A jury on Dec. 11 recommended life in prison for James Fields Jr., who was convicted on Dec. 7 of first-degree murder and other crimes in connection with Heather Heyer’s August 2017 death.

Heyer, 32, was run over by Fields during the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Aug. 12. After conservative groups, including white supremacists, descended upon the city to rally, hundreds of counterprotesters, including the extremist Antifa group, met them and clashes took place throughout the day.
