CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) -- The man accused of driving into a crowd protesting a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville faces a new charge of first-degree murder after a court hearing Thursday in which prosecutors presented surveillance video and other evidence against him.

Prosecutors announced at the start of a preliminary hearing for James Alex Fields that they were seeking to upgrade the second-degree murder charge he previously faced in the Aug. 12 collision in Charlottesville that left 32-year-old Heather Heyer dead and dozens injured. The judge agreed to that and ruled there is probable cause for all charges against Fields to proceed.

Fields' case will now be presented to a grand jury for an indictment.

Fields said he was sorry and asked if people were OK, according to Young. When Fields was told someone had died, he appeared shocked and sobbed, Young said.


Not usually the reaction of someone with premeditation.

They are over charging him.  He'll walk just like that illegal in San Fran.

Depends on the venue and jury pool.

Totally consistent with premeditation.

Yup.  Especially if he's a Sociopath.  These aren't humans as we understand them.
