NEWS: UPDATE ON MEGAN WILLIAMS CASE; NO HATE CRIME?

Friday, September 14, 2007

mwcase.jpg

Earlier this week we blogged on that heinous HATE crime that went down in West Virgina last week. Well here is new info on the case.

On Wednesday (Sept. 12th) it was reported that the six white suspects accused of torturing Megan Williams for almost a week will not face federal hate crime charges. Logan County Prosecutor Brian Abraham said his office would pursue other charges first because they carry stiffer penalties. West Virginia’s hate crime law carries a sentence of up to 10 years.

It was also reported that Megan Williams dated one of her attackers, Bobby Brewster. This interns undermines the hate crime law, which applies to crimes motivated by racial hatred and not by non-race-related conflicts.

It was widely reported that Williams was assaulted with a knife, while being taunted with racial slurs. So just because she dated and knew the attackers this isn’t a hate crime? Some people are saying that this is a good/bad thing. As I stated, a hate crime charge carries a lesser sentence.


Community leaders and preachers spoke on behalf of the Williams family on Thursday about the prosecutors decision in the case.

“If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, acts like a duck and walks like a duck, it has to be a duck,” said Rev. Emanuel Heyliger, who represented the family during the press conference. He said if Logan County officials don’t file hate crimes charges, federal government officials should intervene. [SOURCE]

Various media sources are reporting that Megan Williams suffered from some sort of mental disability, but I couldn’t find any confirmed reports.

WHERE are you people getting your law statistics from??? (and please dont say Wendy Williams. lol) A charge of a hate crime carries a HEAVIER sentence not a lighter one. A MINIMUM of 10 years will be added to the sentence of anyone convicted of a hate crime. And there have been numerous instances where people have had relationships with people who were of the very race they hated. So these sick trailer trash bastards should definitely be charged with a hate crime

LOL at #77!!! :o) I hear you.. But, the ‘lighter sentence’ argument comes directly from the WVA prosecutor not Wendy Williams.. Check msnbc.com or cnn.com for details.. I believe he said that the WVA hate crime statue carries a ’stiffer’ penalty (together with the kidnapping charge, etc).. I’m licensed in NY so I have no idea what the WVA inbreds do.. Doh! I know- that was wrong.. My bad… Can’t help it. I’m a bit bitter today….

THESE PARTICULAR WHITE PEOPLE DESERVE TO GO TO PRISON . THEY DESERVE TO GET LIFE AND EVEN BETTER GET THE DEATH PENALTY. WHAT MAKES THIS CASE SAD IS THE FACT THAT SHE WAS MENTALLY DISTURB. ITS NOT THE CASE OF, IF SHE WAS WHITE OR IF SHE WAS BLACK. ITS THE FACT THAT PEOPLE OF ANY COLOR WOULD TAKE IT AMONGS THERE SELF AND RAPE ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN DONE TO A WHITE PERSON….WOULD SOME US EVEN CARE IF IT WAS A WHITE WOMAN. I WOULD NEVER PULL THE RACE CARD ON ANY RACE. NOT ALL PEOPLE ARE LIKE THIS.

MY PRAYERS ARE WITH THIS LADY FAMILY…THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO ANYONE. GOD BLESS

Oh Hell No...

WHAT POST ARE YALL READING??? THEY BASICALLY SAID IF THEY CHARGE THEM WITH A HATE CRIME THEY MAY ONLY DO UP TO TEN YEARS. THATS WHY THEY ARE TRYING TO CHARGE THEM WITH SOMETHING ELSE SO THAT THEY WILL GET MORE TIME. IF SHE DIDNT DATE ONE OF THE ATTACKERS THEN THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH A HATE CRIME AND THEY PROBABLY WOULDNT GET AS MUCH TIME. SO IT IS GOOD THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO CHARGE THEM WITH SOMETHING ELSE CAUSE THEY NEED TO GET AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE.

That’s what the black woman gets for dating the white man. Read Deu. 7:3 and Neh.13:23. The Most High doesn’t want us dealing with white people because they regularly commit savagery like this. As much as I’ve said this, there will still be Black women that date crackers.

My heart goes our to the young lady. However her parents need to be persude by the law as well. The “boyfriend” has a domestic case and the other young white chick has assault charge against her for hittng her in the head with a shovel. If i have a mentally slow child regardless of how independent she may think she is, she should have not been put into this situation a third time with the same people. Had their not been an anyonomus tip she may have been dead by now.

