Teen is sentenced in “bum stomping”:

“A teenager has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for the beating death of a homeless man in an attack he and his friends called ‘bum stomping.’

Daniel Ennis, 18, who was sentenced Friday, pleaded guilty in May to second-degree murder in the death of Gerald Joseph Holle, a 55-year-old transient living under a bridge.

Prosecutors said the attack was an effort by Ennis and his friends to ‘clean up’ their neighborhood by beating homeless men until they died or left the area.

The deaths were among a series of attacks on homeless men in 2001 in which three were killed and five others were hospitalized.” CNN
