Second Hate Crime within Eight Day Period in Davis

Law enforcement officers are investigation a hate crime that transpired in Davis earlier this week which also happens to be the second hate crime in Davis in 8 days. Currently, things are back to normal at the Davis Amtrak Station, but earlier this week, Amtrak was the scene of a violent hate crime.

According to a report by Fox40.com, the victim did nothing to enrage the perpetrator in any manner or form. He was just seated and the suspect walked right up to him and started verbally abusing him using racial slurs and then the abuse escalated to a physical level when the suspect kicked the man and threw him onto the floor.

The victim’s name has not been released by law enforcement officer for privacy concerns but they have confirmed that he was an Ethiopian man that was in his early thirties. According to investigators, they supposedly have reason to believe that the suspect may have been inebriated and is said to have been drinking or clutching onto a bottle even as he kicked and punched this Ethiopian victim.

This is a senseless and terrible crime. Drunk or not, there is no excuse. This violent drunk person will have plenty of time to sober up and remain sober in prison.

According to Louisville, KY criminal defense lawyers, hate crimes are considered felonies in most states and attracts a prison term of more than a year. Such bias-motivated crimes are punishable by up to 10 years to life in prison while some even attract the death penalty. Some people in America believe the death penalty should be given out more freely.

If the person is 100% guilty, not just by some witness, but forensics, video footage, witnesses, and other types of information compiled and calculated then the death penalty should be applied. For example, the terrorist who committed the Boston Bombing that Rolling Stone infamously glorified, should have been given the death penalty already and his sentencing should have taken less than three weeks. The entire process (building the case) should have been done in three weeks and he should have been executed within three weeks of conviction. Now back to the hate crime case….

The first of the two hate crime incidents in Davis

Miles Davis, a student at the University of Davis, spoke to media personnel in an interview and said that such hate crimes or race based attacks were becoming far too common place in this community and that the victim could very well have been himself or a loved one.

This incident comes to light only a few days after a female was attacked by a group of men at UC Davis simply because of the color of her skin. The victim was African American and her abusers were young, intoxicated, Caucasian men who are probably a product of America’s public school system that is not impressive anymore. The three men in this case have been dealt with and two of them are currently facing charges of hate crimes. The woman was not sexually assaulted and did not require any medical attention.

In the recent case concerning the Ethiopian man, investigators are still looking for the suspect. They only have video footage of him and describe him as a Caucasian man in his 40’s who has short brown hair and a moustache.

Criminal defense attorneys in Kentucky also confirm that people who commit hate crimes of various types which may or may not also involve a DUI can be sued in a civil court and be held liable to pay damages to the victim. Civil liability laws also apply.

Jessica Chambers’ burning death in 2014 – man indicted in case

As reported by Fox News, 27 year old Quinton Verdell Tellis has been charged in connection with the burning death of teenager Jessica Chambers back in 2014.

There is not one Louisville, KY criminal defense lawyer that does not believe a case of this magnitude is serious.

The details of the case are truly shocking. Allegedly, Tellis poured lighter fluid all over the teenage girl including into her orifices and then set her ablaze. Chambers was found with third degree burns covering 98% of her body and died shortly later in hospital.

It is speculated that the two had an on again off again relationship going on. Legal professionals say that the evidence in the case is strong and expect that Tellis will be convicted. If convicted, he could be slapped with life imprisonment without parole or even the death sentence. Not too many people are on his side here. Why did he do this? Well, he can explain that to heavenly figure after his soul leaves this planet after he dies, whenever that is. That may be a short conversation.

If you are a victim of a hate crime or any other crime and wish to recover damages, the best course of action would be to consult a criminal defense lawyer in Kentucky as soon as possible. The first meeting is most likely free.

A legal counselor will give you an honest opinion of how your case could fare in court depending on state law, and will do everything in his or her power to protect your rights. Taking a possible plea bargain is not out of the question.
