On the stand, Young told the court the Dodge had heavy front-end damage, holes in the rear window and was splattered with blood and flesh. In one of the photos presented by assistant prosecutor Nina Antony, a pair of blue sunglasses was stuck in the spoiler on the car’s trunk.

Walking the court back to the beginning of the attack, Young said a maroon van and a white sedan first drove down the Fourth Street crossing of the Downtown Mall toward Water Street but stopped when a large group of counter-protesters decided to walk up Fourth in the direction of Market Street.

A short time later, according to witness accounts and video footage, Young said a Dodge slowly drove down mall crossing and idled for a short time at the Downtown Mall before backing up.

Then the Dodge moved forward at high speed, colliding with the group.

It then backed up quickly — hitting more people in the process — before speeding off down Market Street with its front bumper scraping the road, Young said.

Antony also played video footage from the Virginia State Police helicopter that followed the Dodge after it was seen plowing through the crowd. The officers can be heard relaying the car’s route to units on the ground in an attempt to help them stop the car.
