CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — A jury has been seated in the trial of an Ohio man accused of killing a woman and injuring dozens at a white nationalist rally in Virginia last year.
Jury selection was completed Thursday morning in the trial of James Alex Fields Jr., of Maumee, Ohio. He’s charged with first-degree murder and accused of driving his car into a crowd of counterprotesters during a “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville on Aug. 12, 2017.
Opening statements from prosecutors and Fields’ lawyers were expected to begin after a brief court recess.
Fields’ lawyer has indicated Fields may claim he was acting in self-defense. Prosecutors say he intentionally plowed his car into the group.
A jury of 12 regular jurors and four alternates will hear the case.

Why the fuck are you blaming the driver? The woman caused her own death by standing in the street, which is a big no-no ESPECIALLY when she more than likely saw the fucking car.

Why the fuck are you blaming Alec? Iknowtoomuch caused his own castigation by shitposting in this thread, which is a big no-no ESPECIALLY when he more than likely knows how old this stupid joke is.
