Two white Pennsylvania residents have been sentenced to nine years each in the 2008 beating death of a Mexican immigrant. Brandon Piekarsky and Derrick Donchak were found guilty last year of committing a hate crime when they and four others beat Luis Ramírez in the town of Shenandoah. Witnesses say the assailants brutally beat Ramírez while yelling racial slurs. Piekarsky and Donchak had faced up to life in prison.
