Nasu, a high school teacher, was left with four broken teeth, three facial fractures and a concussion. If I smile, my face is lopsided,” said Nasu, who is still recovering from her injuries.
The suspect was caught.
Nasu calls it a hate crime, but the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office says, at this point, it does not have the evidence needed to file the case as a hate crime.
“As horrible as this attack was, we do not believe we can prove a hate crime before a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. Investigators, which are separate from our office, are looking for evidence that would allow us to prove a hate crime beyond a reasonable doubt. However, if convicted for the two felony assault crimes we charged, that defendant would face a longer punishment than if the case were charged as a hate crime,” the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
