Because they were ACQUITTED in state court.
From the article.
A Schuylkill County jury acquitted the teens last year of the most serious state charges against them, angering Hispanic leaders and civil rights groups.
Hate crimes statutes are "Innocence is no defense statutes". They are a way to wind around constitutional double jeopardy protections.
This means that the prosecution has all that the defense can produce, all the defense arguments. There is absolutly NO WAY these kids can be found anything but guilty.
They will be railroaded by a kangaroo court because they made hispanics angry.

Yes, that's the final gotcha from the feds. Hate crime; because it's the thought that counts
