By abc7NY
NEW YORK The Southern Poverty Law Center says its report is based on interviews with more than 70 Latino immigrants in recent months. It says that many of them reported being beaten with baseball bats.

The report was released Wednesday. It comes days after two teenagers pleaded not guilty in a hate crime attack on an Ecuadorean day laborer.

    The Aug. 14 attack happened near the Patchogue (PACH'-awg) train station where immigrant Marcelo Lucero was stabbed and killed in November.

    Seven teenagers have pleaded not guilty to hate crime and other charges in Lucero's death.

    County officials have said they are attentive to bias crimes.
