Charlottesville car attacker jailed

A neo-Nazi who drove his car into a group of counter-protesters last year during a white supremacist rally in Virginia, killing a woman, was sentenced to life in prison yesterday. James Alex Fields Jr, 21, was found guilty of murder and other charges last week following a jury trial in Charlottesville. The same seven-woman, fiveman jury that convicted Fields sentenced him to life in prison and an additional 419 years. Fields rammed his car into the counter-protesters on August 12, 2017, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer and injuring dozens of other people.
