The white nationalist who drove a car into a crowd of counter-protesters at a Virginia rally last year began sobbing and whimpering after his arrest when police told him he had killed someone, according to video played at his trial on Dec. 4.

Within minutes of the mayhem at the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville on Aug. 12, 2017, James Fields could be heard on footage recorded by a detective’s body-worn camera saying he acted in self-defense.
