How is this not a hate crime? It's so much more than just a "crime of opportunity".... This was a murder/carjacking motivated by prejudice on the basis of her gender and age...and very possibly her race. The trial will reveal how this all unfolded....what led to the torture and death of this innocent woman...Are you saying that making it a hate crime increases the already heinousness of the crime?
In other words, what difference does it make? None. Hate crime or not it doesn't change the fact that she was targeted, beaten, then dragged to her death.
