Episode Description

There are new developments in the case of a West Valley City mall stabbing, in which a Muslim kiosk worker was seriously injured. The man accused of the stabbing has said he targeted the man specifically because of his religion and ethnicity. Now, the federal government will pursue hate crime charges against the suspect. The Inside Sources hosts are confused, though, because this seems to contradict much of what the current Department of Justice does.