@65 — Although charging them with 2 charges for 1 crime is what our hearts desire for this woman, its called Double Jeoprady and cannot be done. You can only be charged 1 time for 1 crime, you cannot have multiple charges for one crime. #74 said it best.

okay, i just want to know why in the hell was she involved with this trash in the first place!? ALL of the six have criminal records, the mother of the guy she dated has done time for murder!! they look like trailer trash. Even if they were black, she should have avoided him and THEM like the plague. and another thing if state charges carry a longer sentence, whats the big deal. just because one is charged with a hate crime doesn’t mean it will stick. we’ve got to be saavy (sp?) enough to realize the end justifies the means. they can charge them with whatever, so long as they do HARD LONG TIME…besides when they hit the joint, everyone will know about their crimes, and thats when the ish is really going to hit the fan!!

I don’t give a damn if they don’t consider it a hate crime - the sentence they get from all the state charges is going to be enough to put the racist trailer park trashy ass folks is the state pen! That is enough for me. I don’t care what you call it just get the bastards on the stiffest penalty you can find!

They are charging the bastards with the right law!

Whitey signed this law into effect, but they only want to apply it to african Americans and not Honkey’s. I’m sorry I’m mad my friendgirl’s brother was killed by a white boy because he dated this wet back in a small town. The DA would not charge him with a hate crime, supposedly the two men were friends and it did not apply. He was killed because of the color of his skin period. Let a black person kill a skinhead I bet that individual will be charged with a hate crime. That’s white America fo ya!

I swear, about 1/3rd of the people who post on Concreteloop are either illiterate or just too damn lazy to read. Flame me all you want, but don’t act like it’s not true.

The story plainly says that if the prosecution goes with a hate crime that the maximum sentence is 10 years vs. the 25+ years if they just stuck with the basic charges.

Sure, let’s all just call up Al Sharpton, have him throw pressure on the DA to go for the hate charges, and watch those mother fathers get out in 10 years, 6 with good behavior. So where the hell is the justice in that?

The whole story is sad and tragic and my heart goes out to her and her family. The fact of the matter when this kind of crime is committed regardless against what race, by what race its a hate crime, period. The question is would we rather have it labeled as a hate crime and see these sick, sorry individuals not even get a quarter of the time they truly deserve. Or do we want them to charge them with the heaviest charge that the law would allow so that these sick SOB’S don’t see freedom for a long time. Truth be told a situation such as this there is not enough time any Judge can give them that will be satisfactory. But I personally feel any crime such as this is a hate crime and I wouldn’t care so much the name of the charge as long as true justice is served.

This is appalling, I was just reading on GlobalGrind.com that the case will not be tried as a hate crime, which I think it should be. Just because one person out of 6 knew the girl? Turn the tables and have the victim be a white female and watch how fast the case would be tried and those criminals be given a life sentence. This makes me sick.

Though it is messed up that they arent going to be tried for hate crimes, at least the judge wants harsher punishment for these people. It is a good/bad thing, but at least true justice is going to be served!

Lol, brother/sister/whatever since you want me so desperately to give you attention and grace you with a comment on this issue, hear I go. I predict that this issue will peter out for the simple fact that they will use the sister’s lack of mental capacity against her. They’ll try to pin the brunt of the case on one or two males and probably let the women off with relatively light sentences (if not outright exoneration) because they’ll probably say that the testimony of the only witness, the victim, is compromised due to her mental deficiencies and her affiliation with one of the males. See I, unlike the majority of the many angry sister on this site, can expound on topics outside of the shortcomings of the black man. You happy “Observant 1″, lmao?

Regardless of her alleged mental stability, she has been threw something that most of us will never will imagine dealing with. I pray for her healing. And that Justice will be done!!!!!

People read the article more thoroughly!

Hate crime= less time in jail

Not a Hate crime= more time in jail, more severe punishment.

I would rather have them in jail for a really long time so that they don’t have the opportunity to do something like this again. We all know it’s a hate crime and so do the prosecutors, but they obviously want to give these people the harshest sentence they can. And the only way to do that is to forgo the hate crime thing.

I would go for the harsher punishment even if you have to overlook it being a hate crime.

It has also been reported that not only did she date Brewster, but there is a domestic violence charge against him from July 2007. It’s also been reported on a newscast, but I can’t find it in print anywhere that the mother and son have both killed before. The son killed his stepfather when he was 12 and the mother killed a woman in the same trailer a few years ago.

