Charlottesville suspect accused Heather Heyer's mother of being 'anti-white communist'

The self-professed neo-Nazi accused of killing a woman with his car during a 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., attacked the victim’s mother during taped phone calls from jail.

James Alex Fields Jr., 21, is currently on trial for the first-degree murder of Heather Heyer, a woman who was killed when Fields rammed his car into a group of counterprotesters.

Jurors heard a taped phone call between Fields and his mother from jail in December 2017 going after Heyer’s mother Susan Bro, CBS 19 News reported Tuesday.

Fields accused Bro of publicly slandering him and called her a “communist” and “anti-white supremacist.”
“She lost her daughter,” his mother reminded him.

“It doesn’t (expletive) matter,” Fields said.

it sounds like he has no remorse for murdering her daughter either. If/when they come to sentencing I hope as much consideration is given to him as he gave to his victim and her mother... Which is none.

didn't know someone had died when he rammed into the crowd, and felt immediate grief and remorse at the scene.

Sounds like a desperate attempt at a remorse defense.
