A jury has awarded more than $26 million in damages after finding White nationalists who organized and participated in the violent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia back in 2017 liable on a state conspiracy claim and other claims. Susan Bro’s daughter, Heather Heyer, was killed that day when a man sped his car through a crowd of counterprotesters. She tells AC360 the verdict “speaks volumes to trying to set things straight.” 

Plus, the jury began deliberations in the trial of the three men accused of killing Ahmaud Arbery. Sara Azari is a criminal defense attorney. She joins AC360 to discuss the trial.
