Man gets more prison time in transgender slaying
DENVER (AP) — A man convicted last month of murder and a hate crime in the slaying of a transgender Colorado woman has received another 60 years in prison after being found a “habitual criminal.”
Allen Andrade of Thornton was convicted of beating 18-year-old Angie Zapata to death with a fire extinguisher July 17 after discovering she was biologically male.
A judge sentenced him to life in prison without parole for first-degree murder after the jury’s April 22 verdict.
Weld County District Judge Marcelo Kopcow on Friday sentenced Andrade for his remaining three charges: bias-motivated crime, aggravated motor-vehicle theft and identity theft.
Kopcow determined the prosecution proved Andrade was a habitual criminal. The designation requires a sentence of four times the maximum for each conviction.
