    I’m not sure what point there is to even spending any time ascertaining motive. It’s not like you’re going to use it against him on his court date, he’s dead.

    The “the family is not pressing charges” line also seems like it kinda goes without saying…

      Sorry… you don’t know why ascertaining whether or not it’s a hate crime matters?

      If you’re serious- because that leads to additional charges. As it should.
