Moving Past It

A Nazi asshole killed Heather Heyer and injured 35 others when he drove his car into a group of people here in my home town August 12, 2017.

That asshole made a deal and changed his plea to guilty for 29 Federal Hate Crime charges.

As part of the deal, prosectors didn't ask for the death penalty, and the judge is reviewing the thing now.

James Fields could be sentenced to life plus 419 years in federal prison.

WaPo:

James Alex Fields Jr., 21, of Ohio admitted guilt to 29 of 30 counts in a federal indictment as part of a deal with prosecutors, who agreed they would not seek the death penalty in a case that has come to symbolize the violent resurgence of white supremacism in the United States. Fields is set to be sentenced July 3.

Late last year, Fields was convicted in state court of first-degree murder and other charges for killing Heather D. Heyer, 32, and injuring dozens at the chaotic Unite the Right rally on Aug. 12, 2017. The jury in that case recommended a life sentence, and a state judge is scheduled to formally impose it in mid-July.

The kicker, and a little taste of something I can't quite put my finger on:
Attorney General William P. Barr approved the deal.
