Guys, I have to tell you: legally, it doesn't matter whether Fields' car hit Heyer or not. Having a heart attack from fear allows for a murder charge just as well. The defense is not "he didn't actually cause her death", it's "his actions were self-defense or panic"
Nah, the theory would be that he intentionally drove into a crowd of people, intending to harm/kill them and/or doing something that could be reasonably expected to harm or kill someone. That's all they need.

That's just a restatement of the prosecution's theory. It has nothing to do with any nuance about the cause of death.

People are in fact murdered with cars, though.

But not by inducing heart attacks.

That part doesn't matter. If the action could be reasonably expected to cause harm and did cause harm then the exact mechanism doesn't matter.
