Family files lawsuit over alleged Miss. hate crime - Yahoo! News: "JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The family of a black man who authorities say was run over by a white teenager in a truck filed a wrongful death lawsuit Tuesday over the alleged hate crime.
The lawsuit accuses seven white teenagers of setting out on June 26 after a night of partying to find a random black man to harass. The accusation tracks with police allegations that a group of teens were out looking for a black man to "mess with" when they found 49-year-old James Craig Anderson before dawn in the parking lot of a Jackson hotel.
Investigators have said two of the teens attacked Anderson before one of them climbed into a green Ford F-250 and ran the man down near the hotel on Ellis Avenue."
