A California man convicted of a hate crime in the killing of a gay University of Pennsylvania student is expected to be sentenced to life in prison. Samuel Woodward, now 27, was found guilty of stabbing Blaze Bernstein to death nearly seven years ago. The jury's verdict carries a life sentence without parole. Woodward's defense attorney plans to appeal the verdict. The case took years to go to trial and stoked public outcry in Southern California.
