There could be another explanation as one of a number of terroristic criminals who openly tell authorities one motive such as race, but could be hiding another motive, such as an attack on Americans by a party at war with America and the west, not just one race.

July 6, 2005
White Plains — Concetta Russo-Carriero "had to die" because she was white, the man accused of killing her told White Plains detectives in a 45-minute videotaped statement during which he also claims to have killed others and says he is at war with the white race."I never seen her before, and I didn't care," Phillip Grant said on the tape, which was played at his felony hearing in City Court yesterday. "As long as she had blond hair and blue eyes, she had to die."Grant said he knew he would get caught."I want the death penalty," he said. "I want to die. But I wanted to kill somebody white first."Grant, charged with second-degree murder and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon in the fatal June 29 stabbing, sat impassively while the tape was played, occasionally whispering to his legal-aid lawyer, Darien J. Zoppo.In the statement, recorded some five hours after the 1:15 p.m slaying, he said that, beginning at 11 a.m. that day, he walked around the Lexington Avenue-Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard garage, looking for a victim."I was thinking that the first person I see this morning that looks white, I'm killing them," he said. Later, the convicted rapist said he did not approach an older white woman walking through the garage "because she had already lived her life.""I wanted to kill somebody who lived a lily-white lifestyle and was a closet bigot," he said on the tape.Courtroom visitors could not see the video monitor, but they could clearly hear Grant's statements to Detective Rick Lee, who conducted the interview at police headquarters. Grant spoke calmly and matter-of-factly as he described how he decided to kill Russo-Carriero after he said she thrust a stairwell door toward him as he was walking inside on Level 7."I have no remorse whatsoever, because she was white," he said, adding that he believed he was fighting a race war.Russo-Carriero's funeral was held yesterday, several hours before Grant's hearing.Asked what he thought would happen now, Grant said on the tape: "It doesn't matter to me no more. Whatever they do, these (gesturing to his handcuffs) better not come off. My only regret is that I don't know anything about biological weapons. Get the death penalty for me, and get on with it.The state's high court has voided New York's death penalty statute, which was signed into law 10 years ago. No one has been executed as a result of it.During his rambling statement, Grant claimed that his mother was raped by whites when he was a child and that, although he's had white friends, they all turned out to be racists. He also said that he's spent most of his time in White Plains since he was released from state prison, and that a number of people regularly follow him around, calling him a rapist and hurling racial slurs at him.Grant, convicted of three rapes in the Bronx in 1980 and of assaulting another inmate in prison, was released in 2003 after serving 23 years. The one-time Mount Vernon resident, deemed a Level 3 sex offender, was living at the Westchester County Airport homeless shelter until April, when he was forced out for refusing to submit to a mental-health exam.Since then, he's stayed at the county's drop-in overnight shelter at the airport. Those needing a place to stay are picked up in White Plains and Yonkers each night and dropped off in those cities in the morning.Grant said in his statement that he killed "three or four people" during the 1970s and that, since his release from prison, he had tried to hijack a car in New Rochelle and had cut a woman's throat, killing her, because she wouldn't move out of his way on a sidewalk. He did not provide details of those crimes on the tape, but city police and the county prosecutor's office said they were investigating his statements."We are consulting with the appropriate agencies to verify the validity of the claims Mr. Grant has made," said Inspector Daniel Jackson of the White Plains police.After the hearing, city Judge Eric Press ordered that the case be presented to a grand jury. When Grant asked if he could testify before the grand jury, the judge suggested he take the matter up with his lawyer.Westchester District Attorney Jeanine Pirro said the grand jury would determine whether to charge Grant with a hate crime, which would increase the minimum sentence for second-degree murder from 15 to 20 years in prison. The maximum sentence would remain 25 years to life.Pirro called Grant's statement "chilling.""The videotape speaks for itself," she said. "The victim in this case did not have a chance. (Grant) was determined to commit this crime."Zoppo, the defense lawyer, avoided reporters after yesterday's hearing and did not return a call seeking comment late in the afternoon. Grant was being held in the Westchester County jail in Valhalla without bail.

Woman was stabbed to death in White Plains because she was White
A lawyer for the family of a woman who was stabbed to death in White Plains because she was white argued Thursday that the city failed to adequately secure a parking garage near the Galleria where the crime occurred. The lawyer spoke during the opening of a civil trial in the case, pressed by the family of Concetta “Connie” Russo-Carriero of White Plains, who was stabbed by Phillip Grant on June 29, 2005, at the parking garage. Grant, who is serving a sentence of 25 years to life in state prison, told police shortly after his arrest that he was waging a race war and only regretted not being able to kill more whites that day. Russo-Carriero’s family sued a variety of entities after the murder, culminating in Thursday’s trial, which is expected to last through next week. Russo-Carriero’s two sons, who have continuously fought for their mother, said outside the court that they were not out for money
