Adult and Two Teens Plead Innocent to Hate Crime
Although 28-year-old Calvin Lockner confessed to police that an assault against an elderly black fisherman would not have occurred if the man had been white, he and his two teen accomplices entered not guilty pleas in a Baltimore court on Monday.
The beating occurred when Lockner, accompanied by 17-year-old Zachary Watson and 16-year-old Emmanuel Miller saw 76-year-old James Privott fishing near a waterfront park in south Baltimore. Lockner, who is nicknamed “Hitler” and sports a tattoo of his namesake, and the two teens, attacked the man without provocation.
Calvin Lockner, a legal adult, will be tried as an adult while the lawyers for the 16 and 17 year old defendants are seeking to have the case moved to juvenile court. Trial dates for all three is set for December 11.
