The white nationalist convicted of killing Heather Heyer with his car in Virginia in 2017 pleaded guilty to federal hate crimes Wednesday, the Justice Department announced.
James Fields Jr., a participant in the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in August 2017, killed Heyer, a counterprotester, and wounded numerous others when he drove his car into a crowd. He was convicted in December of first-degree murder, aggravated malicious wounding and one count of leaving the scene of an accident causing serious injury or death.
