Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: Neither Justice Nor Mercy for James Fields—and It's His Lawyers' Fault I don’t believe James Alex Fields Jr., 22, got justice from the U.S. court system, and I certainly don’t expect he will get mercy. [Man convicted of killing Heather Heyer in Charlottesville attack asks judge for ‘mercy’ by Alan Suderman, Associated Press/WJLA, June 22nd 2019] And I further believe that, to a considerable extent, this is the fault of his court-appointed defense attorneys, Denise Lunsford and John Hill. Fields will be sentenced on Friday, June 28, for the (unconstitutional in my opinion) federal “hate crimes” to which he pleaded guilty, reportedly to avoid the death penalty—on top of his state conviction for the murder of Heather Heyer, etc., for which he already has been sentenced to an incredible Life plus 419 years. According to AP’s Suderman: …Fields’ attorneys highlighted his difficult upbringing, but with much of the details redacted from public viewing. He was raised by a paraplegic single mother and suffered “trauma” by growing up knowing that his Jewish grandfather had murdered his grandmother before committing suicide… On December 7, 2018, Fields was convicted of First-Degree Murder, “five counts of aggravated malicious wounding, three counts of malicious wounding and a count of leaving the scene of an accident,” and sentenced to life plus 419 years. And that was just for starters. [Neo-Nazi James Fields gets life in prison, plus 419 years, for killing protester at Charlottesville rally by Tamar Lapin, New York Post, December 11, 2018] On March 27, 2019, Fields pled guilty in federal court to 29 out of 30 “Hate Crime” charges [Avowed neo-Nazi pleads guilty to federal hate crime charges for deadly car attack in Charlottesville by Justin Jouvenal and Paul Duggan, Chicago Tribune-Washington Post, March 27, 2019.] As a Jew and an American, why should I even care about the fate of a neo-Nazi? Let there be no mistake: I do think James Alex Fields Jr. is a neo-Nazi. However, last I heard, being a neo-Nazi is not a capital offense. So here’s why I care: America is supposedly a nation of laws, not men. Those laws apply to neo-Nazis, as much as everyone else; The Leftist and “conservative” Main Stream Media have adopted the tactic of reducing everyone who opposes white genocide to the disenfranchised status of “neo-Nazi,” “fascist,” “white supremacist,” “xenophobe,” etc.—including yours truly. James Alex Fields Jr. and the other Unite the Right demonstrators went to Charlottesville to exercise their First Amendment rights. Various parties, above all, Antifa and Charlottesville Police Chief Al Thomas, conspired to violently deprive them of said rights. Those parties, not Fields, are responsible for the death of Heather Heyer. Fields is a victim of a totalitarian campaign uniting a nationwide terrorist organization called Antifa and complicit prosecutors and judges, aided and abetted by Establishment “conservatives.” Unite the Right was one of the few groups willing to fight said campaign. Officially, Fields enjoyed the presumption of innocence. Officially, prosecutor Nina-Alice Antony had to prove three elements: Premeditation and mens rea (bad or evil intent): That Fields did form a plan to kill people in Charlottesville that day; That Fields was the agent who caused the death of Heather Heyer and the severe wounding of almost 40 of her fellow racist demonstrators; and Eliminate self-defense as an alternative explanation for Fields’ conduct. In contrast, the defense team of former commonwealth attorney Denise Lunsford and John Hill were supposed to make a persuasive case that: Fields had not intended to kill or maim anyone; He was acting in self-defense, when he plowed into the crowd of racist, violent, communists and anarchists on that Charlottesville street; and/or Some other person or persons were legally responsible for the carnage wreaked on that August day. Each side had to demonstrate an inexorable logic hurtling towards the result: Either that Fields decided to go to Charlottesville in order to commit murder by automobile—at the latest, when he uploaded a photo to his Instagram account depicting such an incident, and when on the eve of the demonstration, he sent a picture of Adolf Hitler to his mother Or that he was forced by others into the situation in which he found himself, and had no choice but to hit the gas when he did. The prosecution maintained that Fields had idled for 90 seconds, backed up, and then drove into the crowd. It emphasized that, even after the incident, in a tape-recorded, December 7, 2017 telephone conversation with his mother in jail, Fields spoke of Heyer’s mother, Susan Bro, as “a communist” and “the enemy.” Almost immediately after the incident, Susan Bro announced that her daughter had died of a “heart attack,” rather than blunt force trauma, unwittingly casting into doubt that the 4’11,” 330-lb. Heyer had been deliberately murdered. However, Heyer’s August 14, 2017, autopsy stated that Heyer had died of “blunt force injury to torso.” (Weeks later, a staffer at the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office would lie to me, in denying that an autopsy had been performed.)
