USA Today is reporting the number of hate crimes prosecuted by the Justice Department has plummeted in recent years. Last year, the department charged 22 people with hate crimes. That was down 71 percent from 76 in 1997. On Saturday, protesters marched in Charleston, West Virginia, to criticize the Justice Department for not filing hate crime charges in the case of Megan Williams, the African-American woman who was tortured and held hostage by six white suspects earlier this year.
