The man charged with killing an Orange County teen in an alleged hate crime six years ago testified Tuesday about how the two men connected on social media and went to a park.
David GonzálezTuesday was Samuel "Sam" Woodward's third day of testimony and day 28 of his trial. He testified about how he reconnected with his former Orange County School of the Arts classmate, Blaze Bernstein.
Woodward said he matched Bernstein on Tinder, a social media and dating app, in 2017 and at first was startled. The day ended as Woodward recounted how he picked Bernstein up from his home on January 2, 2018, and went to a park in Lake Forest. In addition, some of the questions during the first part of the day focused on Woodward's sexuality. He admitted having a short-term relationship with a woman but denied ever experimenting with men.
