There was also a ton of misinformation from both sides, so it's hard for me to unequivocally declare him completely innocent, either.
Most times I have no idea what to believe, because it's one side saying A and the other side saying B - and I don't want to reflexively side with 'my tribe' (which I know also lies a lot).
A leftist professor or TA (forget which) bragged openly about waving a rifle in his face before the incident. So Alex Fields definitely had a fucking gun pointed at him some time before he sped into the car/crowd.
I wonder if this was presented to the jury, and if not, if it could be grounds for a new trial.

In this case, we had video of the whole incident. An angry, armed, leftist mob was attacking cars, as they like to do, and he crashed into another car while trying to get away. None of the videos even show him making physical contact with the fatass who died.
The real reason why he was railroaded like that was because he was a member of Vanguard America, one of the groups organizing the protest and the predecessor to Patriot Front. They weren't just trying a man named Fields, they were trying a stand-in for the entire American right.

He got 400+ years, they'll absolutely never give him a new trial, if they can help it. Regardless of the facts.
