Problem is she just pissed off the Mayor and Chief of police by doing so. That his $10,000 and community service he already did somehow pays for the hundreds of thousands of dollars that have been spent by the city on the case isn't sitting well with them. Not to mention his abuse of hate crime laws and now having tainted it for others who are actually victims going forward...
