From the Des Moines Register...
"Story County Attorney Jessica Reynolds said the hate crime charges were added because Martinez is suspected of criminal mischief against someone's property because of "what it represents as far as sexual orientation."
Jessica Reynolds story County Attorney
Reynolds needs to get off her ass and weigh in.
“Kim” Reynolds is who needs to be heard from.
A DA usually makes recommendations for sentencing but there is near amazement at the actual sentence by everyone... except the judge?
Combine that with the inability to find the judge’s name in any report anywhere and I am sensing a big fat biased rat in this.
Inclusion of the name of the judge in such articles is (very) common practice.
Why not this one?
