Jewish center murders: Why hate crime charges were delayed Posted: 15 Apr 2014 01:17 PM PDT County prosecutors Tuesday charged the white supremacist suspected of killing three people outside two Kansas City-area Jewish community facilities Sunday with two counts of murder. However, despite a lengthy history of publicly espousing anti-Semitic views, F.

"We are in a very good place from an evidence standpoint of moving forward with this case, and it will be presented to the grand jury in the not too distant future," said Barry Grissom, US attorney for the District of Kansas. The reason for the delay, legal experts say, is that proving hate crimes requires a careful examination of what Mr. Miller may have said that day, before and immediately after his arrest.
