Still, Williams and her family want more. They want the case prosecuted as a hate crime, something authorities have so far stopped short of doing.
A coalition of civil rights organizations and black leaders are now uniting behind the Williams family, organizing a hate-crime awareness march for Nov. 3 in Charleston in hopes of pressuring prosecutors to act.
“This case deserves national concern and national outrage,” said Malik Shabazz, co-founder of Black Lawyers for Justice.
Prosecutors have backed off state hate-crime charges, saying they only carry an additional 10-year maximum penalty and could complicate their case. For one, hate crimes typically involve strangers, and Williams knew one of the suspects. She filed a charge of domestic assault against him in July.

This is so incredibly sad! By posting we hope we can bring her case to a wider attention, please share this and try and get her voice out there!
Alternative: It’s come to light that:
As of October 21, 2009 Megan Williams recanted her story saying none of the abuse or kidnapping took place. Former Logan County prosecutor Brian Abraham called the recantation absurd. Williams’ current attorney Byron L. Potts said Williams now claims that she lied in 2007 because she wanted to get back at her boyfriend, Bobby Brewster. Potts called on the prosecutors to reconsider the case. Brian Abraham, the prosecutor in the case, said his team realized in 2007 that they could not rely on statements by Williams who tended to embellish and exaggerate and built their case instead on statements by the defendants and on the physical evidence.[13]Williams was not charged with filing false charges.
This is, according to a Wikipedia article on the case. The claims were big claims and in all seriousness you have to questions how and why she made it all up…. Did she? She was never charged which is very suspicious considering the seriousness of such allegations…. This is pure speculation but after such serious allegations and such a story, to suddenly say it was all made up. It’s possible someone forced her hand with money or threats…. Pure speculation, of course!
What do you think?
