Oregon man charged with attempted murder and hate crimes for allegedly attacking an Indian immigrant due to her ethnicity.
January 9, 2020, 1:03 AMDeschutes County Jail via APfor allegedly attacking an Indian immigrant due to her ethnicity, leaving her with a broken shoulder and various other injuries.
He was indicted on hate crime charges early this week in light of comments he made about Puri's nationality. He allegedly made derogatory statements regarding the woman's country of origin and expressed a desire to rid America of people like her, according to the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office.
This Dec. 31, 2019 booking photo provided by the Deschutes County, Ore., Jail shows James Lamb, who has been charged with attempted murder and hate crimes."The victim of this unprovoked assault provided heroic testimony to the grand jury from her hospital bed. Too many people in Oregon are silenced by intimidation and violence because of how they look, who they love, or to whom they pray," Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel said in a statement.
Previously, felony charges were only authorized if two or more people harmed another based on these motivations."Because of this woman's strength, and because the Oregon Legislature passed a law last year to strengthen Oregon’s hate crime law, justice will be delivered in this case," Hummel said."Hate is not tolerated in Deschutes County."
