    Unhappy Camper -- A [not so] fine time is had by James Fields
    .

    CHARLOTTESVILLE — Two forensic science experts testified in the Charlottesville murder trial of James Alex Fields Jr. on Monday to explain how a victim died after Fields drove his car into a crowd of counterprotesters shortly after a violent white nationalist rally came to a premature end.

    The expert witnesses said Heather Heyer died of blunt force injury to her torso and that blood samples collected from Fields’ Dodge Challenger matched Heyer’s DNA.

    The sixth day of Fields’ three-week state trial ended after the jury heard testimony from eight witnesses, including a University of Virginia police officer, a first responder who tried to save Heyer’s life and two crash victims.

    Marissa Blair-Martin, whose then-fiancé pushed her out of the way of the speeding vehicle, said the couple went downtown with another friend about noon on Aug. 12, 2017, to meet Heyer and protest the Unite the Right rally.

    Marcus Martin, now her husband, testified in court last week, describing the injuries he suffered from being struck by the car.

    Arriving downtown about an hour after police declared the rally to be an unlawful assembly because of fighting between the rallygoers and counterprotesters, the four joined a counterprotest march that Blair said appeared to be joyful, rather than antagonistic.

    “It felt like love,” she said.

    Fields’ car slammed into the marchers minutes later after the group had turned left onto a one-way street approaching the city’s downtown pedestrian mall.

    Capt. Steward “Nick” Barrell, of the Charlottesville Fire Department, told the jury that he arrived on the scene of the crash within two minutes of the initial report that a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle.

    Barrell said he hadn’t expected to find much, but he alerted his colleagues that it appeared to be a mass casualty incident after seeing what he estimated to be about 30 victims.

    Barrell knew Heyer was in trouble. She had a large contusion on her chest and a laceration on her leg. Her condition appeared to be consistent with cardiac arrest and other significant trauma, so Barrell called for her immediate evacuation, he said.

    “We thought there might be fractures and knew there was blood,” he said. “Outside of a hospital, that’s almost impossible to survive.”

    Jennifer Nicole Bowers, an assistant chief medical examiner for the state, said she conducted an autopsy on Heyer two days after the crash. She determined that Heyer died as a result of blunt force injury to her torso.

    Among other injuries, such as a broken femur and lacerations on her legs and back, Heyer’s thoracic aorta — the largest artery in the body — was severed.

    Kristin Van Itallie, with the Virginia Department of Forensic Science said she examined samples of blood collected from the scene of the crash and on Fields’ vehicle. She said two of those blood samples were identical to DNA collected from a swab of Heyer’s cheek.

    In his own testimony last week, a Charlottesville police detective described collecting the blood evidence. He said a sample taken from the windshield of Fields’ car appeared to be Heyer’s, based on the DNA tests.

    Judge Richard E. Moore said the prosecutors are expecting to rest their case early Tuesday afternoon.

    Fields is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Heyer, 32, and several other state counts related to the deadly incident. He also faces federal hate crime charges, for which he will be tried after the state trial has concluded. He could receive the death penalty in the federal case.

    Fields’ attorneys argue that he drove the vehicle into the crowd for fear of his life, in an act of self-defense. They are expected to begin presenting their case Tuesday afternoon.

      Day 6: Fields Jury Hears Details of Heather Heyer's Death[

      Day 6: Fields Jury Hears Details of Heather Heyer's Death

      .

      CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) -
      Experts and witnesses called to the stand by the commonwealth are taking jurors through the grim details in the James Alex Fields, Junior trial.

      [Click for coverage of Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, and Day 5]

      Heather Heyer had an "almost zero chance" of surviving her injuries, according to testimony Monday, December 3, from Charlottesville Fire Chief Captain Steward "Nick" Barrell. He told the court that CPR was attempted, but Barrell noted bruising across Heyer's chest that suggested she suffered a very serious injury. A Virginia State Police trooper had to also apply a tourniquet to a large laceration on Heyer's leg.

      Testimony in the Fields trial has largely featured first-hand accounts from people who were injured by the car attack on Fourth Street, by the intersection with Water Street. The 21-year-old Ohio man is charged with first-degree murder, five counts of aggravated malicious wounding, three counts of malicious wounding, and one count of failing to stop at an accident involving a death.

      Fields drove his Dodge Challenger into a stopped car and counterprotesters marching against the Unite the Right rally August 12, 2017. Heyer was killed, and dozens were injured as a result.

      Attorney John Hill has stated that Fields believed he was acting in self-defense.

      Assistant Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Jennifer Bowers specified that Heyer’s autopsy report concluded her cause of death was blunt-force injury to the chest. That report also found that Heyer's aorta artery split into two parts, that she suffered a distal femur fracture, abrasions and contusions on her lower extremity, and a pulmonary (lung) contusion from rib fractures.

      The commonwealth showed jurors the body-camera footage from University Police Officer Dean Dotts. The officer responded to the scene on Monticello Avenue, where Fields' Dodge Challenger was pulled over after the car attack. The footage depicted what was believed to be blood and flesh on Fields' car.

      DNA analyst Kristin Van Itallie testified that a DNA sample found on the windshield of the Dodge Challenger likely belonged to Heyer: She specified that there is a 1-in-7.2 billion chance that the DNA profile is not Heyer’s.

      Van Itallie added that Heyer cannot be eliminated as a contributor to DNA profiles developed from the passenger side-view mirror or front grill of the Dodge Challenger, or the roadway on Fourth Street.

      "Modern jurors exhibit what we call the ‘CSI Effect’: they want their TV scientific evidence behind everything. And when there isn't scientific evidence, some jurors sit there and say, ‘hey, wait a minute, how do I know this?’ So you just have to connect all those dots 14 different ways," said legal analyst Lloyd Snook.

