The judge who scrubbed the fatal shooting of black motorist Terence Crutcher from the record of a white cop has been criticized for allowing the murder of a Lebanese man that the victim’s family describe as a hate crime.

Tulsa County district Judge William “Bill” LaFortune belongs to one of the most prominent families in Oklahoma. LaFortune, a Republican, served as the 34th mayor of Tulsa 2002-2006. His uncle served as mayor of Tulsa in the 1970s and his nephew, G.T. Bynum, is the current mayor.

As Raw Story reported Thursday, Judge LaFortune sealed the documents involving the fatal shooting of Terence Crutcher by white former Tulsa Police Department officer Betty Jo Shelby, essentially making it, “as if it never happened.”

Crutcher had his hands in the air and was unarmed. Officer Shelby was acquitted and now works for the neighboring Rogers County Sheriff’s Office.

'My family lived in fear of this man for years': The family of an Arab-American man killed by his neighbor speaks

The family of a Lebanese-American man who was fatally shot last week have released a statement describing a history of harassment, intimidation, and even physical assault against them by the suspect in the killing.

Khalid Jabara of Tulsa was gunned down by a man the police identified as his next-door neighbor Stanley Vernon Majors on the steps of Jabara's porch on Friday.

The family's statement said Majors had stalked members of Jabara's family for years and once described them to the police as "dirty Arab" and "filthy Lebanese." He also hurled Islamophobic epithets at the family, the statement said, even though the Jabaras are Christian.

"Our brother's death could have been prevented," said the statement, published by Jabara's sister Victoria on Facebook on Monday. "This man was a known danger."
