Let's say the defense successfully argues that they were making a citizens arrest of an individual they believed to have committed a crime. This means they were acting lawfully in order to detain and question that individual. With hate crime being a different change they would be not guilty of having committed a crime, but still guilty of impure motivations for what was otherwise deemed a lawful act. In my understanding a hate crime is a more severe form of the initial crime. So if there is no initial crime it cannot also be a hate crime. However making it a separate change means it can exist independently. It sounds like an excuse to still punish them even if found not guilty. --- No locked doors, no windows barred. No more things to make my brain seem SKARD. Look at Mr. Technical over here >.> -BTB ... Copied to Clipboard! |
