sherry Stephens will then hand Arias a sentence of life in prison or 25 years with the eligibility of parole. (The death penalty would not be an option in that scenario.)

Celebrity News – Jodi Arias’ Pal: Murderer ‘Probably Felt Betrayed’ Family Wasn’t Present For Mistrial Announcement
Jodi Arias‘ best friend said the Arias family was “very, very upset” — and the convicted murderer, according to her mother, “probably felt betrayed” — that the clan was not present in the courtroom to hear Judge Sherry Stephens announce a mistrial Thursday.
Donavan Bering — who’s been Jodi’s designated tweeter throughout the circus-like proceedings — said Jodi’s mother Sandy “was beside herself” that court officials didn’t notify her of the announcement in advance, as she heard the news on TV.

“She would never abandon her daughter,” Bering told Arizona NBC affiliate 12 News. “Her mom was mad. She said, ‘I’m very, very upset about this.’ We were told [the announcement] wasn’t gonna be a verdict.
“She was just shocked — there’s two families that have to put their life on hold.”

Bering said the 32-year-old inmate‘s mother “mentioned that Jodi probably felt betrayed” by the timing of the mistrial announcement after around 13 hours of deliberations, as the jury was unable to determine in unison whether the Jodi should receive life in prison or execution in the 2008 death of her boyfriend, Travis Alexander.
Asked if the Arias family will apologize to the Alexander family, Bering said, “I don’t know.”

Bering later appeared on Nancy Grace — who was already irate with the day’s events, saying that “only one person wins today — and that is Jodi Arias.”
When Bering again reiterated the Arias family’s anger at the timing of the announcement, Grace took exception.

“To say that Jodi Arias’ family is upset that they were not there, that is the concern right now?” Grace asked. “This is not curb service down at the Sonic — that’s not what’s going on here — this is a hung jury.”
A new jury will be selected for the penalty phase, with a retrial date of July 18.
