Blaze Bernstein: Diary Reveals Hate Behind Teen's Murder
Original: Blaze Bernstein: The Diary of Hate Behind A Brilliant Teen's Murder
A documentary account revisits the 2018 killing of Blaze Bernstein, a 19-year-old college student from Orange County, California, who was stabbed to death by former classmate Samuel Lincoln Woodward. Woodward's journal, described as a diary of hate, surfaced connections to a violent neo-Nazi group, suggesting the murder was a hate crime. He was later convicted of first-degree murder with a hate-crime enhancement and sentenced to life in prison. Commenters continue to debate the radicalization behind the attack.
Why now: New coverage of the case and its neo-Nazi diary has renewed public attention to the hate-crime aspects of the killing.
