Clarendon County Sheriff's Dept and NAACP discuss recent hate crimes

Police and NAACP leaders sat down to discuss the recent attacks in Clarendon County where victims were targeted because they were black and poor. The suspects indicated that due to the victims' race, law enforcement would say the crimes simply didn't matter.

The suspects are facing a possible sentence of 100 years in prison.
