The appeals court decision comes just under a month after the criminal trial for Jacob Dix, one of the angry and aggrieved white men charged with using flaming torches to intimidate counter-protesters during the rally, ended in a mistrial. Dix is due back in court in August when prosecutors are expected to request a new trial and defense attorneys are expected to seek a full dismissal of the case.
Besides Dix and the defendants who now have to pay out $26 million, fallout from the Unite the Right rally includes a now-former Enid, Oklahoma, city council member, Judd Blevins, who was ousted over his participation in the rally—among other white supremacist offenses—and, of course, James Alex Fields Jr., who is serving a life sentence after driving his car into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing one woman and injuring dozens more. Another participant, Teddy Joseph Von Nukem, died by suicide last year ahead of his drug trafficking trial, which was unrelated to the rally.
Now to be appealed to SCOTUS where they will declare white supremacy to be not only legal, but mandatory. With Clarence Thomas writing the decision on behalf of the majority.
