Scott Johnson

Scott Russell Johnson was an American university student who died in Australia in 1988. The death was initially treated by the police as a suicide, but a coroner's inquest in 2017 resulted in the finding that he died "as a result of a gay-hate attack." In May 2020 Scott White, an Australian man, was arrested and charged for the murder. In January 2022 he was convicted. The conviction was overturned on appeal, and he then pled guilty to manslaughter.²
