A Philippines court judge found a U.S. marine guilty of killing a transgender woman in Philippines on Tuesday, according to CNN. Lance Corporal Joseph Scott Pemberton was convicted in connection with the death of Jennifer Laude in an Olangapo city hotel room last year, where she was found dead with her head submerged inside a toilet bowl.
On Oct. 11, 2014, Pemberton and Laude met at a bar and checked into the hotel room later, where Laude was strangled and drowned by Pemberton after he found out she was transgender, according to CBS News.
