Illinois Prosecutors Weigh Hate Crime Charges After Anti-LGBTQ+ Attack at McDonald’s
Following a brutal attack on Kady Grass at a Carpentersville McDonald’s, Kane County prosecutors are reviewing the possibility of adding hate crime charges to the existing aggravated battery charges against 19-year-old John Kammrad and a 17-year-old accomplice. Grass, who suffered a broken nose and other injuries, alleges the attack stemmed from her sexual orientation, with the assailants using anti-gay slurs before assaulting her.
