(USA) - A Brooklyn judge handed down stiff prison terms yesterday for three men convicted of causing the hit-and-run death of a Gay man after luring him to a deserted beach to rob him. Anthony Fortunato, 21, the mastermind of the scheme, was sentenced to 7 to 21 years, while John Fox, 20, who lent his AOL screen name to the plan, was slapped with 13 to 21 years. A third defendant, Ilya Shurov, 21, received 17½ years after pleading guilty to chasing the victim, Michael Sandy, onto the Belt Parkway. All were convicted of second-degree manslaughter as a hate crime. Fox was also convicted of attempted robbery as a hate crime.
