Hate crime case against Boulder attack suspect can proceed, judge rules
DENVER — A federal judge on Wednesday ruled there was sufficient evidence for prosecutors to pursue a hate crime charge against the man accused of hurling molotov cocktails at a group of demonstrators calling for the release Israeli hostages in Gaza earlier this month.
But U.S. Magistrate Judge Kathryn Starnella said it would be up to a jury to decide whether the June 1 attack in Boulder was motivated by hostility toward the victims' political views or their perceived national origin.
