The prosecutors didn't have to charge them under any other law. They were able to go for the death penalty under the capital murder charge. Had they not been able to do so, the prosecutors intended to use the Federal Hate crimes law.

However, that was not the point. The point was that we DO have a Hate Crimes Law on the books as claimed.

You are right that Bush did not want to expand the current law to include specific groups. It is a very general law as it is now written.
