Charlottesville, December 11 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Virginia, a jury has convicted self-described neo-Nazi James Alex Fields of first-degree murder for killing anti-fascist protester Heather Heyer.
At the deadly Charlottesville rally last year, Fields plowed his car into a crowd of people protesting the white supremacist “Unite the Right” rally, killing 32-year-old Heyer and injuring 35 others.
Fields is also facing separate federal hate crime charges, which could result in the death penalty.
