Verdict watch now in Arbery case.
I know this is not drawing the attention that Rittenhouse did, but this case has the potential to spark wide reaching riots due to the racial issue.

Anyway, the jury is in deliberations.

The day the soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you stopped leading them.
They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care.
Either case is a failure of leadership.

Guilty on all counts is the ONLY logical verdict that can be reached here.

If you fear for your life, call the cops.
You don't mount a posse of you and your boys all bearing shotguns and chase and almost run over a guy and then try to claim self defense when he's the one defending himself again you.

Re: Verdict watch now in Arbery case.
Didn't see everything in this case due to the overlap with the Rittenhouse case, but based on the closing arguments:

The father and son stopped following Arbery after he ran away. They stop pursuing him, and had no reason to expect the guy with the phone (camera) was going to push him back in their direction.

The father and son did not 'false imprison' Arbery.

The guy with the camera turned his car around and followed Arbery into the circumstances where he may have thought he needed to make a stand.

The guy with the camera may have false imprisoned Arbery. There is more evidence of that than for the other two. Since the guy with the camera did not have any reason to expect and was not complicit with the father and son in the other truck, even though he may have effectively chased him into a entrapment, non-deliberately.

And completely unaware that the other person in the other truck had a shotgun.

The prosecutor has charged malice murder, which I believe is ridiculous and can be overruled for all 3 (since the 'malice' here was Arbery trying to take the gun off him). They have also charged felony murder, which requires the murder to be committed during the act of a felony. The felony here is false imprisonment but:

a) I think there is no evidence the father and son were complicit in false imprisonment;
b) Even though there is evidence the guy with the camera was chasing him down, he was not complicit with murder because he was not complicit with the other two.

If the prosecution provided evidence of their complicity, I have not seen it and I don't believe she mentioned it.

The prosecution alleges 4 felonies. I don't see how they can possibly get it with false imprisonment. They also argue that a felony was the guy with the camera committing assault with the car. Once again, I don't think there is a direct unbroken line between this and the murder. And from what I understand, angling the car into his path (at 2mph, not believed to have hit Arbery) was defensive due to Arbery trying to open the car door.

A third felony I believe is that the son held a gun up to Arbery as he was coming back at them. And I don't know the legality of this as they were within their rights (best I can tell) to suspect him of committing a felony because: a) he trespassed (not a felony); and b) he may have committed theft (which is a felony over a certain amount).

As I understand it, you don't need proof that a person has committed a felony, but reasonable suspicion. And Arbery's behavior of running out of the place he had trespassed into (doesn't look like a jog to me) certainly arouses suspicion. And as I understand it, he does not need to tell him it is a citizens arrest, but according to their testimony they did try talking to him but he was silent.

Re: Verdict watch now in Arbery case.
One juror shook his head to the lawyer for the guy with a camera's closing statements. When this lawyer pointed it out (how we knew) he suggested the jury needed to take a break. Then I believe the juror can be heard yelling out that was not the case, and the lawyer immediately knew what it meant: his message was not getting through to this juror. It looks like that guy hired the cheapest lawyer he could afford, and it looks like at least 1 guy on the jury is going to be steadfast in convicting the guy with the camera.

So I don't think it's going to be an acquittal of him at least.

Re: Verdict watch now in Arbery case.
To be honest, as I interpret the law the feeling I have is that felony murder is inadequate for holding the gun to him if the actual killing was due to him wrestling the gun for control. While in that case he may have voided his right to self-defense as the instigator (once again, Arbery was suspected of committing a felony, that he had not is 20:20 hindsight) my feeling is a lesser murder or manslaughter charge might be more apt, but neither charge was given.

I remember hearing during the Chauvin case that the assault that leads to a persons death cannot normally be considered the felony in 2nd degree murder (felony murder). They won on the basis that Chauvin had committed a felony assault on Floyd in keeping him pinned to the ground with his knee on his neck, but experts said the felony in most states has to be disconnected from the thing that kills someone (not that I believe the pinning to the ground killed him, I believe it was a heart attack; it was the jury who concluded he was pinned to the ground as the felony and the nature of that assault killed him).

So if a person points a shotgun at someone and shoots, the felony can't be the pointing of the gun at the person.

So what we have here is something less than that: a potential felony with the intent to try and stop Arbery from coming towards their truck by pointing the gun at him and not firing. Then the firing coming from him having the gun wrestled from him. It just feels to me more like manslaughter or recklessness than felony murder? It doesn't feel like the same kind of thing as robbing a shop and accidentally murdering the shopkeeper (as the prosecutor equated it with). In that case, it may be the intent to commit theft (a second felony) not that the shopkeeper wrestles the gun after having it pointed at him. There is no separate, distinct felony (unless you can prove that he conspired to false imprison Arbery (which I believe is b/s based on what is known, it was coincidental), but his ability to claim self-defense is void.

I don't know about that... He was running down the road, went right around the truck, and then came bac to the left in the front of the truck to confront Travis.

He had every opportunity to continue to the right after he got past the truck and instead he changed direction and confronted the guy with the gun.

He also tried to grab the gun away from the guy multiple times.

I just dont think it is cut and dry.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70428285


Been reading about what transpired in this trial, and apparently the father and son saw Arbery running passed their house. They were never contacted by the guy with the camera. The guy with the phone camera, they claim, was not known to them. So no, he didn't get them to do it unless evidence demonstrates otherwise (eg. phone records). The guy with the camera acted impulsively after seeing them go by. He had EVEN LESS reason to chase after the guy as he had not previously seen Arbery trespass at a location where thousands of dollars of items had been stolen (things hadn't been stolen from the under construction house, but they had been stolen from the boat at the house).

Not saying they didn't know one another, nor I am saying I believe him. I am saying I need to see proof of a connection, which is the job of the investigators here. If they fail to provide that, they fail to do their job and deserve to lose. Either there was a connection or there wasn't. And so far, based on what I have seen, there was no counter to their claims of not knowing one another. It was coincidental.

That being said, if the above account is true, the father and son had even less reason to suspect him of a crime as that account doesn't mention they saw the trespass.

Re: Verdict watch now in Arbery case.
In my research, I found a timeline reconstruction on YouTube which seemed to show it is plausible the father and son stopped pursuit and the other merely pushed him back in the direction.

Saw another recreation this morning that shows a rather more aggressive pursuit, including the two parties using one another to entrap (falsely imprison) Arbery whether or not they knew one another.

I am open to the possibility this is felony murder. If the father and son were using the other guy (whether they knew him or not) to entrap Arbery, because they killed him (self-defense or not) then that bloodshed is on them... if they didn't have adequate justification for containing him and then lifting the rifle at him.

But the other guy, I don't see the continuum with the guy with the camera with the death. So I personally think while he may have committed a felony in false imprisonment, and potential assault with his vehicle, he is not necessarily guilty of felony murder.

100% agree.

I don’t like the law on accessories to murder- I don’t like it that a person in the car gets charged when other passengers commit murder, either. The dude following in the truck did commit felony assault with his vehicle, though- which does make him more likely to be found guilty for being a part of the whole thing.
The other two will and should be found guilty of murder. If it becomes okay to shoot an unarmed person based on a suspicion because they finally try to defend themselves with their hands- it is just a matter of time before the argument is made than none of us should have firearms.
Travis’s own testimony clearly indicates that he and his father are guilty as sin.

Re: Verdict watch now in Arbery case.
i heard some of the trial opinions

some judicial experts on FOX NEWS precisely, were saying how if you're suspecting a crime that's going on, you call the police

you can't apprehend somebody just because you THINK he might be the perpetrator

can't just civilly arrest folks on the streets

they went hunting
