Racist Jacob Goodwin convicted of assault on black man during Charlottesville rally | Southern Poverty Law Center: Goodwin wore a military helmet and carried a large shield during the attack on Harris, captured on video in a parking garage next to the Charlottesville Police Department. Three other white supremacists also involved in the attack face separate trials.

After authorities attempted to sort out what happened, Harris was charged with misdemeanor assault and battery against one of the white supremacists, but he was acquitted of those charges in March.

The 20-year-old victim, a special education instructional assistant, suffered a spinal injury, a broken arm and head lacerations in the assault that came during the now-notorious “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville.

The rally – one of the largest gatherings of racists and neo-Nazis in years – was held to oppose removal of a statute of Civil War General Robert E. Lee.
