The Department of Justice said Wyatt admitted he targeted the woman because her race. โAlthough the First Amendment protects free speech, it doesnโt give anyone the right to obstruct the free exercise of religious beliefs by threatening violence or bodily harm. Prosecuting those who violate the civil rights of Michigan citizens is some of the most important work we do. This plea today is the first step towards justice for this innocent victim.โWyatt faces up to a year in prison.
