Hate crimes are harshly prosecuted on a state and federal level, and severe penalties may be imposed upon a conviction of this kind. In Arizona, if a crime is deemed to have been committed due to the victim's race, religion, ethnicity, disability or national origin, this may be grounds for an enhanced prison sentence of 10 years. This is why it is so important to involve an experienced criminal defense attorney if you or someone you know is facing hate crime charges.
