Some New York prosecutors are using a hate crimes enhancement to get stiffer penalties for crimes against the elderly. The theory is that the defendants have a belief about the ease with which the elderly can be defrauded, etc. but do not necessarily involve any hatred.
What say you? To me, this seems like a good result but a bad method.
