man gets probation for beating homeless man to death by Joe Lambe, Kansas City Star - November 13, 2002 |

| A Jackson County judge on Thursday sentenced to probation a former liquor store employee who beat a homeless man to death.

"He lost his temper and did something he shouldn't have done," Torrence said of Perez. "Probation is no picnic." |
