"The jurors were instructed that the sentences would be “presumed to be consecutive” unless they recommended that the terms be served simultaneously. The panel made no such recommendation. Fields’s overall sentence: life plus 419 years and $480,000 in fines." WP

Good riddance.

Looks like under section C. of the Virginia parole statute, he's eligible for parole after 25 years. https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/...ction53.1-151/

Doesn't mean he'll get it, of course....

'Crying Nazi' Christopher Cantwell found guilty of extortion in rape threat case
Prosecutors said Cantwell sent a series of threatening messages to find the leader of an online group who he believed was harassing him online.

Quote:
Christopher Cantwell, known for his involvement in the violent "Unite the Right" 2017 rally in Virginia, was found guilty Monday in a case related to a rape threat and extortion using the online messaging app Telegram.

Cantwell, 39, was convicted of one count of transmitting extortionate communications and one count of threatening to injure property or reputation, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Hampshire. The jury found him not guilty of a cyberstalking count.
