HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The lawyer for a former Connecticut college student accused of smearing body fluids on her roommate's belongings said Tuesday that he doesn't expect authorities to file hate crime charges.

Attorney Tom Stevens' comments came after former University of Hartford student Brianna Brochu appeared before a state judge in Hartford. The 18-year-old Harwinton resident is charged with misdemeanor criminal mischief and breach of peace.
 
Brochu, who is white, wrote on Instagram about rubbing used tampons on her black roommate's backpack and putting her roommate's toothbrush "where the sun doesn't shine," according to West Hartford police. She also called her roommate "Jamaican Barbie," and wrote that she put moldy clam dip in her roommate's lotions and spit in her coconut oil.

5. Knowing nothing about either woman besides what's in this article,

the roommate looks like a sweet lady. And the accused has an ugly soul. I hope she is convicted and given the highest penalty the law allows. And I hope she is able to take that time and reflect on her life and her views.

Just think of being her boyfriend... don't piss her off.

Or any child or senior in her care.
