Charlottesville attacker ordered to pay restitution to 4 victims
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - The man convicted of ramming his car into a crowd protesting a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, has been ordered to pay about $75,000 to some of his victims.
The Daily Progress reports a federal court released the restitution agreement for James Fields on Monday.
The agreement says four victims of the 2017 attack are to receive amounts ranging from about $3,500 to about $60,000. In total, the white supremacist must pay about $75,800.
According to the agreement, all of the victims were informed of their rights to seek restitution.
The car attack came after authorities forced the rally to disband. Anti-racist demonstrators were peacefully marching when Fields plowed into them, killing Heather Heyer and injuring dozens of others. He's been convicted of murder, hate crimes and other charges.
