The man who drove into a crowd of counterprotesters in Charlottesville's "Unite the Right" rally two years ago has pleaded for mercy and asked for a sentence less than life imprisonment in his federal hate crimes case.In a sentencing memorandum filed in federal court Friday, James A. Fields Jr. said the court should not give him a life sentence because of his young age, history of mental illness and childhood trauma, and to show that no one is defined by their worst moments."James did not come to Charlottesville with any plan to commit an act of violence. In the space of only a few minutes, caught in circumstances he did not intend to create, he acted in an aggressive and impulsive manner consistent with his mental health history and his age," the memo reads."In a matter of seconds he caused irreparable harm for which there is no excuse. But this Court can understand his actions, without excusing them, as symptomatic of transient immaturity, and not consider them to be predictive of who he might be in the future with time and medication."The memorandum notes that Fields' grandfather killed his grandmother and then himself, and that his father died in a car accident before Fields was born. His mother was in an accident that left her paraplegic before he was born and raised him as a single mother. The memo also says he has been taking medication since his imprisonment that has controlled his symptoms."No amount of punishment imposed on James can repair the damage he caused to dozens of innocent people. But this Court should find that retribution has limits," the memo states.The memo comes ahead of his sentencing in his federal case, in which he pleaded guilty to 29 hate crimes in order to avoid the death penalty.Fields was 20 when he attended the August 2017 demonstrations in Charlottesville, Virginia, and joined white nationalists, neo-Nazis and other groups opposed to the city's decision to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. During a day of violent clashes in the city, Fields drove his vehicle into a crowd of counterprotesters, killing Heather Heyer, a 32-year-old paralegal.Fields was convicted in state court of first-degree murder and other charges, and the jury recommended a sentence of life in prison. He is due to be sentenced in that case on July 15, Commonwealth's Attorney Joseph Platania said in March. 2377

The memory of serving in war still haunts veteran Matthew Kahl. "I'd seen things. I'd done things that were no person no person should ever have to do,” Kahl says. Kahl was deployed to Afghanistan twice in four years. Since serving, he’s tried twice to take his own life."I tried to commit suicide. I found every medication in the house cold medications, Tylenol, everything,” he recalls. “And I took them all, everything. Every last bit." Kahl says doctors tried to help by him by prescribing numerous different medications. “Ninety-six medications over the course of three to four years," he says. But he says all of these drugs, many of them anti-depressants, didn't fix his problem. "The traditional treatment caused me to be a zombie. It toned down the feelings,” he says. “It eliminated the feelings. It completely removed all the ability to connect with your issues your trauma." Then, he says he took a more natural route. First, he tried cannabis, but then, he went to psychedelic drugs, like psilocybin mushrooms. "Mushrooms, it was like magic. They fixed the pain they fixed the issues that were leading to the pain,” he describes. “It was a profound, profound experience. It was healing." Kahl considers magic mushrooms a medicine. However, the government considers them illegal. In May, Denver could become the first city to decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms. "We believe no person should be criminalized, lose their jobs, lose their family, lose their livelihood, for possessing a substance that grows naturally and has such really potential medical benefits,” says Kevin Matthews, an advocate for decriminalizing psilocybin mushrooms. Matthews' campaign got nearly twice the amount of signatures needed to get on the ballot. If voters approve the measure, mushrooms would still be illegal but would become the "the lowest-law enforcement priority." Supporters point to studies like one by Johns Hopkins University that say mushrooms have the potential to help with depression and anxiety. "It's one of these things that we have a lot of issues that we're facing as a society: rising rates of addiction and mental health crisis,” Matthews says. “And psilocybin can be an affecting alternative to the current paradigm of treatment." The government considers mushrooms a schedule 1 drug that have "no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse." If users like Kahl were caught with mushrooms, they could face prison time. That's why a "yes" vote in May would mean so much to him. "It would mean freedom,” he says. “Finally being free of the worry, of being prosecuted and going to jail." He says that fear won't stop him from using mushrooms as a weapon in the fight against PTSD."You don't have to be stuck. This isn't a life sentence, and this PTSD, it’s curable,” he says. “You don't have to live with this pain for the rest of your life. You don't you can move on."There is a similar push to decriminalize mushrooms in Oregon in 2020. A legalization effort fell short in California last year. 3041

The NFL announced on Tuesday that the number of teams that will qualify for the playoffs will expand from 12 to 14, which will also increase the number of Wild Card Round games from four to six. NFL owners and the Players Association came to the agreement on Tuesday, which will go into effect this season. The format will mean that only the top team in each conference will earn a bye into the Divisional Round. The six division winners will then play the six wild card teams. The new format marks the first time the NFL has expanded the playoffs since 1990, when the league increased the number of teams that qualified from 10 to 12. Per the new format, three playoff games will be played on Saturday, Jan. 9, and another three games will be played on Sunday, Jan. 10. NBC and CBS have been the selected networks to air the added two showdowns. Had this year's format been in place in 2019, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Rams would have earned playoff bids. 982
