Perhaps the felony homicide wouldn't apply; I said quite clearly I am not a lawyer nor legal expert.
I'm pretty sure the Feds will find this was a hate crime.
This fear for his life defense is absurd. He had a way out prior to hitting people. In fact he got out after hitting the people.
There is no defense for this Nazi save the Schizophrenic defense some have tossed out.
Lots of right wing killers end up claiming mental disorders.
I think this one is getting hit with a hate crime since he came to Charlottesville to participate in a hate group rally. And he is the only one at the crime scene operating a lethal weapon and used it with deadly force.
No one mows down unarmed pedestrians and claims self defense.
He rear ended another vehicle with people between his car and that one.
Multiple counts of attempted murder in the prosecution of a hate crime.
I'm no legal expert as well, but it's clear this Nazi was motivated by hate and acted.
