Man commits murder. Man gets charged with state crime of “murder.” Man gets convicted of that murder. Man gets sentenced to life in prison with no possibility or parole.
Man then gets charged federally for the same criminal acts but the charge is murder as a hate crime. Presumably, man didn’t commit the murder because he loved the victim. Either way, the same dead victim and the same convicted murderer.
What exactly is the point of a second set of charges? Maybe he will get another sentence of life without possibility of parole? That sure will show him.
