Judge Nap: Evidence of James Alex Fields’ Guilt Is ‘Overwhelming’

EXCERPT:

NAPOLITANO: "So depending upon what the F.B.I. finds will determine where he is tried first. Typically the federal government goes first, but in a case like this where the evidence of guilt is overwhelming and the charges filed can bring a life in prison, not capital punishment but life in prison, might actually be a waste for the Feds to prosecute him if he is tried, convicted and sentenced to life in Virginia. But if the Feds do discover that others were involved, they would be derelict in not prosecuting the others because they would have participated in the commission of this crime."
