IMO, Fields’ attorneys are remiss in failing to call for a special prosecutor to investigate the fools surrounding & beating his car.
Which, btw, is a common communist tactic. They do it hoping for precisely this outcome.
Plus, although in most cases it’s a bad idea, this seems like a rare instance in which the accused could have / should have been allowed to testify in his own behalf.
Notwithstanding his dumbass political leanings or statements in the past, I have seen no EVIDENCE of premeditation.
There is little to suggest he went there INTENDING an act of terrorism-by-car.
OTOH, there’s a LOT that suggests he was goaded & panicked, trying to get away.
Fields actually would have a very good chance of having the whole case reduced to a plea agreement for vehicular manslaughter if the judge didn’t get rid of Field’s original lawyer, Charles L. “Buddy” Weber, and replace him with a rabid Democrat, Denise Lunsford.
She basically suppressed most of the evidence - people beating his car, voluminous conflicting information, Dwayne chasing him with an AK-47 with CLEAR RECORDS of him boasting about it on Facebook. Furthermore, the abject stupidity of the police to first round everyone up in a park and then funnel them directly into Antifa instead of out the other side of the park. The situation would then never have happened.
I have a strong feeling that McAuliffe and the mayor plotted this whole thing, and now an innocent woman is dead.
