DNA leads to arrest again in gay murder
Kevin Hoffman is back in custody after being re-arrested on charges of murdering Michael Sortal two years ago in his Fort Lauderdale home. Previously his murder charge was dropped when the crime lab mishandled DNA evidence, but thanks to new forensic evidence linking Hoffman to the scene he's back in custody. Police discovered Sortal's body naked with a plastic bag over his head and a belt around his neck. Police arrested Kennedy, 28, and Hoffman, believing the roommates targeted gay men, robbing them in their homes. Kennedy has agreed to testify against Hoffman also, having previously refused.
