I can understand this. Seems like it would serve no purpose other than to prejudice the jury. By itself the license plate doesn't prove anything.

quote:

The motion alleged that prosecutors plan to introduce the photo to "draw the conclusion" that when Arbery, a Black man, saw the license plate, "he interpreted its meaning" and feared the McMichaels and that is why he ran away from them. Additionally, the McMichaels' attorneys claim prosecutors will use the photo to "create the inference" that Travis McMichael used the license plate to "telegraph some reprehensible motive, bias, or prejudice," which they contend is not true.

Lawyers for the father and son accused of chasing and killing Ahmaud Arbery in February 2020 have asked a judge in Georgia to ban photo evidence of a vanity license plate, which includes a Confederate emblem, that was on the pickup truck they used to pursue him.

We have people jog through our neighborhood too. They end up relocating many items.

For what? Arbery grabbed the shotgun. He literally tried to disarm a man holding a shotgun. It's on video.

Vanity license plate... Is this a state tag, or a big Confederate flag?

I'm okay with either one-but I have a lot more questions if the tag was state issued, or if it was something else...

Arbery wasn't running because of some freaking license plate, but those two doofuses need to spend several decades in jail. Introducing that license plate would only have the effect of inflaming the jury.

Is this the part where we’re trying to justify the McMichaels chasing after Arbery?

They thought Arbery burglarized a house. They had every right to stop him.

Georgia Law

O.C.G.A. 17-4-60 (2010)
17-4-60. Grounds for arrest

" A private person may arrest an offender if the offense is committed in his presence or within his immediate knowledge. If the offense is a felony and the offender is escaping or attempting to escape, a private person may arrest him upon reasonable and probable grounds of suspicion."

No need to justify it. Community policing is what everyone wants these days.

First off, this dude wasn’t just jogging.

Second, they had no right to make a citizens arrest and ended up killing a man. They will face the consequences of that.

And it doesn’t matter how you feel. Ga state law says they had no right to engage this guy because they didn’t witness him committing an actual crime.

The police were called by a guy standing across the street from the house under construction. Ahmad sprints out of the house at some point in the video footage and not long after a police car zooms by on the camera.

You thinking this is community policing is disgusting. And I’m not a liberal. And you aren’t a conservative just a morally bankrupt and disgusting human being
