For the crime of striking "Unite the Right" organizer Jason Kessler, a Charlottesville, Va., jury says Jeffrey Winder must pay a fine of $1 — far short of the maximum possible penalty. Winder had appealed his original guilty finding, which included a 30-day jail sentence.
A judge had found Winder guilty of misdemeanor assault in February. After Winder appealed, a jury affirmed the guilty verdict this week but decided he should serve no jail time — and pay only a minimal fine.
"They clearly thought about it very sincerely," Winder's attorney, James Abrenio, said of the jury. He also praised the judge and prosecutor in the case, saying, "They were all kind."
Winder had faced a maximum sentence of a year in jail and a $2,500 fine.
The assault took place on Aug. 13, 2017, one day after Heather Heyer, 32, was killed by an alleged white supremacist who drove his car into a crowd of people who had taken to the streets in Charlottesville to oppose the white nationalist rally.

Completely ignoring he was an Obama supporting, Occupier who was bought and paid for by Soros.
Virginia may be another lost state.
Such a shame, it happened so quickly. We’re still reeling. It’s not like the generations-long loss of NJ, NY and just about place in the NE.
This was sudden.
Is he paying cash, by check, or by credit?
It was lost during the Bush Administration.
Good let them punch back. Its cheap!! lrt6’s just all start punching.
Regardless they’re pretty much then saying it’s OK to punch somebody you don’t agree with.
Virginia was flooded with illegals during the Bush Administration. ICE under Bush? "May I hold the door for you, amigo?"
Yeppers.
I’ve got $100 to spare.
Can I get 100 Antifa/BLM types to punch?
College town. They’ve all been taken over by loons.
He should have used a bike lock and he wouldn’t have had to pony up the single buck.
before that!!! I worked in Northern Va. in the 90’s, and all the illegals that flooded Manassas/ Centreville spread across to Woodbridge in a flash.
Then on to Dumfries and Triangle. I know it’s all Prince William County but still, at one time it was not all like this.
Bush won it both times, but the Democrats have won it the last 3 elections.
Kessler was pro Occupy Wall Street and a former Obamaite. He’s only there to link Trump to Nazis. His buddy, Richard Spencer is an atheist and a socialist. Punch him all you want.

Call your enemy a 'fascist, racist, bigot, homophobe, et al.' then the government will find your assault justifiable.
Yep!
This guy Kessler shows up out of nowhere. No conservative credentials (but a whole bunch of lefty ones) and suddenly, he's an "alt-right" leader!
Throws a rally where a bunch of straight-from-central-casting goose-stepping Nazis and "Deliverance" redneck hillbillies show up, all wearing MAGA ball caps, and someone gets killed.
Don't tell me this s**t wasn't organized by Soros.
Too many government employees living in Virginia. They escaped the DC hellhole only to ruin the state.
So if a punch costs a dollar, how much for a bullet hole?
All the government employees and sadly, the libs in Tidewater set the stage. Terry MacAwful was the final blow.
The state legislature is still Republican, but just barely.
