Matthew Kafagolis and Ethan Kirkwood, the alleged perpetrators in the anti-gay hate crime that took place on or near University of Cincinnati’s campus, are now being charged with two counts of misdemeanor assault each, according to the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts’ Web site. The charges were refiled as misdemeanors against the alleged perpetrators on March 19, and March 20, respectively. The original charges these individuals faced were felonious assault. The maximum penalty for a misdemeanor charge is less than a year in jail.Both have been charged with two counts of: "ASSLT-KNOWINGLY,VICTIM HRMD M1 2903-13A ORCN." I don't know what that means. I think it's just describing where in the legal code the court is charging them under.

"2903-13A ORCN" refers to Ohio Revised Code, section 2903-13, which is the definition of Assault.
Also, the code specifies that misdemeanors of the first degree can be punished with "not more than one hundred eighty days" in jail or "not more than one thousand dollars" in fines. Barely a hand-slap. (Ohio Revised Code sections 2929.24 and 2929.28)
If the reduction in charges is part of a plea bargain, the sentence may not even be the maximum.
Of course, the victims may have the opportunity to file civil charges to recover medical expenses and pain and suffering.
That's a bunch of bullshit...
hang the fuckers by their balls...
whoa easy -- not more violence.
If a misdemeanor, no excuse for omitting the hate crime enhancement then?