      Jurors also saw footage recorded by Marissa Martin, who is married to Marcus Martin - who testified on Thursday. The witness talked about she, Martin and Heyer all joining the "happy people" marching on Water Street, and how they all started to head up Fourth Street. Martin began recording on her phone what was going on around her, which turned to "complete chaos," according to the witness: She heard tires screeching, and saw people knocked to the ground. At some point she became separated from Marcus, but found him on the ground.

      Alexis Morris and Thomas Baker recounted to the court Monday how they separately ended up with the marching counterprotesters. They described the group walking along Water Street that day as “friendly-looking” and celebratory.

      Morris recalled hearing a big "boom" and saw a flash of light. She then realized her legs were broken, and she couldn't find her daughter. Her legs had to be reset with a permanent rod and pins.

      Baker said he heard thumps, screaming, and looked up to see a car coming at him. He was directly hit in his lower half, and then hit his head on the windshield before getting sent over the top of the car and landing on the road. The commonwealth reviewed to the jury photos of the incident with Baker in them. The witness said the injuries have permeated every aspect of his life, that the range of motion in his hip is dramatically altered and he can no longer comfortably run or jump.

      There was also more testimony Monday from eye witnesses: Peter Jasiurkowski said that he and his friend passed a Dodge Challenger creeping down Fourth Street. According to the witness, the car turned on reverse lights, but soon he heard a loud acceleration. Jasiurkowski turned and saw the Challenger speed down Fourth St. He said he and his friend stood in shock, then saw the car come back up the street in reverse, saying the Dodge was traveling as fast as it was going before.

      Melissa Elliott affirmed the account given by her boyfriend, Michael Webster - who testified on Thursday. The couple noticed the group of people who were filling up the intersection of Water Street and Fourth Street, and the Dodge Challenger slowly reversing back up toward Market Street. They heard an engine rev, and Elliott saw the Dodge speed forward toward Water Street. Elliot said Webster ran to help people who had been hit. She then saw the Dodge quickly backing up again toward Market St., telling jurors that she feared the car was getting ready for another attack.

      Court ended for the day just before 3 p.m. Friday. Judge Richard Moore said the prosecution is confident it will rest its case before lunch Tuesday, December 4.

        Defense begins to present its case at James Fields' murder trial in Charlottesville

        By C. SUAREZ ROJAS Richmond Times-Dispatch
        Dec. 4, 2018 8:00pm

        CHARLOTTESVILLE — James Alex Fields Jr. vacillated between remorse and contempt in the months after driving his car into a crowd of people protesting a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville last year.

        He apologized to the first officer who caught up with him on Aug. 12, 2017, after he sped from the scene and, according to body camera footage played in court Tuesday, said: “I didn’t want to hurt people. I thought they were attacking me.”

        He hyperventilated for nearly two minutes during an interrogation after investigators told him he had killed one person and hurt numerous others. But in a jailhouse phone call to his mother earlier this year, Fields called the people he injured “terrorists” and “communists.”

        He showed no sympathy for Heather Heyer, the Charlottesville resident who was killed, as he and his mother talked last December about how Heyer’s own mother, Susan Bro, was coping with the tragedy.

        “She’s one of those anti-white communists,” Fields said of Bro. “It doesn’t matter. It’s not up for questioning. She’s the enemy.”

        Fields, 21, of Maumee, Ohio, is charged with first-degree murder and other crimes for killing Heyer, a 32-year-old paralegal, and injuring dozens of others in the wake of the Unite the Right rally.

        The defense began presenting its case Tuesday afternoon, calling on various police officers who witnessed Fields’ arrest. They said he appeared to show remorse and was cooperative.

        Prosecutors say Fields drove into the crowd of counterprotesters out of anger because of the violence earlier in the day. The white nationalists Fields supported — who were marching in part to protest the removal of Confederate statues — clashed violently with counterprotesters until police declared the event an unlawful assembly and forced the crowds to leave.

        Fields’ attorneys say their client, who had driven from Ohio to attend the rally, shouldn’t be convicted because he feared for his life at the time of the crash and was acting in self-defense.

        Jurors learned Tuesday that Fields sent his mother a picture of Adolf Hitler and a text message prior to the rally, after she pleaded with him to be careful.

        “We’re not the one [sic] who need to be careful,” he wrote.

        Prosecutors argue that the text shows Fields planned to engage in violence before he ever arrived in Charlottesville.

        .


        .

        Defense attorneys attempted to suppress the message Fields sent to his mother, arguing that it would be unfair to Fields and have limited value in determining his intent. But Judge Richard E. Moore said it could help the jury understand what motivated Fields to drive his car into the crowd.

        Brant Meyer, an FBI analyst who helped investigators by collecting data from Fields’ social media accounts, testified Tuesday about another image that prosecutors say reflected Fields’ mindset.

        The online image, posted publicly to Instagram, shows a car slamming into a group of people with overlaid text that says: “You have the right to protest, but I’m late for work.”

        Four days earlier, Fields sent a variation of the meme to a friend in an Instagram private message and wrote: “When I see protesters blocking.”




        Fields' Instagram Account posting
        .

        Fields sent those images about three months before his own car plowed into the Charlottesville protesters.

        After the prosecution wrapped up its case after four days of witness testimony, Moore dismissed a defense motion to throw out the first-degree murder charge and eight counts of malicious wounding against Fields.

        “I’m not sure what else his intent could have been by driving [into the crowd] at that speed,” Moore said while the jury was out of the courtroom.

        Moore said evidence presented over the last week and testimony about how Fields idled his vehicle after backing the car away from the crowd, when he could have left the scene unimpeded, could be enough to determine his guilt.

