Jury finds James Fields found guilty on all 10 charges, including first degree murder of Heather Heyer.
Never forget: Trump said they were 'very fine people.'
During the 2017 racist rally in Charlottesville, white supremacist James Alex Fields Jr. deliberately drove his car into a crowd of counter-protesters, and killed two of the anti-racism demonstrators his vehicle slammed into. This is what a court ruled today, in finding Fields guilty on Friday of murdering one of those victims. Her name was Heather Heyer.

BREAKING: James Fields found guilty on all 10 counts, including 1st-degree murder, for ramming car into a group of peaceful counter-protesters following Charlottesville white nationalist rally in 2017.

From the Daily Beast:
Fields, 21, an Ohio native, was charged with first-degree murder last year following the hit-and-run attack, which killed 32-year-old Heather Heyer and injured dozens other anti-racism protesters who ran counter to the “Unite the Right” rally. He was found guilty on that top charge.
Fields was also found guilty on five counts of aggravated malicious wounding, three counts of malicious wounding, and one count of failing to stop at an accident involving a death.
All of this on top of the 30-count hate crime indictment brought against him by the Department of Justice.

James Fields’s fate is in the jury’s hands now, so let’s have a quick recap of the alt-right conspiracy theories and how this trial has exposed them all as desperate shams.

Thinking about today's closing arguments in VA v James Fields. The defense said, "Over the course of the past 1.5 yrs, there have been many misconceptions about the events of August 12, 2017 and who those ppl were. Hopefully this trial showed who those ppl were and y they came."
