A federal judge has turned away a challenge to a federal hate crimes law and allowed jury selection to start for two eastern Kentucky men charged under the statute.
The trial of two eastern Kentucky men charged with a hate crime and attacking a gay man has been set for October 15. U.S. District Judge Gregory Van Tatenhove issued the new trial date Wednesday after delaying proceedings for 20-year-old Anthony Ray Jenkins of Partridge and 37-year-old Jason David Jenkins earlier this month.