        “His explanation that he felt threatened is contrary to the evidence of the case,” Moore said.

        Moore told the jury that the defense plans to call more witnesses Wednesday and Thursday. Closing arguments and jury deliberation, he said, could begin Thursday afternoon.

        Fields also faces federal hate crime charges, for which he will be tried after the state trial has concluded. In the federal case, he could receive the death penalty if convicted.

          CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Defense attorneys for James Alex Fields, Junior are presenting their case to jurors in Charlottesville Circuit Court.

          The commonwealth rested Tuesday, December 4, having presented its case over the course of four days. Throughout the morning and early afternoon, the commonwealth gave jurors new insights into Fields, the man who was behind the wheel of the car attack in downtown Charlottesville on August 12, 2017.

          [Click for coverage of Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, and Day 6]

          The commonwealth played police body-camera footage from Charlottesville Police Detective Steven Young – who also testified on Friday - while he interacted with Fields at the scene of his arrest on Monticello Avenue. Fields repeatedly said "I'm sorry" during the video while he was being searched. When he is asked why, Fields said "I don't know... I didn't want to hurt anyone... I thought they were attacking me." Fields later said he thought antifa members were attacking him.

          Jurors also saw a detective reading Fields his Miranda rights. After hearing of many people being injured and one casualty on Fourth Street, Fields appears to hyperventilate for several minutes before calming down.

          Later, Fields was taken to the jail and questioned by a magistrate. Fields told authorities he was trying to go home and saw crowds forming around cars in front of him. He didn't know what to do and said he got a feeling he didn't know how to describe. Fields did not elaborate further in the video.

          The nine women and seven men on the jury - four of whom are alternates - have mostly heard testimony from victims of the car attack that occurred hours after the Unite the Right rally was held in downtown Charlottesville.

          Fields, who participated in the white nationalist rally, drove his Dodge Challenger into a group of counterprotesters marching onto Fourth Street. Thirty-two-year-old Heather Heyer was killed, and dozens were injured. The defendant is charged with first-degree murder, five counts of aggravated malicious wounding, three counts of malicious wounding, and one count of failing to stop at an accident involving a death.

          Tuesday, the jury saw text messages Fields had sent his mother, which included a picture of Adolf Hitler and "We're not the one [sic] who need to be careful" before the Unite the Right rally.

          The commonwealth also played a portion of two phone calls made by Fields from jail to his mother:


          * On March 21, 2018, Fields described the crowd at Fourth and Water streets to her as a violent group of terrorists and claimed the crowd was waving ISIS flags.

          * In a call on December 7, 2017, Fields said that Heather Heyer's mother was slandering his name. He called her an "anti-white communist" and said "she's the enemy."

          .

          Brent Meyer, a specialist with the FBI, investigated posts Fields made to social media. Jurors saw posts Fields made to his Instagram account in May 2017 that show a car colliding with bicyclists and text saying, "YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROTEST BUT IM LATE FOR WORK," as well as a private message of the same image with text saying, "PROTEST BUT IM LATE FOR WORK!!"

          Meyer said he was not able to determine if Fields was the original creator of those meme images.

          The defense called four members of law enforcement to the witness stand Tuesday, starting with Detective Jeremy Carper - he had also testified on Friday. Carper told the court that he did not find any weapons, helmets, or shields in Fields’ Dodge Challenger during his investigation. Photos taken by police of the car interior were shared with the jury.

          Officer Tammy Shifflett was assigned to direct traffic at the intersection of Fourth and Market streets on August 12, 2017. She testified that an angry and violent crowd approached her after police had declared an unlawful assembly in then-Emancipation Park – which was around 11:40 a.m.

          Shifflett said she called for assistance and tried to break up fights, but that she began feeling the effects of tear gas. Her commander instructed her to leave the location on Market Street. The officer said she was not aware if a replacement was going to be sent, but the traffic barrier was still in place when she left.

          During cross examination, Shifflett told the commonwealth that there was no crowd on Market Street at the time of the car attack – which occurred around 1:30 p.m. - and nobody was at the intersection of Fourth and Market streets.

          Deputy Paul Critzer of the Charlottesville Sheriff’s Office said he pursued Fields from Market Street with his lights and sirens on. The deputy said Fields seemed calm when he eventually stopped on Monticello Ave. He also said Fields stated, "I'm sorry" while being detained.

          Fred Kirschnick of the Albemarle County Sheriff's Office responded to the scene on Monticello Ave., as well. He said Fields appeared calm and wide-eyed, and was cooperative.

          Judge Moore told jurors that they should expect to hear from seven or eight witnesses Wednesday, and one more on Thursday. The judge said closing arguments could be presented Thursday afternoon.

              .

              Witnesses called by defense lawyers to testify Wednesday in the murder trial of James Alex Fields Jr. focused on his demeanor, cellphone use and movement through Charlottesville in the hour before he drove his car into a crowd of people who were protesting a white nationalist rally he came to attend.

              Two people who were with Fields less than 30 minutes before the alleged car attack said he appeared calm then, and had made plans to have lunch with another rallygoer that afternoon.

              Sarah Bolstad and Hayden Calhoun met Fields as they were trying to leave the city that afternoon.

              “He didn’t seem like the kind of person who would do that — or who was about to do something like that,” Bolstad said.

              Fields, 21, is charged with first-degree murder and other offenses for the Aug. 12, 2017, crash that killed 32-year-old Heather Heyer and injured dozens of others. His attorneys concede that Fields was driving the car as it sped into the crowd. But they say it was self-defense because Fields feared for his life, not a planned attack on protesters opposing his white nationalist ideology.

              A forensic expert called to testify this week said Heyer died of blunt force injury to her torso. About 35 other people, eight of whom were called by the prosecution to testify, were injured in the crash.

