When is a hate crime not a hate crime, Part Two

The LAT has an article on actor Trev Broudy, who was allegedly "robbed" last year:

On Sept. 1, Broudy was saying goodbye to his friend Teddy Ulett when a man jumped out of a car and began swinging at Broudy's head with a bat.

A witness told sheriff's deputies that another attacker beat Broudy with a pipe. Ulett, who was in his car when the attack began, was hit in the arm, but managed to drive off.

Later this month, three men are scheduled to go on trial in the attack, which prosecutors say was an attempted robbery.

The suspects, who have pleaded not guilty, do not face hate crime charges. The district attorney said there was no evidence that prejudice was a factor.

As I discussed previously, the suspects reportedly said that they were out to "rob rich white people." Apparently DA Steve Cooley doesn't think that statement (assuming it's admissible) indicates prejudice, nor do the other circumstances of this "robbery."
