Murder in Greeley: Public Defender says Angie Zapata guilty of "provoking" her own death


"At best, this is a case about passion. When (Angie Zapata) smiled at him, this was a highly provoking act, and it would cause someone to have an aggressive reaction," the Denver Post quoted defense attorney Annette Kundelius as saying at a preliminary hearing for Allan Andrade.

Andrade is accused of brutally murdering Angie Zapata upon finding out after sex that she was transgendered.

Wow. I'm almost speechless.

Kundelius actually said, "At best, this is a case about passion."

At best?

I don't think so.

Angie was a human being whose life was cut short for no good reason.

This is not a case about passion.

This is a case about murder, and some pathetic trans-panic defense is just not gonna cut it this time.

Shame on Annette Kundelius.
