Two marines accused of beating a gay man in downtown Savannah will not be charged with a hate crime, which is a felony.
Lance Corporal Christopher Stanzel and Corporal Keil Cronauer are charged with misdemeanor battery in the june attack of 26-year-old keiran daly in johnson square.
A police report says the attack apparently happened after the marines learned Kieran was homosexual and they thought he quote "winked at them."
The defense and prosecution agreed to delay a hearing earlier this month to allow time to review a video related to the case.
A rescheduled hearing is now set for September 9th.
