Last year in the supremacist rally on Charlottesville, a citizen James Alex Fields Jr. rammed his car into a gigantic mob of the counter-protestors. This led to the death of one (Heather Heyer) and injured dozens of others.
A couple of days ago, the Jury found him guilty and charged the 21-year-old with first-degree murder, leaving the scene at accident, malicious wounding and many other charges of aggravated malicious wounding.

Nina-Alice Antony was the trial prosecutor who kept on saying during the entire trial that Fields is an angry, aggressive and dangerous white nationalist. She claimed that this incident was planned. Three months back, Fields posted a picture on Instagram which showed protestors tossed up in the air. A car was shown which plowed, and this actually happened in Charlottesville.
But the defendant went on saying that this was all done in self-defense. Several other witnessed appeared in trail.
