Fields, 21, was convicted on all counts, including first-degree murder in connection to Heyer's death and five counts of aggravated malicious wounding, three counts of malicious wounding and one hit and run count for injuring dozens of others with his vehicle.

As a rule, there’s no minimum time limit for premeditation. He simply had to form the intent prior to driving into the crowd. Going there with the intention isn’t necessary.

But some are political hacks and suck. Seen both good and bad on both sides of the prosecutor/public defender aisle. (Never been charged with anything, but sadly have friends who have.)

“After deliberating seven hours....”

That’s an hour to order lunch, an hour to wait for lunch to be delivered, an hour to eat lunch, an hour to get each other’s email addresses, an hour to take selfies, and hour for a bathroom break, and an hour to learn how to spell Guilty.

“Put him on Trump’s pardon list...”

Fields does not qualify for a presidential pardon.

If they were that “excellent” they would of been hired by a private law firm already.

Unfortunate. Hope they put him in a isolated cell. Put him in with the general population, with the white supremacist tag they’ve hung around his neck, and he’s in big trouble.

I think he may have hung the white supremacist tag around his own neck.

Just about any yahoo with a law degree can become a judge from what I've seen.

"Excellence" is a subjective term.

He was convicted for his political views. Not for any event that transpired that day.

Most Freepers are informed enough to know that no conspiracy is ever just a theory.

Conspiracies are the only way the left has ever done business.

Your thuggish traits have stood out here many times before.

The Medical Examiner did the autopsy and testified at the trial that she died of blunt force trauma and had a crushed aorta and broken leg.

You could of gone to the trial and given your exspurt testimony on behalf of the Jew hater. But the judge probably would have thrown your ignorant ass in jail for lying to the court.

Yahoos don’t get law degrees. Or pass the bar which is no piece of cake.

“Other than registering disapproval of his race, gender and political leanings via this verdict, did he actually intend to hit anyone?”

Yes. The video is pretty clear.
