Charlottesville
yakov_a_jerkov — 08.12.2018 Вниманию всех тех, кто уже больше года объяснял мне, что Alex Fields, паренек, который на машине въехал в толпу counterprotesters во время "Unite the Right" ралли в Шарлоттсвилле, в августе 2017 года, действовал в рамках самообороны, не справился с управлением, спасаясь от этих самых counterprotesters и т.д., и что на суде это все выяснится.A man who drove his car into counterprotesters at a 2017 white nationalist rally in Virginia was convicted Friday of first-degree murder, a verdict that local civil rights activists hope will help heal a community still scarred by the violence and the racial tensions it inflamed nationwide.
A state jury rejected defense arguments that James Alex Fields Jr. acted in self-defense during a “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville on Aug. 12, 2017. Jurors also convicted Fields of eight other charges, including aggravated malicious wounding and hit and run.
Fields, 21, drove to Virginia from his home in Maumee, Ohio, to support the white nationalists. As a large group of counterprotesters marched through Charlottesville singing and laughing, he stopped his car, backed up, then sped into the crowd, according to testimony from witnesses and video surveillance shown to jurors.
