A Brooklyn gang member convicted of nearly beating a gay man (pictured) to death in 2005 — only to have his conviction reversed on a technicality — pleaded guilty to a lesser charge yesterday in return for a nine-year sentence.

That’s much less than the 25 years Steven Pomie, 26, got in 2006, when a jury convicted him of first-degree assault as a hate crime in the beating of Dwan Prince.
