The three suspects accused of brutally assaulting two Israeli-Americans outside a diner in San Jose, Northern California will not face hate crime charges in the attack, prosecutors revealed. The three men — Ramon Akoyans, 18, Roma Akoyans, 20, and Bruneil Chamaki, 32 — were hit with felony assault charges, while Chamaki faces an additional misdemeanor battery charge after they turned themselves in to the San Jose Police Department on Monday. Investigators had been looking at the attack as a potential hate crime after the Hebrew-speaking victims alleged their attackers used antisemitic language.
