James Alex Fields was at the 'Unite The Right' when he killed anti-racism activist Heather Heyer, 32, NBC News reports.
The man convicted of murder for his deadly car attack on counter protesters at the 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, pleaded guilty to federal hate crime charges on Wednesday in order to dodge a possible death penalty.
The 30th charge, which included a possible death sentence, was dropped. He's been ordered to return to court on July 3 to be sentenced. Fields was convicted in state court in December for the death of anti-racism activist Heather Heyer, 32, and for injuring dozens more during the infamous United The Right rally.
