John Fox was convicted Friday of robbery and manslaughter as hate
crimes for his role in the death of Michael Sandy. The jury, however,
stopped short of a murder conviction.Fox faces up to 25 years behind bars.
Sandy was hit and killed by a car last October while running away from Fox and several other suspects who were chasing him.
Prosecutors said the men used the Internet to lure Sandy to an
isolated parking lot near Sheepshead Bay with the promise of a sexual
encounter.But when Sandy arrived he was attacked and chased onto the Belt Parkway, where he was struck and killed by a car.
