Another poster disputes this. Can anyone rectify the claimed factual differences

Well yea look at what the 2 murders told police at the time. They said they saw someone running, not they saw him break into a house and run away. The other poster is obfuscating with something witnessed weeks prior to the murder

IMO a jury will never see the referenced video because the judge will rule pretrial that it falls outside the parameters of a legitimate/justifiable citizens arrest scenario. Thus the video results in only a prejudicial effect on the deceased and has no, or can have no, probative value as to the aforementioned citizens arrest defense.
Solid analysis, IMO.

Ok, looks like the Georgia Supreme Court defines “immediate knowledge” as “senses other than sight.”

Like using trained knowledge that the smell of marijuana indicates the physical presence of marijuana.

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.


Couple this with the daddy having direct knowledge that Ahmaud had stolen in the past....Maybe George Barnhill (2nd DA to have the case) wasn’t that far off after all.

People have become so emotional and irrational about this case that there cannot be a sound discussion


This is because the media AGAIN successfully set the hook of poor little innocent black kid killed by racist white people for no reason at all narrative

Now people are vested in their position so they won't give it up

you think this wouldn't work after the media has gotten away with it so many times but you'd be wrong

McMichaels’ actions were justified under Georgia’s open-carry law, and a separate state law allows a private citizen to attempt arrests if an “offense is committed in his presence or within his immediate knowledge.” He also noted Georgia’s stand-your-ground law allows someone who feels threatened “to use deadly force to protect himself,” without having to first try to retreat


Except he had no immediate knowledge of the crime. According to McMichael s he saw someone running and went to confront them. Stand your ground doesnt apply when you are the initiator of the violence. Its stand your ground, no go chase someone down pull a gun on them and then defend that ground. You dont have a duty to retreat, but you dont get to be the aggressor lmao.

I wouldn’t be 100 percent sure they didn’t.

The media already told us they were hunting black joggers.

So that lie is down, whatelse is being hidden/spun?

Even if they did witness it they are stupid for how out of control it got.

Don't confuse my point regarding what an individual can for see when he's stealing with anything other than that

I don't give a damn who he thinks he might get shot by stealing is a good way to get shot

He's dead because he's a thief plain and simple. Everything else is emotion based claptrap

citiznes arrest in georgia is legal. But they were still the aggressor imo. Especially since the cops were already on their way.

They would be fricked if I was on the jury.

But... Everyone needs to see this and stop with the he was just jogging. I saw this video earlier pffft or whatever posted it.

Black men are not being murdered jogging in their neighborhood by white supremacists.


Holding a gun and requesting compliance is not being an aggressor unless your intent is to kill them. Ahmaud was the aggressor because he charged them tried to take the gun. They aren’t shooting at him until he charged them.

Never cared for that argument. It doesnt matter. They have no legit justification.

No. That is simply the first of several questions.
