A Frederick County legislator is drafting legislation to expand the definition of a hate crime. This legislation comes on the heels of the fatal assault of a Mount Airy man by two teenage brothers last Friday at the Great Frederick Fairgrounds.

John Weed, 59, died after being punched by the two brothers.

Delegate Dan Cox, R-Frederick County, said he was disgusted after watching the attackers spit on the victim. Cox wants to expand the definition of a hate crime to further protect the dignity of individuals.