              Bolstad and Calhoun said they left the downtown area where the rally was to be held after street violence that morning led to authorities declaring the event an unlawful assembly.

              As they walked with a large group of people to another city park where rallygoers were gathering, they were told a state of emergency had been declared and that they could not enter the park.

              They said Fields and another person, Joshua Matthews, approached them and suggested they walk back downtown to Matthews’ truck together. Fields then proposed going to his car because it was closer.

              Calhoun said Fields and Matthews invited them to have lunch as Fields dropped them off at their vehicle, but they declined because he wanted to leave Charlottesville.

              A few minutes later, after Fields dropped off Matthews at a parking garage downtown, Fields used Google Maps on his phone to guide him back to his hometown of Maumee, Ohio.

              Phil DeBue, a private digital forensic analyst who was called to testify Wednesday, said data retrieved from Fields’ phone shows he requested those directions at 1:39 p.m., less than five minutes before police were called to the scene of the car crash.

              DeBue said there were two sets of directions generated on the phone at that time, and then a third set shortly after, but without an exact time stamp. The street Fields was supposed to take was closed at the time.

              DeBue said the data show the turn-by-turn directions for his destination, but did not show what path he took.

              While Fields’ lawyers argue that he cannot be guilty of planning an attack because of the evidence from his cellphone’s data and the testimony about plans he had been making for later in the day, premeditation has a low bar in Virginia.

              In an interview last week, Charlottesville attorney Lloyd Snook, who is not involved in the case, said premeditation can exist for just “a split second.” Judge Richard E. Moore said Tuesday that there also may be enough evidence to prove that Fields acted with malice instead of fear.

              So far, no one has testified about what Fields experienced in his car that could have made him feel unsafe.

              The defense on Wednesday also called Edmund Davidson, a knifemaker from Goshen who attended the rally, to describe the chaotic and dangerous scene downtown.

              Davidson said a friend invited him to the rally, and he agreed to go to protest the city’s plans to remove the statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. He said he did not expect to encounter the violence that led authorities to cancel the rally and disperse the hundreds of people there.

              Davidson said he felt trapped in the park where the rally was being held, as police began pushing people out and counterprotesters remained in the streets.

              “I’m cornered,” he said, recalling the scene. “I was literally cornered.”

              He said a counterprotester with a sign reading “This machine kills fascists” also frightened him.

              Clifford Thomas, a senior trooper and Virginia crash reconstructionist, testified Wednesday that Fields’ vehicle reached a top speed of 28 mph before he hit a silver Toyota Camry that was in the middle of the crowd.

              He said he was not able to determine what speed the car was going when it struck the crowd, but it appeared to be traveling at 23 mph upon impact with the Camry.

              Fields’ attorneys plan to call two more witnesses on Thursday.

              Moore said closing arguments in the trial could be finished by the end of Thursday.

                CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Attorneys for James Alex Fields, Junior are expected to rest their case Thursday, December 6.

                [Click for coverage of Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, and Day 7.]

                The defense called six people to the witness stand Wednesday, December 5. Attorneys for the 21-year-old Ohio man are expected to call two more people to testify inside Charlottesville Circuit Court Thursday morning.

                Fields is accused of killing Heather Heyer and injuring dozens of counterprotesters in a car attack on Fourth Street August 12, 2017. He is charged with first-degree murder, five counts of aggravated malicious wounding, three counts of malicious wounding, and one count of failing to stop at an accident involving a death.

                Fields participated in the Unite the Right rally, and believes he was acting in self-defense when he drove into people who were against the white-nationalist event. The court previously heard a portion of a jailhouse phone call where Fields described the crowd on Fourth Street as terrorists.

                Jurors saw photos taken by Edmund Davidson, who also took the witness stand Wednesday. His photos included pictures of armed police throughout the area of the rally and on rooftops. Fields could be seen in some of Davidson’s pictures. There were also pictures of protesters bleeding and being treated for pepper spray.

                Davidson told the court he thought counterprotesters might kill him after he saw one holding a sign saying "This Machine Kills Fascists."

                Authorities declared an unlawful assembly in the area of then-Emancipation Park before noon that day, at which point Davidson moved to the Downtown Mall.

                Philip DePue, a digital forensic expert, examined data on Fields’ phone. His testimony went over two routes Google Maps suggested to Fields around 1:39 p.m. in order for him to get back to Ohio.

                During cross examination, DePue stated that none of the suggested routes directed Fields to drive down Fourth Street toward Water Street.

                Virginia State Police Trooper Clifford Thomas, a crash reconstructionist, calculated that Fields’ Dodge Challenger was going 28 miles-per-hour before impacting the crowd on Fourth Street.

                Thomas said the Challenger was going 23 miles-per-hour when it then struck a parked Toyota Camry on the side of the street. The impact caused the pickup truck to travel at a speed of 17.1 miles-per-hour in 160 milliseconds.

                Also called to testify were Hayden Calhoun and Sara Bolstad, a couple who attended the Unite the Right rally together. Calhoun recounted how they met Fields and a fourth person - later identified as Joshua Matthews during Bolstad's testimony. The four of them stuck together, and Calhoun said Fields later invited the couple to go get lunch.

                Both witnesses described Fields as calm, and Bolstad said she did not feel uneasy around him. She said they later decided to go home instead of staying in Charlottesville because Calhoun's mother called and was "freaking out."

                Calhoun said he contacted the FBI several days later, after learning that Fields was involved in the incident on Fourth Street.

                Charlottesville Police Detective Steven Young was also called back to the witness stand. Young went over much of the same evidence brought forth by the commonwealth Tuesday regarding data pulled from Fields' phone.

