A first take on the breaking news. More to come.

A Charlottesville Jury Ordered White Nationalists To Pay $25 Million To Victims Of The "Unite The Right" Rally buzzfeednews.com/article/christ… via @BuzzFeedNews

Roberta Kaplan, co-lead counsel for the plaintiffs, said after the verdict that her team plans to refile the federal conspiracy claims against the defendants. She believes the jury was eager to get home before Thanksgiving & new jury would rule in plaintiffs' favor on fed charges

“We think the facts were established. We think that the finding of liability in count 3 showed a conspiracy,” she told reporters outside the courthouse. Kaplan let out a shout of “Yes!” as she stepped into her black SUV. buzzfeednews.com/article/christ…

More from Kaplan and her co-lead counsel Karen Dunn outside the courthouse moments ago.

Matthew Parrott, who along with his neo-Nazi Traditionalist Worker Party, was a defendant, told me, "The jurors have given us a middle finger." He also said it would likely keep neo-nazis from organizing like Unite the Right. buzzfeednews.com/article/christ…
