#HeatherHeyer died because James Alex Fields Jr. rammed his car into a street full of people.
Despite the evidence - still photos, video, witnesses, his damaged car - he pled not guilty last month

“...the amount of digital evidence collected in this case had surpassed that from the investigation into the Boston Marathon Bombing in April 2013...”

Excellent analysis of "FACT" and Whittaker from #TPM

Whitaker's op-ed was "highly critical of a candidate, and he ought not to be doing that, because it’s a political partisan comment."

Whittaker founded his Section 501c3 NFP in 2015.
talkingpointsmemo.com/news/whitaker-…
Section 501c3 tax code prohibits non-profits "from supporting or opposing political candidates during a campaign." But "FACT" under Whittaker did that more than once.
"in 2016 [Whitaker] earned more than twice what leaders of similar groups were paid on average that year"
Charity Navigator is our friend, not his.
His THREE-person board of directors that included just one unsalaried member.

Georgia's Republican Secretary of State/Gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp has a three-year history of ignoring elections security, which makes his Sunday accusation about the state Democratic Party even more suspect.

"Brian Kemp is both overseeing the governor’s election, as a secretary of state, and running in that election, as the Republican nominee. And he’s behaving shamefully."

Deconstructing Trump on Lee and Grant (image) - comments made at Ohio political rally
cnn.com/politics/live-…
FACT: Robert E. Lee was a slave owner who chose to lead a traitorous rebellion. He supported a war designed to keep humans enslaved via an economic and social system of white supremacy.
Trump’s Lost Cause frame on Robert E. Lee was not scripted, so this appears to be what Trump believes (or at least holds in his head)

Good morning everyone except fascists and those who defend them! Sorry for the late update -- the audio recap of yesterday's closing arguments in the trial of james alex fields is available here.
the obvious & continuing content warning applies.

soundcloud.com/wtju/the-trial…
the jury will begin deliberating on the verdict today. fields faces ten charges - one count of first degree murder, five counts of aggravated malicious wounding, three counts of malicious wounding, and one count of leaving the scene of an accident.
even if the jury enters that jury room already certain and unanimous, it's a lot of paperwork. if they go through the proper motions, read the jury instructions together, and deliberate on the specific elements of each count individually, it will still take several hours.

the defense is expected to rest this morning in the trial of james alex fields. we should be hearing closing arguments this afternoon.
we’re expecting to hear from the defense’s final two witnesses before lunch, but at this point i don’t know what to expect from this meandering, unfocused defense.
headed in now for what i hope to be the end of this stage of the trial. more soon.

we’re expecting to hear the end of the commonwealth’s case against james alex fields jr. this morning. a recap of witnesses from yesterday, the third day of the trial, is here.
well the commonwealth has not yet rested. there were motions heard in chambers this morning - the judge ruled, over the defense’s objections, to admit into evidence a picture of hitler that fields included with his text to his mother on august 11, 2017
he also ruled to admit, in part, also over the defense’s objections, portions of two calls fields made from jail to his mother, one in december of 2017 and one in march of this year.

today is the 4th day in the trial of james alex fields jr. he’s charged with 1st degree murder of heather heyer, 5 counts of aggravated malicious wounding, 3 counts of malicious wounding, & 1 felony hit & run.
jury selection took 3 full days. opening statements will begin today.
the original indictment showed 3 aggravated malicious wounding and 5 malicious wounding, but 2 of the malicious wounding charges were upgraded to aggravated just before the trial began. the difference being that aggravated means the injury caused permanent injury or disability.
a malicious wounding in virginia carries a sentence of 5-20 years. aggravated malicious wounding carries the same penalty as the 1st degree murder charge: 20 to life. he could face six life sentences if convicted on all changes in this case.