                Court was initially delayed for about two hours Wednesday. Judge Richard Moore announced that something was said in the presence of a juror Tuesday that needed to be followed-up on. The judge said it did not affect the trial.

                Judge Moore said at the end of the Wednesday’s proceedings that he hopes to move into closing arguments after the courts’ lunch break Thursday.

                  Day 9: Closing statements given at James Fields' murder trial in Charlottesville; jury to begin deliberations Friday

                  By C. SUAREZ ROJAS Richmond Times-Dispatch


                  https://www.richmond.com/news/virgin...521acb6b5.html

                  CHARLOTTESVILLE — In closing statements Thursday, Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Nina-Alice Antony sought to undermine the defense’s argument that James Alex Fields Jr. thought he was under attack and felt sorry for harming the protesters he struck with his car.

                  Defense attorney Denise Lunsford said videos of Fields apologizing to police and weeping in an interrogation room after learning that someone died in the crash show that he was genuinely sorry, but Antony said Fields did not have to drive his car into the crowd of people.

                  “He said he was scared of people attacking him, but we can look at that — there was no evidence that shows he is credible,” Antony said.

                  Fields, 21, is charged with first degree-murder in the Aug. 12, 2017, death of Heather Heyer. The Ohio man also faces eight counts of malicious wounding for injuries he caused to others in the incident.

                  The jury will begin its deliberations Friday morning.

                  The defense has argued that Fields feared for his life after attending the violent Unite the Right rally that day. Police declared the white nationalist gathering an unlawful assembly after an hour of pitched street violence consumed the downtown park where the rally was being held to protest the planned removal of a Confederate statue.

                  The jury must now determine whether Fields acted with malice and intended to kill and harm the protesters. Lunsford asked the jury to not find him guilty of anything more than voluntary manslaughter and unlawful wounding.

                  Antony noted that several witnesses testified that the counterprotesters’ march was joyful and markedly different from the scene earlier in the day.

                  Lunsford, however, said Fields and others remained cautious around the counterprotesters and were worried about the potential for further violence.

                  “There were two groups of people: peaceful, happy people and angry, violent protesters,” she said. “That difference is sometimes in the eye of the beholder.”

                  Three months before the rally, Fields posted to his Instagram account an image depicting a car slamming into a group of people with overlaid text that says: “You have the right to protest, but I’m late for work.”

                  Antony, the prosecutor, said the image gives the jury a “glimpse into his mind” the moment Fields saw the crowd of marching protesters as they approached Charlottesville’s downtown pedestrian mall.

                  “He was presented with an opportunity,” she said. “He seized it to make his Instagram post a reality.”

                  Antony said the Instagram post and an “almost sinister” text he sent to his mother the night before the rally, paired with an image of Adolf Hitler, are evidence that he held ill will against the counterprotesters.

                  In response to his mother counseling him to be careful, he replied: “We’re not the ones who need to be careful.”

                  Lunsford, however, argued that Fields was simply a brash 20-year-old, and that offensive memes and bravado are not necessarily evidence of bad intentions.

                  She noted that one of the defense’s witnesses, Edmund Davidson, said he saw a counterprotester at the rally carrying a sign that said, “This machine kills fascists.”

                  “Was that person thinking of doing that that day, or was he trying to convey another message?” said Lunsford, adding that Fields did not come to Charlottesville with any weapons or equipment.

                  While photos of Fields from that day showed that he at one point carried a shield and chanted homophobic slurs alongside members of a white nationalist group, Lunsford said Fields, like many others, was carried away by the tension.

                  Earlier in the day, one of the final witnesses in the case, Dwayne Dixon, a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill professor who came to protest the rally, told the jury that he saw a vehicle similar to Fields’ Dodge Challenger circle a downtown park where counterprotesters were gathered sometime between 12:45 and 1:15 p.m.

                  After seeing it a third time, Dixon forcefully told the driver to “get the f--- out of here,” he said.

                  Dixon admitted to writing a now-deleted Facebook post in January describing the interaction, saying he “shooed” away Fields while holding a rifle sometime before the fatal car ramming two blocks away.

                  While the Facebook post has been the subject of conspiracy theories that claim Dixon chased Fields into the crowd, the prosecutor said Dixon may have mistaken Fields’ vehicle for someone else’s.

                  Witnesses who have testified in the case said Fields reversed away from the counterprotesters and was idling before hurtling toward the crowd. Fields told police that he thought there were people who were going to attack him from behind, but Antony said there has been no evidence to support that claim.

                  The prosecutor said the remorse that the defendant appeared to show in statements to the police may be misplaced or disingenuous, because recordings of two jailhouse phone calls between Fields and his mother show that he had little sympathy for the victims, as he angrily referred to them as “terrorists” and “communists.”

                  “Weigh the credibility of his statements. Think about that in light of the evidence and ask if they’re credible,” Antony said to the jury. “We know there was no one behind him.”

                    CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Jurors are entering the deliberations phase in the James Alex Fields, Junior trial.

                    [Click for coverage of Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7 and Day 8.]

                    Defense attorneys rested Thursday, December 6, after calling their final two witnesses to the stand. Attorneys for the 21-year-old Ohio man have been presenting their case to the 16-member jury inside Charlottesville Circuit Court since Tuesday, December 4.

                    During closing arguments, Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Nina-Alice Antony reiterated that the case is about intent. She told the jury it is time to answer the central question, "What was in his [Fields’] mind when he flew into the crowd?"

                    Fields is accused of killing Heather Heyer and injuring dozens of counterprotesters in a car attack on Fourth Street August 12, 2017. He is charged with first-degree murder, five counts of aggravated malicious wounding, three counts of malicious wounding, and one count of failing to stop at an accident involving a death.

