Rice said he intentionally picked women to ault “because they are more vulnerable than men.” Prosecutors also said in the papers that Rice “hates gays.” The Human Rights Campaign, a national gay and lesbian organization, praised the Justice Department. “With this indict ment, the federal government has recognized the horrendous nature of this hate crime and that it should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” said political director Winnie Stachelberg. Rice, 34, was indicted by a federal grand jury Tuesday in Charlottesville, Va., the indictment announced Wednesday in Washington. Federal authorities had automatic jurisdiction in the case because the slayings took place on U.S. government land. A federal hate-crimes law covers crimes motivat ed by race and religion, but not sex or sexual orientation. An effort to add those categories failed two years ago. The Justice Department was able to push for a hate-crimes type of indictment in this case, howev er, because comments Rice allegedly made in prison indicate he selected the women “because of the actual or perceived gender or sexual orienta tion” of his victims. Rice was charged with four counts of capital murder: —One count for each murder on the basis of Rice’s motivation, which allows prosecutors to introduce more evidence than a straight murder charge. —One conventional murder charge for each woman’s death in case the “hate crime” charges are rejected by a jury, department offi cials said. Conviction on any of the charges could bring Rice the death penalty. The murders were not Rice’s first offenses against women, according to the government’s court documents. — John Ashcroft attorney general Beach Lifeguard!
