White supremacist gets 31 years for attacking black fisherman
White supremacist Calvin Lockner, whose nickname is "Hitler," was sentenced this morning to 31 years in prison for attacking a 77-year-old black fisherman at a city park. For more details, read court reporter's Tricia Bishop's story.
The 29-year-old Lockner, a convicted sex offender, did not speak at the hearing but his public defender read a statement into the record in which his client apologized.
The victim, James Privott, described the attack. Bishop reports:
"Standing four feet from his attacker, James Privott, 77, outlined the effects of the August 2009 battering, which left him with a fractured eye socket, missing teeth and expensive doctor bills.
"'The situation put my wife and I and my family in a stressful, stressful'" position, Privott said. "'My wife basically had to take over for me
For three weeks I couldn't see.'"

You may want to move that quotation mark beyond "position" in the last paragraph of this article. Do any companies have proofreaders these days? I hate to sound rude but there are far too many published articles with mistakes like this.
