On Thursday (Feb. 10), suspect Jarrod Powell was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on charges escalated to second-degree murder on hate crimes.
Powell pleaded not guilty to the charges in court. His bail is set at $3 million in cash or $9 million in bonds, and his next appearance is on April 11.

He also said That Ma Yaopan's family and community hope that Powell will be tried and convicted as soon as possible to ensure that he can no longer take to the streets to hurt anyone.
