佛罗里达的一对夫妇 被控仇恨罪 威胁要吊死一个黑人男子 A Florida couple charged with a hate crime for threatening to hang a Black man during a neighborhood visit.

佛罗里达州的一对夫妇威利·安·派尔 （Wiley Pyle） 和谢丽尔·安·派尔 （Cheryl Ann Pyle） 被指控犯有仇恨犯罪加剧袭击罪，罪名是涉嫌在 7 月份的一次例行社区外展活动中威胁要绞死黑人公用事业项目经理安塔维斯·约翰逊 （Antavis Johnson）。 A Florida couple, Wiley and Cheryl Ann Pyle, have been charged with a hate-crime-enhanced assault for allegedly threatening to hang Black utility project manager Antavis Johnson during a routine neighborhood outreach in July. Johnson说,尽管警方最初确定没有发生任何犯罪,但夫妇俩使用种族污点并将他赶出他们的财产,促使检察官辩称威胁是出于种族动机,并造成对暴力的合理恐惧。 Johnson said the couple used racial slurs and pursued him off their property, prompting prosecutors to argue the threats were racially motivated and created a reasonable fear of violence, despite an initial police determination that no crime occurred. 两人均将于11月25日出庭。 Both are set to appear in court on November 25.
