"Van Harten agreed with Iovinelli the more than six months Crowchief had spent behind bars, which he equated to a 9 1/2-month sentence, was sufficient jail time for Crowchief.
He placed the city woman on 12 months probation and ordered her to get psychological and psychiatric counselling as well as counselling for substance abuse.
She must also abstain from consuming intoxicating substances and is prohibited from going to any business whose principal sale is alcohol."
And you think the problem is that she didn't get charged with a hate crime?
I don't personally agree with hate crimes but if you are going to have them then you should dole them out equally. I can't imagine that if the situation was reversed that it wouldn't be considered a hate crime.
