Zachrey Harris will serve 20 days in jail and spend two years on probation for using racial slurs against a Nigerian student during an alcohol-fueled attack on University Hill last September, a Boulder district judge ruled Friday.
Harris, 23, was convicted in April of a single count of harassment, insults, taunts and ethnic intimidation. Prosecutors believe it was the first time in Colorado that someone was convicted of a bias-motivated crime based on words alone.
The guy is a dirtbag, but he’s not a criminal. At least not in this instance.
Isn’t this a case the ACLU would get behind?
