(USA) - A gay teenager who was murdered in part over his sexuality pleaded with his roommate to stop killing him, a prosecutor told jurors in the capital murder case. As Christopher Gaines attacked, Scotty Joe Weaver struggled and begged for his life, Baldwin County District Attorney Judy Newcomb told the court Monday. Newcomb said Weaver and Porter never got along because Porter had problems with Weaver's homosexuality. Porter once called Weaver a derogatory name, Newcomb said. After the killing, Gaines and Porter placed Weaver's body into the trunk of Gaines' car, then stopped at a service station and filled a 3-liter bottle with gasoline.
