LAS VEGAS (AP) — A prosecutor has raised questions about the mental competency about a woman who is jailed on racial bias charges and other allegations after being accused of striking a 6-year-old Asian boy on the Las Vegas Strip.
Shelly Ann Hill told a judge Tuesday that she didn't understand how she could be charged with a hate crime.
