This week alone, a mob at the University of West Indies campus in JAMAICA chased down and hurled rocks at a man perceived to be gay -- police believe only their intervention saved his life. A senior news producer for the U.S. CBS-TV network and a colleague were beaten this week with a wheel wrench or metal pipe on the Caribbean island of ST. MAARTEN by 4 men and 2 women who reportedly called themselves "gay bashers." And the men most responsible for last year's brutal beating of two gay men in SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO got what amounted to a preliminary slap-on-the-wrist this week from a state district judge. As JIM WILLIAMS of KUNM-FM reports, while New Mexico passed a hate crimes statute in 2003, some of the young men involved in the attack may not see any real prison time at all (includes courtroom comments by the most viciously attacked victim JAMES MAESTAS and his mother GERRIE; victim Joshua STOCKHAM’s mother CHERYL; one of the defendants, DAVID TRINIDAD; CARLA C de BACA, a neighbor of another defendant; and post-hearing analysis by ANN BADWAY, co-counsel for the New Mexico Attorney General’s office, which helped prosecute the case) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7:50 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by transsexual New Zealand M.P. GEORGINA BEYER [:10] + Last time on "This Way Out" we began the story of early 20th century gay humanitarian and controversial Irish patriot SIR ROGER CASEMENT. The first part of the dramatized biography by producer HUGH YOUNG and narrator BARRY EMPSON described Casement's roots in both Irish Catholic and Protestant households, and how family, friends and associates portrayed him as an exceedingly charming and adventurous young man. Hopping a ship to Africa, Casement would eventually work for the British Foreign Office, winning acclaim for exposing the brutality of King Leopold's rubber-trading operation in what was then the Belgian Congo. As his story continues, we sample entries from Casement's notorious "Black Diaries" and hear how saving forced native laborers in the Amazon from brutal rubber-producers got him knighted [6:55] . . . . . . . 7:05 Closing Credits/continuity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:30 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:45 ===================================== * =============================== STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", A PEAK INTO THE "BLACK DIARIES" FROM NOTORIOUS KNIGHT ROGER CASEMENT'S "DEVIL'S PARADISE"...
