Charlottesville Antifa Steamrolled By Car

They changed it from 2nd degree to 1st degree murder. I hope this goes to trial. I'd like to hear the evidence, especially Field's testimony.

This is such a bizarre case. Video evidence looks like his car was struck before he accelerated into the crowd. The US President declares him guilty on national TV. His case gets delayed for 4 months and he's denied bail. The judge reassigns him a new public defender, one with a shady past. There's absolutely zero information that came out during those 4 months, which is really weird for such a high profile case. All the other cases like this had huge stories every day on the national news.

Sounds like we were right from the beginning, he was literally scared shitless that Antifa was going to attack and kill him with bats before he ever drove down the street.

Details released in court were that Fields soiled himself at some point during the attack. During cross examination, it was revealed that Fields asked how the people were that he hit and cried when he heard Heyer died.

. Wow. Unless he told the cops that was his plan when they first arrested him, that's gonna be hard to prove. It will be interesting how this unfolds.

A higher murder charge also means more money for the defense attorney. They could just be milking it for all it is worth.

I knew someone charged with 2nd degree murder for shooting a home invader. The attorney charged him $12,000 if it was dismissed and $24,000 if it went to a jury trial. A cynical old man said pay him 24 regardless and that way it will get dismissed. Everyone laughed at the old man because it was so obvious that it should have been dismissed.

The cynical old man turned out to be correct. Now I am in my 40s but my thoughts are already those of a cynical old fart.

I think they are inflating the charges so he can't possibly be found guilty, then they will whip up riots when he goes free.

My guess is that they're trying to scare him into a plea bargain. I seriously doubt the prosecution wants this going to trial.
 
99.9999999999% of prosecutors care about nothing but their conviction rate.

It's highly unlikely that the prosecutor is trying to do anything other than convict (or get a plea).

That's kinda what I figured, until you said it, now I'm not so sure.

One article said the only thing the defense attorney did was cross examine one witness. She asked the officer who arrested Fields what Field's reaction was when he was told he killed someone. That's it. No mention of the car being struck. That seems weird to me.

Has the defendant testified (or is there word that he's planning to testify)?

"Fields maintained he feared for his life at the Downtown Mall crossing, and hit the accelerator in panic"


The judge certified the charge of hit and run? I'm not sure what the point was of the hearing today. That's obviously a bogus charge.

I haven't been following this at all...

So, the trial hasn't actually started, they're still in pre-trial hearings?

One of the articles mentioned that his public defender attorney is related to one of the people he hit. that seems weird to me.
