The 21-year-old avowed neo-Nazi who murdered a woman when he plowed his car into a crowd of counterprotesters last year at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., will likely spend the rest of his life in prison.
A jury in Charlottesville said Tuesday that James Alex Fields Jr. should be sentenced to life plus 419 years in prison and $480,000 in fines, for killing Heather Heyer and seriously injuring 35 others.
Judge Richard Moore will decide whether to sign off on the recommended sentence at a hearing on March 29.

If he were a paleo-Nazi they would really have thrown the book at him ...

I thought the story was he was caught up in the mayhem and tried to escape and nailed it running over this woman that was supposed to have died of a heart attack That is also what I heard. It is either not true, or the Jury didn't care what was the truth. I won't be surprised if either one or both are correct.

Thats what I remember reading. She wasnt actually hit by the car but had a heart attack in the aftermath.Not what the autopsy showed-- her aorta was cut by being hit by a car.
To: Trump20162020
I've seen multiple sources which said she died of a heart attack. One source claims this is her.

You obviously have not read the autopsy. Yes, Heather Heyer was obese (330 lbs.) However, her cause of death was being slammed by the car Fields was driving.
Her DNA was found on his car. She died of a ruptured aorta, about a dozen broken ribs, lacerated liver, a broken right leg and had a broken nose among many injuries from the attack.
Link to autopsy report.

Seems like it would be so much simpler to simply pull his fingers off one by one, then his arms, then repeat on his toes and legs. He obviously has no genitals so no need to bother with that.

I only hope this is overturned on appeal. Is a driver supposed to just sit there & have rioters smash up his car and drag him out and beat him?
The woman that had the heart attack was not hit by the car.

Of all that rotten luck.
Dying of a heart attack a spit second before you are struck by a car.

"She died of a ruptured aorta, about a dozen broken ribs, lacerated liver, a broken right leg and had a broken nose among many injuries from the attack."She will still have died more cleanly than the millions during CW2, that the Left so desperately wants.

Self defense, my butt.
I remember watching the videos of this POS back when it happened. It’s still there on Youtube if you care. He intentionally sped up and charged his car into a crowd. It was no accident, and the ‘tard was running around prior to this sporting a bunch of white power symbols, and a fine 1930s “german” hair style these ‘tards think is fashionable. I honestly wonder if these idiots are actually planted by the left and the Deep State to discredit honest conservatives.
Defending these aholes only helps the left. This jerk should have gotten the chair for first degree murder.
To: JayGalt
Perhaps I stand corrected on the woman not being hit as per the autopsy report above. Who knows whether the video I saw was cut & spliced by someone with an axe to grind? But I saw video of the people hitting the car and threatening the driver.

Ok. So the next child molester convicted in VA should get the death penalty, if not we riot.
The next black person convicted if killing a white person, death penalty, if not we riot.
Only fair, right? The next illegal convicted of killing any American, death penalty, if not we riot.
Idiot should pay for the woman's death, however I doubt he planned it out. Second degree murder, maybe. Negligent homicide or manslaughter, definitely.

In Virginia you have to serve at least 85 percent of the sentence, so he could be out as soon as 2374.
(Interesting how the numbers swap around like that.)

The woman that had the heart attack was not hit by the car. Apparently that isn't true. According to a link I saw above, her aorta was split into and she had broken ribs. She was apparently killed by being hit by the car.
At least so says the Coroner.

A chain smoking over weight lefty had a heart attack after a gang of lefties cornered this clueless fool in his car. According to the medical examiner, the cause of death was blunt force trauma. Her injuries included multiple lacerations, a broken femur, and a severed thoracic aorta.
Please stop posting fake news bullsh!t here.

I saw that after I posted. The story and photos I saw must have been spun. I would believe the coroner over a investigative report.
