Teen who beat disabled 62-year-old to death in sick 'knock 'em out' video he posted on Facebook is jailed for 30 years

A 19-year-old man has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for his role in the beating death of a disabled Chicago man. The brutal crime was captured on video and then posted on Facebook. Earlier this year, Anthony Malcolm was found guilty of first-degree murder and robbery for his part in the sickening attack that killed 62-year-old Delfino Mora. Speaking in court yesterday, he told the victim's family: 'I'm sorry, I can feel your pain.' According to prosecutors, Malcolm was with two other teenagers last July when they decided to play a game called 'Pick 'em out, knock 'em out'.

The three targeted Mr Mora, a father of 12 and grandfather of 23, in an alley in the West Rogers Park neighbourhood and ordered him to empty his pockets. Malcolm's friend Malik Jones allegedly then punched him in the jaw, causing him to fall to the ground and hit his head on the concrete. The group then proceeded to rifle through the victim's wallet as he lay dying in the alley. Mr Mora was found by a passer-by with blood on his face and vomit next to his head about three hours later and was taken to hospital. However, he died the next day as a result of blunt head trauma.
