Just another white guy brutally beaten and tortured for sport by good boys.
Two of the five teenagers charged in the brutal beating of a homeless Winston-Salem man in January pleaded guilty to assault and other charges in Forsyth County Superior Court on Monday.
Tremayne Jaquan Butler, 18, was sentenced to 33 months in prison.
Treshawn Jaquez Plater, 17, was sentenced to 39 months. Each will also have nine months of post release supervision.
Both teens pleaded guilty to assault inflicting serious bodily injury, conspiracy to commit the assault and common law robbery as part of a plea bargain with prosecutors. The cases of the other three teens have not yet come before the court for a resolution.
Butler and Plater are brothers. While neither apparently instigated the assault on Bill Bloxham, Judge Andy Cromer told them that their participation in the beating and subsequent robbery of Bloxham demands active prison time to send a message that society won’t tolerate that kind of crime.
“When you get out, (Bloxham) is still going to be blind,” Cromer told the two defendants as they stood in court side by side in handcuffs. “He is still not going to be able to read.”
Assistant District Attorney Jonathan Friel told the court that on the night of the crime,the two brothers and three other teens were on their way back from stealing snacks at a local store when they came across Bloxham, who was under the Glade Street bridge that crosses Peters Creek near Hanes Park.
Friel said that one of the teens, Decorus Roundtree, also charged in the case but not in court Monday afternoon, started the assault, but that all five joined in. A video camera that had been installed by the school system to keep watch over the area captured images of the assault. Two of the teens were not named because they are juveniles.
For about 10 minutes, Friel said, the teens punched and hit Bloxham, who tried to defend himself but was overwhelmed and knocked to the ground, Friel said. The teens pulled off Bloxham’s pants, threw his shoes into the creek, took about $30 from him and “didn’t stop until he was lying on the ground,” Friel said.
The teens moved off, but one decided Bloxham “hadn’t had enough,” Friel said. This teen — said to be one of the two juvenile defendants in the case — went back and began kicking Bloxham in the head as he lay prostrate.
Friel said Bloxham came away from the assault with brain injuries leading to memory loss, near-blindness in one eye and reduced vision in the other. Bloxham had a collapsed lung because of fractured ribs and nearly died of pneumonia, Friel said.
They took his pants.
These are cruel monsters we are dealing with.
Bill Bloxham.
