James Alex Fields Jr., from Ohio, allegedly smashed his car into a group of counter-protesters and other cars on Saturday in Charlottesville, Va. Judge Robert Downer said the public defenders’ office informed him it could not represent Fields because a relative of someone in the office was injured in Saturday’s protest. Local attorney Charles Weber was appointed to represent Fields. Weimer also said Fields had told him that he had been diagnosed with schizophrenia when he was younger. Securitas said Fields performed his duties "satisfactorily" and was on vacation leave when he attended the rally in Charlottesville.
