    The appeals court decision comes just under a month after the criminal trial for Jacob Dix, one of the angry and aggrieved white men charged with using flaming torches to intimidate counter-protesters during the rally, ended in a mistrial. Dix is due back in court in August when prosecutors are expected to request a new trial and defense attorneys are expected to seek a full dismissal of the case.

    Besides Dix and the defendants who now have to pay out $26 million, fallout from the Unite the Right rally includes a now-former Enid, Oklahoma, city council member, Judd Blevins, who was ousted over his participation in the rally—among other white supremacist offenses—and, of course, James Alex Fields Jr., who is serving a life sentence after driving his car into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing one woman and injuring dozens more. Another participant, Teddy Joseph Von Nukem, died by suicide last year ahead of his drug trafficking trial, which was unrelated to the rally.
