Two men from Shenandoah, Brandon Piekarsky and Derrick Donchak, are accused of beating an illegal immigrant in 2008 simply because he was Hispanic.

The prosecution rested its case at 2:15 p.m. Tuesday but not before calling some Shenandoah police officers to the stand to talk about an alleged cover-up.

Piekarsky and Donchak are accused of beating Luis Ramirez in Shenandoah on July, 12 2008 because Ramirez was Hispanic.

Ramirez died a few days after the beating.....
