A grand jury has indicted five men on charges stemming from the failed Aug. 12 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. 

On Monday evening, the grand jury indicted James Alex Fields Jr. on all 10 charges he faces in the car attack that killed Heather Heyer, including first-degree murder.

Fields faces a penalty of 20 years to life in prison on the murder charge. In a preliminary hearing Thursday, prosecutors upgraded his second-degree murder charge to first-degree. 

General District Judge Robert H. Downer Jr., also certified charges against Alex Ramos, Jacob Goodwin and Richard Preston on Monday. Another judge had already certified a charge against Daniel Borden. 

Borden, Ramos and Goodwin were all indicted by a grand jury on charges stemming from the Market Street Garage beating of DeAndre Harris, of Suffolk. 

Preston was indicted on a charge of firing a weapon near a school.

You may remember that this is the rally of which Donald Trump claimed that there were "good people" on both sides.

Well it appears that these "good people" may be headed to prison. 

You know it continues to irritate me that the conservatives were essentially calling for a lynch mob to go after the undocumented immigrant who accidentally killed Kate Stenle with a gun, but seem completely undisturbed by a guy who killed Heather Heyer after purposefully driving his car into a crowd of people.
