[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I predict the charges against Fields will be escalated, and he could be charged with capital murder.  In Virginia, killing someone during an act or attempted act of terrorism is a capital offense.  When charges were initially filed, it wasn't known if his acts were considered domestic terrorism.  But now it's headed in that direction [/quote]

Fry that white supremacist f*cker. [/quote]

What if it's true that he has schizophrenia?[/quote]

If it's true, he would have the burden to prove, as a defense, that he was experiencing a psychotic episode and did not know the difference between right and wrong at the time of the crash.

Just having a mental illness is not an automatic defense that absolves someone of criminal liability. He would have to prove he was currently experiencing symptoms, not just that in high school or in the army he did.  It's pretty complicated.

The fact that he hightailed it out of there in reverse at high speed means that he knows what he did was wrong. End of the insanity defense.[/quote]
In real life, that's how a panic attack looks behind the wheel.
