The trial of a man accused in a racially motivated beating of an elderly Maryland man begins Tuesday.
Calvin Lockner is a convicted sex offender with a tattoo of Adolf Hitler on his midsection.
He faces charges -- including armed carjacking and armed robbery -- in the beating of James Privott, 76, last August while the victim was fishing in a south Baltimore park. Court documents show he confessed to the beating and said it wouldn't have happened if the victim had been white.
Lockner will be tried alongside 18-year-old Zachary Watson, who faces the same charges. Watson told police he didn't participate in the beating. A second teenager had his case moved to juvenile court.
