Charlottesville Investigation, Heather Heyer Death Details

Questions are raised regarding the specific cause of death for Heather Heyer during the Charlottesville protests. While initially reported as being "mowed down" by a car, her mother stated in an interview that Heyer died of a heart attack at the scene. The hosts note the lack of recent updates or formal indictments in the case against the driver, James Alex Fields Jr., suggesting the story has been largely dropped by the media.