                    Antony talked to the jury about malice, intent, and premeditation during the commonwealth's closing argument. She said Fields used his Dodge Challenger as a weapon, that he acted deliberately when he accelerated into the crowd, and that he meant to do them harm.

                    Fields had participated in the Unite the Right rally, and believes he was acting in self-defense when he drove into the counterprotesters. The commonwealth said there was no evidence anyone harassed Fields that day, and that no one was near Fields before he drove into the crowd.

                    Antony said that according to the defense witnesses, Fields was calm on August 12 and nothing was wrong with him. Three people who were with Fields before the car attack - Joshua Matthews, Hayden Calhoun, and Sara Bolstad - all testified that Fields was calm and had invited them to go get lunch.

                    On the matter of intent, Antony explained that intent can be any amount of time. She said surveillance video shows Fields' intent when he reversed on Fourth Street - away from the crowd - and then sped forward. She said his intent was not to kill Heyer specifically, but to kill any member of the group. On Fourth Street, Fields "seizes his opportunity to make Instagram post a reality."

                    Defense Attorney Denise Lunsford closed by asking the jury to consider whether Fields acted with actual malice.

                    Lunsford argued that Fields was 20 years old at the time of the Unite the Right rally. She said, "A meme is not an expression of intent, necessarily." The defense was likely referencing the image Fields posted to his own Instagram account.

                    The defense finished up by saying that Fields acted out of fear, rather than hatred and malice. Lunsford asked the jury to find Fields guilty on the lesser charges of manslaughter and unlawful wounding.

                    Antony spoke to the jury a final time about how sometimes memes do mean what they mean, and that Fields turned the meme he posted on social media into a reality. She then showed the jury a photo of Fields during the incident and said that this is "not the face of someone who is scared."

                    The jury of seven woman and five men will begin deliberations at 9:30 a.m. Friday, December 7. The four alternate jurors were dismissed Thursday.

                    Court was delayed earlier when Matthews failed to show up on time. The Augusta County man eventually got into contact with authorities, and took the witness stand Thursday afternoon. Following his testimony, Judge Richard Moore ordered that Matthews be detained for contempt of court for failure to appear on time, telling the witness, "I'll deal with you later on today."

                    Dwayne Dixon, a member of the militia-style Redneck Revolt, was called also called to testify Thursday. He testified that he saw a “gray, muscle car” around the downtown area several times.

                    Dixon said he did not witness the crash, because he was being interviewed at the corner of Fourth and Jefferson streets. The witness was carrying an AR-15 rifle that day, but testified he kept it “slung, muzzled-down.” He has claimed previously that he used his gun to scare off a man he believes was Fields. During his testimony, Dixon said he could not see the driver because the car had tinted windows.

                    The commonwealth called Steven Young, a detective with the Charlottesville Police Department, back to the witness stand after the defense rested. Young went over Fields' geo-location information from Facebook to show a timeline of the defendant's movements from that day. It appears some of those timestamps do not support Dixon's statements about where he saw the "gray, muscle car."

                      A number of us onlookers know what happened.

                      Was the jury allowed to find out the whole truth from the judge and the fake lying jewsmedia accounts? Of course not!

                      There is a whole nation of the aggrieved who trust not the media and judicial authorities and who will no longer show up in the open to be set up.

                      When that happens then it will be impossible to regain control over those White People you have abused, enslaved and murdered.

                      By the way, it seems that I have been already banned for a comment which was deleted. So much for a "free" and "unbiased" press.

                      I have no doubt that this particular fuktard stupid enough to play Z&Z (ZOGbots & ZOGtards) shall be coonvicted in this Shoah Trial and promptly locked away in order to detract from the reality of this Charlottesville Incident as nothing more than an upgraded Greensboro Incident (Nov. 1979) in which ZOGtards lead by ZOGbots were abandoned in Niggertown/Injun Cuntree were set uip in a kill-or-be-killed situation and when they defend theysselfs will endure years of trial in ZOGkorts or until they is found guilty.

                      This particular tard shoahed up and them when it was trying to leave was attacked by local and trucked-in antifa. Some fat whigger antifa landwhale mudshark crack running out in the middle of the street chasing "Not-sees" either got runnt-over or simply expires of a heart attack in the August Virginia heat.

                        CHARLOTTESVILLE — The Ohio man who drove his car into counterprotesters at the white nationalist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville last summer was convicted Friday of first-degree murder, a verdict that local civil rights activists hope will help heal a community still scarred by the violence and the racial tensions it inflamed nationwide.

                        A state jury rejected defense arguments that 21-year-old James Alex Fields Jr. acted in self-defense. Jurors also convicted Fields of eight other charges, including aggravated malicious wounding and hit-and-run.

                        Fields drove to Virginia from his home in Maumee, Ohio, to support the white nationalists on Aug. 12, 2017. As a large group of counterprotesters marched through Charlottesville singing and laughing, he stopped his car, backed up, then sped into the crowd, according to testimony from witnesses and video surveillance shown to jurors.

                        Prosecutors told the jury that Fields was angry after seeing violent clashes between the two sides earlier in the day. The violence prompted police to shut down the rally before it even officially began.

                        Heather Heyer, a 32-year-old paralegal and civil rights activist, was killed, and nearly three dozen others were injured. The trial featured emotional testimony from survivors who described devastating injuries and long, complicated recoveries.

                        After the verdict was read in court, some of those who were injured embraced Heyer’s mother, Susan Bro. She left the courthouse without commenting. Fields’ mother, Samantha Bloom, who is disabled, left the courthouse in a wheelchair without commenting.

                        A group of about a dozen local civil rights activists stood in front of the courthouse after the verdict with their right arms raised in the air.

                        “They will not replace us! They will not replace us!” they yelled, in a response to the chants heard on the eve of the 2017 rally, when some white nationalists shouted: “You will not replace us!” and “Jews will not replace us.”

