According to WHSV reports, Jacob Goodwin was sentenced to ten years in prison with two years suspended. Goodwin will also face supervised probation for five years once he’s released. He’s also been ordered to pay a $5,000 fine.
During his trial, the Arkansas man claimed self-defense. However, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Nina-Alice Antony said it was Goodwin who wanted to square off.
In court for his sentencing, Goodwin repeatedly apologized, expressing remorse for what happened to Harris.
Glad to see justice being served. Goodwin wasn’t the only attacker sentenced Thursday.

After being convicted of malicious wounding in Harris’ attack back in May for hitting Harris in the back of the head during the assault, Alex Ramos was sentenced on August 23 to six years in prison.
During the trial, prosecutors said Ramos hit Harris in the back of the head while Harris was being attacked in the parking garage by a group of men. Prosecution also claimed Ramos made a Facebook post bragging about the attack.
Ramos is said to have traveled to Charlottesville in support of conservative friends marching in the “Unite the Right” rally. Ramos said he is Puerto Rican and not racist.
In the opening statements, the defense attorney admitted that Ramos took a “cheap shot” at Harris but said that Ramos should not be charged with something as serious as malicious wounding. He also stated that Ramos should not be blamed for the actions of the rest of the group.
Cowards… They can go head and unite with the right in jail. SMH.
