What facts/evidence have convinced you that their story isn't true?
Their claim is that they loaded up to go confront this guy and try to buy time in doing so for the police to arrive and question him / arrest him - and that he then reacted in an unexpectedly rapid and violent way which necessitated a self-defense shooting. What's disproving that in your mind? The video supports it. The lack of pre-hysteria charges supports it. |

Here's you're first problem, it isn't legal to detain a person you suspect of committing a crime in Georgia, unless that crime is a felony and the person is trying to escape. There is no evidence of either of these requirements in this case. In fact there is no evidence of Arbey breaking the law at all, let alone committing a felony. So rather than a legal attempt to detain, they were engaged in an illegal felony themselves, an attempted unlawful detention.

And just for the cherry on top, aggressively pointing a gun at someone in Georgia is considered Aggravated Assault, because it's a simple assault while using a deadly weapon, and when a death occurs during an Aggravated Assault, that's considered a death during an inherently dangerous Felony, which means that the death is a Felony Murder.
Yeah, short of Jury nullification on this, they are going to jail for a long time. |

His argument is basically that if a
Of course it'd be interesting to see the knots people like said poster would tie themselves in where this a case of several black guys with gun who tried to illegally detain and then ended up shooting a white guy who was jogging through their neighbourhood because they believed he was the guy seen wandering about a building site on security footage. |

"Waycross District Attorney George Barnhill wrote that there is video of Arbery "burglarizing a home immediately preceding the chase and confrontation""
So you're that sure about the burglary? I have not read about anyone who claims Arbery stole or damaged property while in the buildling he was alleged to have entered. Without intent to commit a crime, the unlawful entry of a home or other building does not mean burglary in Georgia. https://statelaws.findlaw.com/georgi...lary-laws.html |

Like I said earlier, in what jurisdiction is the death penalty appropriate for trespassing?

I get the DA's argument, but he left off a complete picture of things I would like to know.
Suppose I know I'm innocent. For a cop,there is a presumption that a cop will not arrest without probable cause and there just isn't that many cops out there. Am I required to turn myself over for every person that yells citizens arrest at me? |

Interesting the bits if the article you left out... such as the DA that wrote the letter being one of those that had to recuse themselves because of personal connections to the defendants. Also that...

also....
Quote:
“The entire letter is based on the presumption that the individual that was involved in the shooting, was engaged in a criminal act before he was chased down” Also it is clear that those that did the chasing did not witness a crime being committed...

No they were not acting legally. PhantomWolf has explained this thoroughly, referring to the Laws on the State of Georgia

The problem is that they weren't complying with Georgia Law in their attempt. The law doesn't allow you to see someone jogging down the road and decide they might have been committing a crime so you can get your gun and run them down in your pickup to confront and point your guns at them.
It gives the right to prevent a person leaving the scene of a crime you witness, or to prevent a suspect to a felony from escaping the crime scene. This is not what happened. |

Regardless of protestations, they have been arrested, they have been charged, and they are going to court. The court will decide whether what they did was legal or not.

No matter what you think of the video or the event as you currently understand them, every decent person has to find the idea of murder charges being filed because of celebrity attention and public outcry chilling.
