    NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – A California man denied Wednesday that
    he killed a University of Pennsylvania student because the
    victim was gay.

    Samuel Woodward, 21, who has pleaded not guilty to a murder
    charge, appeared in court and also denied a hate-crime
    allegation connected to the killing of 19-year-old Blaze
    Bernstein, the Orange County Register reported.

    Bernstein's body was found in a shallow grave in January at a
    park near his parents' Lake Forest home.

    investigators reviewed Woodward's cellphone, laptop and social
    media accounts and found hateful material against a range of
    groups and substantial evidence that Bernstein was killed
    because he was gay, Orange County District Attorney Tony
    Rackauckas said earlier this month.

    Woodward's lawyer, Edward Munoz, told the newspaper that
    Woodward suffers from a "serious mental disorder" and struggled
    with his own sexual identity.

    The attorney said Woodward has Asperger syndrome, a
    developmental disorder that generally causes difficulty with
    social interactions.

    Munoz told BuzzFeed News that his client "has a lot of issues, I
    think, around sexual orientation."

    "There's going to be some evidence that comes out that shows
    he's very confused," he said.

    Bernstein — who attended the same high school as Woodward —
    disappeared in January while visiting his family on winter break.

    His body was found nearly a week later buried in a shallow grave
    at a neighborhood park where he went with Woodward on the night
    he disappeared.

    Woodward told investigators that he became angry after Bernstein
    kissed him that night, according to a court filing obtained by
    the Orange County Register after the killing.

    A preliminary hearing in the case was postponed Wednesday.
    Woodward could face a sentence of life without parole if
    convicted.

    Fags are a disease of the mind.