                        Charlottesville City Councilor Wes Bellamy said he hopes the verdict “allows our community to take another step toward healing and moving forward.”

                        Charlottesville civil rights activist Tanesha Hudson said she sees the guilty verdict as the city’s way of saying, “We will not tolerate this in our city.”

                        “We don’t stand for this type of hate. We just don’t,” she said.

                        White nationalist Richard Spencer, who had been scheduled to speak at the Unite the Right rally, described the verdict as a “miscarriage of justice.”

                        “I am sadly not shocked, but I am appalled by this,” he told The Associated Press. “He was treated as a terrorist from the get-go.”

                        Spencer had questioned whether Fields could get a fair trial since the case was “so emotional.”

                        “There does not seem to be any reasonable evidence put forward that he engaged in murderous intent,” Spencer said.

                        Spencer popularized the term “alt-right” to describe a fringe movement loosely mixing white nationalism, anti-Semitism and other far-right extremist views. He said he doesn’t feel any personal responsibility for the violence that erupted in Charlottesville.

                        “Absolutely not,” he said. “As a citizen, I have a right to protest. I have a right to speak. That is what I came to Charlottesville to do.”

                        The far-right rally in August 2017 had been organized in part to protest the planned removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. Hundreds of Ku Klux Klan members, neo-Nazis and other white nationalists — emboldened by the election of President Donald Trump — streamed into the college town for one of the largest gatherings of white supremacists in a decade. Some dressed in battle gear.

                        Afterward, Trump inflamed tensions even further when he said “both sides” were to blame, a comment some saw as a refusal to condemn racism.

                        According to one of his former teachers, Fields was known in high school for being fascinated with Nazism and idolizing Adolf Hitler. Jurors were shown a text message he sent to his mother days before the rally that included an image of the notorious German dictator. When his mother pleaded with him to be careful, he replied: “We’re not the ones who need to be careful.”

                        During one of two recorded phone calls Fields made to his mother from jail in the months after he was arrested, he told her he had been mobbed “by a violent group of terrorists” at the rally. In another, Fields referred to the mother of the woman who was killed as a “communist” and “one of those anti-white supremacists.”

                        Prosecutors also showed jurors a meme Fields posted on Instagram three months before the rally in which bodies are shown being thrown into the air after a car hits a crowd of people identified as protesters. He posted the meme publicly to his Instagram page and sent a similar image as a private message to a friend.

                        But Fields’ lawyers told the jury that he drove into the crowd on the day of the rally because he feared for his life and was “scared to death” by earlier violence he had witnessed. A video of Fields being interrogated after the crash showed him sobbing and hyperventilating after he was told that a woman had died and others were seriously injured.

                        The jury will reconvene Monday to recommend a sentence. Under Virginia law, jurors can recommend from 20 years to life in prison on the first-degree murder charge.

                        Fields is eligible for the death penalty if convicted of separate federal hate crime charges. No trial has been scheduled yet.

                          .

                          CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Sixteen months after swastika-toting white supremacists swarmed the streets of Charlottesville, one of the demonstrators was convicted of first-degree murder Friday by a jury that found he intentionally drove his car into a crowd of counterprotesters, killing one woman and injuring nearly 40 others.

                          James Fields Jr., 21, faces up to life in prison for the death of Heather Heyer, 32, in a case that has stirred soul-searching in a city that prides itself on being a liberal bastion. Mr. Fields, who traveled from Ohio to attend the Unite the Right rally, was also convicted of nine other charges, including aggravated malicious wounding and leaving the scene of a fatal accident.

                          Friday’s verdict was cheered by those fighting racial and religious hatred and provided some closure in a case that cast a national spotlight on Charlottesville, the scene chosen by racists and anti-Semites to rally for their cause, near a Confederate monument that some city leaders were trying to remove.

                          “This verdict sends a strong message to others that hate has no place in our society,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, the chief executive of the Anti-Defamation League.

                          The attack, in which Mr. Fields sped down a narrow street teeming with counterprotesters, was a deadly coda to a weekend of white nationalist events in Charlottesville last August, which included a pre-rally march with torches to the statue of Thomas Jefferson on the campus of the University of Virginia. The rally was marked by violent clashes between counterprotesters and white nationalists, some of whom were convicted earlier this year.

                          Many of Mr. Fields’s victims had confronted ralliers earlier that day and were on their way home, celebrating the fact that authorities had shut down the event, when they were struck by his Dodge Challenger.

                          Mr. Fields showed no emotion and sat subdued between his lawyers as a clerk read the unanimous verdicts and polled the jury of seven women and five men, including one African-American man. At one point, Mr. Fields glanced back toward his mother, who, dressed in black and sitting in a wheelchair, sobbed quietly into a tissue. Judge Richard E. Moore of Charlottesville Circuit Court affirmed the verdicts, but made no comment.

                          His victims sobbed, hugged, and softly cheered inside the crowded courtroom. Several joined in a group hug around Star Peterson, a single mother whose legs and back were broken in the crash. Constance Paige Young, who was also injured, said the guilty verdicts and a coming federal hate crime trial would “set a precedent that this white nationalist violence that has been present since this nation’s inception is no longer tolerable.”

                          The nine-day trial featured days of emotional testimony from victims who were seriously injured in the crash, including Ms. Peterson and Marcus Martin, who pushed his girlfriend out of the way, bearing the brunt of the impact himself. He later married her. Many of the victims returned to the courtroom day after day to listen to other witnesses, and jurors saw them hugging and comforting one another.

                          During much of the testimony, Mr. Fields betrayed no emotion and appeared apathetic as his victims described their pain and lasting injuries.

