X
Adam Purinton, who killed Indian techie Srinivas Kuchibhotla at a Kansas City bar in February last year, pleaded guilty of hate crime. While Srinivas Kuchibhotla and his friend Alok Madasani were at Austins Bar and Grill in Olathe, The US Navy Veteran opened fire upon resorting to racial abuse. While Srinivas died on spot, Alok & an American who confronted the accused suffered injuries.

Acting Associate Attorney General Jesse Panuccio opined Hate Crimes are evil acts and Adam Purinton went on a rampage with premeditation to kill on the basis of religion, race and nationality. He maintained prosecution of Adam Purinton sends a message across the nation that hate crimes won't be tolerated.

Already, Purinton was sentenced to life imprisonment over state murder charge. He is now staring at the possibility of facing life imprisonment without parole. Quantum of punishment will be announced on July 2nd.
