i don't see why it can't be both. hate crime and habitual offender.
but, I'm no lawyer.

I believe they went that way bc conviction on battery was all that was needed to put this guy away for life. Easier to convict for battery only, rather than both and opening up another avenue for appeals. Just a guess though.

Let me make this as clear as possible. They had to get a felony conviction for the guy to get life. The Second Degree Battery charge, a felony, was simple to prove. He beat the guy so bad he put him in the hospital. Boom. Life sentence.
But if you charge the Hate Crime now you have to drag race and intent and a bunch of other elements into the charge. Likely you will not “prove” one of those points to one of the jurors or you may just flat piss off someone on the jury with the racial angle. Boom. No conviction and guy walks free.
THERE WAS ZERO REASON to risk him going free by charging the Hate Crime.

Don’t be a criminal, loser:

You’ve already made the point abundantly clear.
Unfortunately, that’s not going to stop some people from slinging around their hot takes. Sometimes Narrative > Reality.

He should have been sentenced to swim across the Mississippi River. If he makes it across alive, he is allowed to go and live free.

Let the thug rot in jail. Piss on him.

I said it because he is a piece of shite with a clear-cut violent history. He did more than his part to make North BR a shitty place to live and be. I don't have an ounce of sympathy for him, and in fact- wish all the bad things prison can bring down upon him. Is that clear enough?
As for your last question- you are clearly showing a sympathetic eye because of what his race happens to be- which is lame. But that's on you- not me.

Sounds like he should have been charged with a hate crime.

It’s not a hate crime because only white people can be racist

Punish the deed. You can't determine thought and then set punishment.
The guy deserved the max, anyone that had his record and his history of violence needs to stay in Angola.

You asked the question multiple times, what didn’t you understand the first two times he explained it?

I agree. There's a time to be an idealist and a time to be a pragmatist. Putting someone behind bars for life I'll choose to be a pragmatist.
Now, the idealist should take this case before the legislature and ask, "If this isn't a hate crime, nothing is" and throw out that unconstitutional statute.
