Jury has been selected in the civil trial against the organizers of the 'Unite the Right' rally

This trial will be fun to watch




A jury has been selected in the civil trial that will decide if organizers behind the August 2017, "Unite the Right" rally will be held responsible for the violence that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The plaintiffs, who include town residents and counterprotesters injured in two days of clashes, contend the organizers of the rally engaged in a conspiracy. The 9 individuals are seeking "compensatory and statutory" damages for physical and emotional injuries they suffered.
The twelve jurors were selected after being grilled with questions over three days.

I hope the plaintiffs have a really good case and the defendants spend the rest of their miserable lives watching half their paycheck go bye-bye to compensate the plaintiffs.
