Teens who killed Haverstraw man convicted
In December 2007, former Haverstraw resident Gary Secone was beaten to death at his home in Cincinnati, Ohio. Secone was living with his girlfriend, Linda Wagner, of 20 years. She was home at the time.
He died from internal injuries to this chest and spleen and had sneaker marks embedded in his chest from being stomped.
Two teenagers - Tor Hardy, 15, and Jullian Douglas, 17 – were arrested by the Cincinnati police.
The were accused of becoming enraged over text messages he thought the 53-year-old maintenance man sent him. Police said Secone didn’t text anyone.
Douglas was charged as an adult with felony murder and aggravated robbery. He eventually was convicted of involuntary manslaughter on June 17 and sentenced the same day to three years in prison, according to Julie Wilson, a spokeswoman for the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s office.
Hardy was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to 10 years in prison, Wilson said. He was sentenced June 18, the day after his conviction.
Secone grew up on Railroad Avenue and was the baby of the family – the youngest of five born to Anthony and Irene Secone and raised in Haverstraw. He played pool professionally, learning the game at Gokey’s Pool Room, owned by his uncle, on Broadway in Haverstraw village.
His family held a memorial service for him at Mount Repose Cemetary. The family includes his Elizabeth Zachmann, two other two sisters and a brother.

why only ten years for this punk? he’ll be a bigger menace to the white community unless another prisoner exterminates the rat in jail or he commits futures crimes still locked up, never to see freedom again. if black women don’t have a non-criminal legal husband/prospetive father they should be neutered like cats and dogs to prevent parentless strays.
