By Joel Waldman, CBS Miami February 5, 2022 Rene Chalarca and Dimitry Logunov, who claim they were victims of a hate crime, appeared in court on Thursday. Sitting just feet away from them were the four men accused of leaving them bruised and bloodied four years ago after the annual Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade. Lawyers for the accused attackers say their clients are innocent, despite surveillance video which clearly shows the brutal beachside attack.
