[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Under Georgia law, protected categories include race, gender, religion and national origin.

The killer told investigators that he had a sex addiction and that he saw the spas as a "temptation he wanted to eliminate."

The killer can still be charged under the hate crime law.  If he had targeted women to eliminate his sexual addiction, gender is one of the protected classes.  [/quote]
If he is charged with hating women but not hating Asians, a lot of people will cry foul.  [/quote]

Not sure if the penalty is different.  It's the same hate law.  No one wants this guy out near their wives or daughters for a long, long time.  [/quote]
I don't think the penalty really matters.  It will be be something like 8 life sentences or the death penalty.  [/quote]

I work with a lot of people in law enforcement.  They are consummate professionals.  If the elements aren't there, they'll drop it.  If one law doesn't apply, another one may apply.  But it's never personal.  If there's no crime, the case gets dropped.  If someone did the crime, s/he will do the time.  [/quote]
