Hate Crime Charges Upheld By Judge in Lateisha Green Case

With the Lateisha Green murder case scheduled to start in Syracuse, NY on June 11, an attempt made yesterday by Dwight DeLee defense attorney Clarence Johnson to wipe out the hate crimes charge against his client was struck down by Onondaga County Judge William Welsh.

Johnson had asked Walsh to find the hate crime law unconstitutionally vague and general. He also asserted that the law was unconstitutional in its specific application to DeLee.
