A Buffalo man has pleaded guilty to a hate crime for burning a cross on the front lawn of an inter-racial couple. Prosecutors say 41-year-old Donald Napierala admitted to two charges. Police say Napierala burned the four foot high cross in the early morning hours of July 7th at the victim's South Park Avenue home. He faces three-and-a-half to seven years behind bars when sentenced in April.
