Justice may be arriving in the PA hate crime case.

The U.S. Department of Justice use indictions by a federal grand jury connected to a racially motivated killing and alleged police corruption in Shenandoah, PA. The indictments were reached on December 10, 2009. The new federal cases were charged under a hate crime statute that makes it a federal offense to interfere with a person's housing rights on the basis of race through threat or force.

"The people charged are two former high school football players and police officers, including Shenandoah's police chief. Some of the statements made during the attack allegedly included "f--cking Spic" and "Tell your f---king Mexican friends to get the f--k out of Shenandoah." Mr. Ramirez, who suffered a coma, died two days after the attack without ever regaining consciousness. Blunt force trauma to the head was the official cause of death according to the medical examiner, who also ruled it a homicide."
