In West Virginia, a forty-six-year-old woman has been indicted on hate crime charges in the case of Megan Williams. Williams is the twenty-year-old African American woman who was kidnapped and tortured last year. Prosecutors say she was held for days in a trailer, where she was sexually assaulted, stabbed and forced to eat animal feces. Six people have been arrested in the case, but Karen Burton of Chapmanville, West Virginia is the first to be charged with a hate crime.
