Samuel Lincoln Woodward faces life in prison without the possibility of parole for fatally stabbing 19-year-old Blaze Bernstein six years ago.

Samuel Woodward, then 21, was driven by 'pure hate and rage' over his victim's sexual orientation and religious beliefs, the judge says.

A California man convicted of stabbing to death a gay University of Pennsylvania student in an act of hate was sentenced Friday to life in prison without parole.
