Ahmaud Arbery's killers get life in jail.

Assuming the McMichaels are guilty of murder goes to show the fear in everyones hearts that are unwilling to call a spade a spade. The same way Chauvin was wrongly found guilty of intentional murder in the 1st and 3rd degrees.

The law, as per that state, says if you are in pursuit of a felony suspect, you do not need to witness the fore crime to have justification for a citizens arrest, as is the case in this circumstance, because we know the police specifically asked the McMichaels for help finding this suspect. It matters not whether the police asked for their help directly or not, just confirmation that the police asked the McMichaels for help and to be vigilant and aware.

Only in a misdemeanor crime, would you need to actually witness the crime being done, where you would have justification to pursue a criminal suspect.

Police went to the McMichaels for help, that is a fact.

Police described Ahmaud Arbery as the suspect, that is a fact.

A firearm and powertools were stolen from jobsites/vehicles, that is a fact, and that is the felony crime.

Ahmaud Arbery banked left, twords the McMichaels, before the gun was raised at a resting shoulder position.

A fight ensued between a felony suspect and a citizen with a firearm. thus creating a joint constructive possession situation, where-by both parties were essentially armed with a firearm, as Arberies hands were on the barrel of the shotgun.

Furthermore, the McMichaels were under the impression, rightfully so, this man being the main suspect, whom has stolen a firearm, could've been armed and dangerous.

You should have followed the case. The idiot son that took the stand admitted they did not see a felony take place or were witness to any crime.

Too bad, soo sad, have fun in prison scumbags.

The facts are so incorrect in this post its hard to tell where to start. Just a few. The law in Georgia states the person attempting to make a citizens arrest has to see a felony crime take place. A gun was stolen out of the unlocked vehicle 2 months prior. There is no proof Arbery was the one who stole it. There were no power tools stolen from the construction site.

At some point someone will get tired of running and from being struck by vehicles(as occurred with Bryant's vehicle) The elder McMichael had already stated he would blow his F###ng head off. Even though he was shot before he fought back, the GBI investigator Dial stated in an earlier hearing that he believed self defense should only be brought up in reference to Arbery, he was the one chased, blocked off, struck,threatened and pursued.

ETA: corrected to felony crime. Thanks for correcting me Augustus.

Not just a crime, it has to be a felony.

And, let's not forget, shot dead whilst unarmed.

This was always going to be the result (and the right result) once the news media reported on it.

the only people that were in a tizzy about the possible result are the people that drink the koolaid as far as Georgia is full of racists. (its not, are there some sure but they are the biggest minority)

Especially when you have video evidence, you would have to be a die hard racist to try and ignore that and if the attorney is worth a dang they usually get that sorted during selection.

Looks like the District Court Judge declined the murder's plea deal which would have seen them go to a Federal prison, where it's less crowded and where they'd get better treatment, instead of the local one where they might get a shower train. All they need to do is own up that they are racist murders and the incidents of prison rape in their future will decline precipitously.

Judge Lisa Godbey Wood's decision to turn down Travis McMichael and Gregory McMichael's plea agreements with federal prosecutors came after Arbery's parents and two aunts gave emotional statements asking the judge to reject the deal and proceed with a federal trial next week.

"All they would have to do is stand up and say that they were motivated by hate and then this court will concede to their preferred conditions of confinement," Arbery's mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, told the judge. "I do not need to hear them say they were motivated by hate. That does me no good. It does my family no good." Source of amusement
