I reported on this story when it happened. This beat down was totally unnecessary and I’m glad the animal responsible is gonna do time for the crime.
Daily Mail
A woman who confessed to her role in a vicious beating of a transgender woman in a Maryland McDonald's has been sentenced to five years in jail.
Teonna Brown, 19, pleaded guilty last month to first-degree assault and a hate crime and was sentenced in Maryland court on Tuesday.
The April beating at the McDonald's in Rosedale attracted national attention after a video of the attack was posted online. A girl who was 14 at the time of the attack admitted her role in juvenile court and was committed to a detention facility.
State's Attorney Scott Shellenberger says the beating was one of the worst he has seen, especially because surveillance video revealed that over the course of 15 minutes, the attackers left and came back to beat the woman again.

I’m not with the whole transgender thing, but nobody should be beaten up for it. That’s totally unacceptable.