                          But Courtney Commander, whose knee was grazed by the car, said that in the first days of testimony, Mr. Fields mouthed the words, “I’m sorry” at her, prompting her and two other victims to leave the courtroom.

                          “I don’t even know how to feel about it,” she said before the verdict came down. “Even if he does feel sorry, it’s not going to bring back my friend.”

                          During the trial, prosecutors introduced evidence that Mr. Fields intended to commit harm when he drove from Ohio to attend the rally. In a text message exchange with his mother, she told him to be careful. “We’re not the one[s] who need to be careful,” he replied in a message that also included a photo of Adolf Hitler.

                          Prosecutors also showed the jury a cartoon that Mr. Fields had shared months earlier on Instagram of a car ramming into a crowd, with the words, “You have the right to protest but I’m late for work.” Other evidence included recordings of conversations that Mr. Fields had with his mother after his arrest, in which he described the counterprotesters at the rally as a “violent gang of terrorists,” and derided Ms. Heyer’s mother, Susan Bro, as an “anti-white liberal” who should be viewed as an enemy.

                          “There’s no evidence he came prepared to do any harm,” said John Hill, a defense lawyer, during the trial. The defense called Dwayne Dixon, an anti-racism activist, to testify, and he acknowledged shouting at a gray car while he had an AR-15 rifle slung over his shoulder.

                          But video footage from that day showed Mr. Fields’s car idling and then backing up before it plowed ahead into the crowd.

                          Jurors were visibly moved by testimony of victims describing the crash. Mr. Fields drove away — a sneaker still stuck in the grill of the car — and was stopped on a road heading out of town. In a conversation with a police officer, his voice flat and calm, he said, “I didn’t want to hurt people, but I thought they were attacking me.” When he was told that a person died and many were injured, he gasped and sobbed.

                          A prosecutor, Nina-Alice Antony, argued that Mr. Fields clearly had “specific intent to kill a human being,” even if he had not singled out any particular person in the crowd.

                          The rally, which purported to be a defense of the statues of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, which some in the city were trying to remove, tore at the fabric of Charlottesville even before it was held, as anti-racism activists begged city officials not to hold it, warning that there would be violence.

                          City leaders eventually tried to stop the rally from being held, but a judge allowed it to move forward, citing free speech rights.

                          The violence that broke out, in particular the deadly crash, gave elected officials new ammunition in their attempts to get judges to curtail white nationalist events.

                          Support grew for the statues’ removal, and many local Republican officials distanced themselves from people associated with the rally. President Trump was widely criticized for his comments that there was “blame on both sides” for the violence.

                          Nearly every official who held power at the time has since resigned or retired. The city attorney, who concluded that there was no legal way to stop the rally, took a job in another town. The police chief stepped down in the wake of a critical report accusing him of failing to protect the public. The city manager, who oversaw the city’s response, also left and a permanent replacement has yet to be found.

                          Instead of uniting the right, the rally’s purported goal, it empowered a leftist political coalition that vows to confront generations of racial and economic injustice. But despite the drastic overhaul of the city’s leadership, wholesale change has been slow to take hold.

                          The bronze Confederate generals that ignited the rally still sit on horseback in public parks. Activists still demand their removal. A judge still forbids it. Their fate may be decided next month.

                          A sentencing hearing with the same jury is scheduled to begin Monday, pending possible delays for a snowstorm predicted for the weekend. Mr. Fields also could face the death penalty in a second trial on federal hate crimes charges next year. A guilty verdict in that case, his victims said, would be critical to sending a message that violent white supremacy would not be tolerated.

                          Outside the brick courthouse Friday evening, just a few blocks from where Mr. Fields drove his car into the crowd — punctuating that August afternoon with screams and chaos — several of his victims stood on the steps. With the lights of local television cameras casting glows on their faces, they chanted defiantly, “Whose streets? Our streets!”

                          Correction: December 6, 2018
                          An earlier version of this article misstated how many charges James Fields Jr. was convicted of, aside from the murder charge. He was convicted of nine other charges, not eight.

                          Jonathan M. Katz reported from Charlottesville, and Farah Stockman from Boston.


                          A version of this article appears in print on Dec. 7, 2018, on Page A1 of the New York edition with the headline: Driver Who Plowed Into Charlottesville Crowd Is Guilty of Murder.

                              CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Jurors have found 21-year-old James Alex Fields, Junior guilty of first-degree murder in the death of Heather Heyer.

                              Fields was also found guilty of nine other charges: aggravated malicious wounding (five counts), malicious wounding (three counts), and failing to stop at an accident involving a death.

                              The charges typically carry the following amount of prison time in Virginia:

                              First-degree murder - 20 years to life

                              Aggravated malicious wounding - 20 years to life

                              Malicious wounding - five years to 20 years

                              Hit and run - up to 10 years
                              .

                              The verdicts were announced in Charlottesville Circuit Court shortly after 5 p.m. Friday, December 7. The jury of seven woman and five men had begun deliberating the case at 9:42 a.m.

                              The charges stem from Fields driving his Dodge Challenger into a crowd of counterprotesters on Fourth Street August 12, 2017. The commonwealth argued Fields had hate and violence on his mind when he drove into the crowd. Defense attorneys claimed Fields had acted out of fear.

                              Jurors had the option to find the Ohio man guilty of lesser charges: Second-degree murder or involuntary manslaughter; Aggravated malicious wounding could be downgraded to malicious wounding or unlawful wounding.

                              The sentencing phase is set to get underway at 9:30 a.m. Monday, December 10. The jury will give Judge Richard Moore a recommended sentencing, but the judge will ultimately decide Fields' sentence.

                              Charlottesville Circuit Court scheduled a total of 18 days for the Fields trial, which got underway on November 26.
