Bah, faking a hate crime should be a hate crime.
It could be argued in multiple ways. First in this (and many) cases, there was a racially motivated crime committed against themselves. Secondly, scapegoating a target race encourages animosity and erodes community trust, which is exactly what a hate crime does.
Of course a law like that would never pass because only precious POC ever fake hate crimes.
At the bare minimum it should have been Incitement and Incitement to Cause Terrorism.

They only testified against him because it failed and they would have been caught by any competent police work.
