Half-paralyzed and slurring his speech, the victim of a vicious gay-bashing in Brooklyn hobbled into court yesterday to confront his assailant, as a judge handed down the 25-year maximum.
Dwan Prince, 28, dressed smartly in a gray suit, leaned on a cane and limped, even when he walked just a few feet from the front row of the courtroom to the prosecution table, where he addressed the man who attacked him for being gay, Steven Pomie.
“I have tremendous pain,” Prince said. “I have pain 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”
Pomie was convicted last month of taking part in the June 8, 2005, beating near East 94th Street and Kings Highway in East Flatbush.
