Good luck getting those charges to stick, Jeff.

Oh, they'll stick. At least some of them. Enough to put this guy behind bars for a very long time.

Even if he just panicked, or thought he was defending himself, he f-ck-d up big time. Add to that the fact that he was a "White Supremacy" or Nazi sympathizer, and his ass is grass—although I'm unsure how much of that will make it into the courtroom.

I don't know all the facts of this incident, but if I were on the jury...

...then it would be your job to determine those as yet unknown facts; thus, making pronouncements about what you would or wouldn't do as a juror "not knowing the facts" is nonsensical.

What you would or wouldn't do as a juror would hopefully depend on the very facts you established during the course of doing your civil duty.

Well, no.

I don't need to know all of the facts to understand that he drove his car into a crowd of people gathered in the middle of a freaking street.

I didn't say I'd definitely let the guy off, but based on this one simple fact I believe he already has a huge mitigating factor in his favor.
