GALVESTON - With a 20-year sentence erased because of his dyslexia, a man Friday accepted a five-year plea bargain for a hate-based attack of a gay patron at an island bar.
Alejandro Sam Gray, 19, originally was sentenced March 26 to 20 years in prison on two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He and two others were accused of hurling concrete rocks
at patrons of Robert's Lafitte Bar, 2501 Ave. Q, because the patrons were gay.
