A jury in Oklaloosa County, Florida, acquitted a man of a hate crime after he was accused of attacking an Asian American man, breaking his jaw and shouting racial slurs at him.
Allan Chandler Muller, 36, was found not guilty on Wednesday of aggravated battery causing bodily harm or disability, with a hate crime enhancement, after a three-day trial, according to court documents. The decision follows a 2020 incident in which Muller was accused of shouting racial taunts at victim John Mealor, knocking him unconscious before kicking him in the face.
