Hate crime is defined for criminal prosecution
February 5, 2007 - MPR’s Elizabeth Stawicki reports on a Wisconsin hunter's death and the designation of a hate crime. An issue of the nation's Hmong newspaper "Hmong Today" asks in bold headline whether death was an accident or a hate crime. Prosecutors in northeastern Wisconsin have charged James Nichols, who is white, with killing Cha Vang, who's Hmong. Nichols has claimed self-defense.
