Hawkins smirking in his mug shot after killing his victim. He played the race card in court and was slapped on the wrist with a minor felony conviction and three months in jail.
Gerard Hawkins was slapped on the wrist with a comical three month sentence for killing a 46 year old white man in a Casino. Hawkins claimed the victim was a racist and provoked the attack.
Security video shows that the white victim had both hands in his pocket when Hawkins hit him with a lethal blow.
A former high school football coach and teacher from Florida was sentenced to three months in jail and ordered to pay a $5,000 fine Thursday after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the one-punch death of a Utah man at a Las Vegas casino.
Defense attorney Jack Buchanan said he didn’t believe a punitive stint in the Clark County Detention Center was appropriate for his client, 39-year-old Benjamin Gerard Hawkins of Gainesville. Hawkins has remained free following his November conviction in the death of 46-year-old John Massie, of Roy, an occupational safety and health worker at Hill Air Force Base in Utah.
