Self-described neo-Nazi James Fields, who was convicted of killing Heather Heyer...
- Self-described neo-Nazi James Fields, who was convicted of killing Heather Heyer by ramming his car into a crowd protesting white supremacist rallies in Virginia in 2017, was expected on Wednesday to plead guilty in his federal hate crimes case.
He is already facing a sentence of life in prison after being found guilty of Heyer’s murder for smashing his car into a crowd of protesters the day after white supremacists marched with torches in the college town. He was also charged with 28 counts of hate crime acts causing bodily injury and involving an attempt to kill, and one count of racially motivated violent interference with a federally protected activity.In December, a Virginia jury recommended that Fields spend the rest of his life in prison after finding him guilty of first-degree murder and nine other crimes for killing Heyer, 32, and injuring 19 people after the “Unite the Right” gathering in August 2017.