Why weren’t they in jail?

I read somewhere else that they were dropping the hate crimes and were going to go ahead and prosecute them on more serious federal criminal charges which all carry more time. If that is true then good but what they did to her are still hate crimes but the more time these sons-a-bitches gets then the better. And they need to definitely review and revise wth a hate crime is.

These things will get what they have coming to them. Trust…i could care less how her attack is worded in the courts…her injuries is evidence, the law knows that she was held against her will, she was raped, tortured, burned and forced to do god only knows what. Last but not least, her attackers all have records with assault and what not so I want to have faith that the law will work in the victim’s favor. If she was a minor, it would be a wrap. I feel that it was a hate crime but If we all find out that these people have to spend more than 10 years in jail, we will all be happy.

We all know it’s a hate crime, but these new charges not only have a stiffer penality, but a better chance of sticking. So whatever they have to call it to get these monsters behind bars where they belong, so be it. Because a few years for people like this will do nothing. They’ll get back out and terrorize someone else. I hope the system gets this one right.

1.) the whole concept of “hate crime” is silly really. why should anyone be punished for the opinion they hold, whether you agree with it our not? isn’t that a violation of our Bill of Rights… like the first one!.

2.) I think that black leaders who are hoping that this should be labeled a “hate crime” only embarrass blacks… because they much rather have someone be punished less (as would be the case if thye don’t label it that way) just to support their own agendas, such as the constant push to have blacks only look in racial terms, than actually have some sort of justice for the victim (such as a stiffer penalty for the defendants)!

I didnt even read comments this time…. Im just posting. My heartfelt prayers go out to Megan and her family at this time. It was such a horrible thing that happened to her and I couldnt even finish reading it the first time it was posted because I was so disgusted. How could someone even possess the evil thoughts in their head required to carry someting like this out. I feel that they need to charge them with whatever charge that will allow them to spend the most time in jail. Attempted murder, assualt with a deadly weapon, criminal sexual abuse, kidnapping, mental- sexual- physical abuse, a hate crime, intimidation…Heck, pick one…add one…choose them all. But please charge them with somthing that allows them to spend enough years in jail so this young lady can get her life back together and relocate …in peace. And these are not first or even second time offenders in some cases…so they knew better.

They should receive the maximum sentence…nuff said.

well if they can get a longer sentence this way, then f*ck a hate crime charge then. if they get charged with a hate crime and get a lesser sentence because of it, black people everywhere will be rioting because they got a lesser sentence than the Jena 6 teens. But if they leave off the hate crime thing, black people everywhere will be rioting for that too. oh well, we are never happy, so just do whatever so they can get the longer sentence.

This is an outrage! America’s judicial system is more concerned about Micheal Vick and the rights of DOGS, then they are about this young WOMAN!! These people should be charged with everything. Why discard the Hate Crime charge? Tack it on to the other charges! Why leave off a charge? Sure the other charges will get more time, but add the 10 years for that too! And has anyone asked the question, “why aren’t these people being charged for attempted murder”? The Jena 6 were originally charged with attempted murder, and there weapons were their sneakers!!!! These people forced her to eat things that could possibly kill her, beat her for days, and cut her with a knife! Where is the justice…………………….oh my bad! It’s JUST US!!!!!

I am with Rev Heyliger –If it acts like a duck, etc, etc…It is a hate crime. And what about Mrs. Brewster has she not had more than three strikes after the killing of the 84 yo? Is this not a hate crime both against a disabled person and a minority? And it does not matter if Meagan Willaims dated one of the guys or not—There is a lot of date rape in this country and a lot of domestic abuse!!! Also it is a known fact that most murder victims know their killer!! These people need to never return to the streets again!!!! PS These people look like Meth-heads…To me Meth makes crack look like candy.

my god. why does everyone think that ppl from west virginia are “meth users’, “inbred, redneck hicks”. yes, these ppl are horrible. i am from Logan Co, where this took place. why does everyone think they need to be charged for a hate crime?? hello? that is only 10 years!! and the suspects will get longer for other charges! the girl, BLACK OR WHITE, dated one of the guys. these ppl have commited over 100 crimes all together. i read this in the local newspaper. do you think they did this because the girl was black? no. they would have done it either way, look how many crimes they have already commited? you guys need to get EDUCATED before you make comments.
