DA won't file hate crime charge against Shasta Lake man

The Shasta County district attorney's office won't prosecute a Shasta Lake man who was suspected of attacking an 18-year-old Native American while yelling racial slurs at him last month, a decision his mother said stems from bigotry.

Despite requests from the teen's family members that Charles Petrisevac, 36, be prosecuted with a hate crime, Senior Deputy District Attorney Kelly Kafel said Wednesday that won't happen.
