Man pleads not guilty in hate crime killing of University of Pennsylvania student

A man has pleaded not guilty in the hate crime killing of a University of Pennsylvania student.

In January, the body of Blaze Bernstein was found in a shallow grave in a park in Santa Ana, California.

According to police, Samuel Woodward killed the 21-year-old because he was gay and Jewish.

Prosecutors are treating the killing as a hate crime.

Woodward pleaded not guilty in court last week, but investigators said they have DNA evidence that links Woodward to the crime.
