Crime the federal hate crime bar. Even eric holder said this is a High Standard to meet and there wasnt enough evidence and i think people in sanford, florida wont be surprised by what eric holder is telling them and after the trial and the jury of six women found him not guilty it would be hard for the federal government to charge him. And to the statement you mentioned. Ill read a little bit of it. In the statement, he said it was a devastated tragedy and though a comprehensive investigation found the High Standard for a federal hate crime prosecution cannot be met under the circumstances here the young mans premature death necessitied that we continue the dialogue and investigate the passing and we the nation should take steps so make sure this doesnt happen in the feature.
