A woman from Indiana has been given a sentence for attacking an 18-year-old student of Indiana University by stabbing them in the head with a folding knife between seven and 10 times while they were on a bus heading to school, solely because of the victim’s Asian background.
Billie Davis, aged 57, has been handed a six-year prison term by a federal court, along with three years of supervised release, for committing a hate crime at a federal level. Davis admitted guilt in September for deliberately causing harm to the victim with a knife due to the victim being of Chinese descent, as stated in a press release by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
