Man Faces Second Sentence in Charlottesville Car Attack

Associated Press

   CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. - A man sentenced to life in prison on federal
   hate crime charges for deliberately driving his car into anti-racism
   protesters during a white nationalist rally in Virginia is set to face
   a state judge who could add another life sentence, plus 419 years.

   James Alex Fields Jr., 22, will be sentenced Monday for killing one
   person and injuring dozens during the "Unite the Right" rally in
   Charlottesville on Aug. 12, 2017.

   Last month, Fields received a life sentence on 29 federal hate crime
   charges.

   A state jury has recommended a sentence of life, plus 419 years. Under
   state law, Judge Richard Moore is allowed to go lower than the jury's
   recommendation, but cannot go higher.
