Don’t know.

Entering a dwelling with intent to steal is a felony I. Georgia.

So same as the McMichaels.

in her 911 call she yells at the guy “I’m going to shoot you!”


How is that different? He was resisting a citizens arrest. Why would he do that?

either they witness it in person or know of it within a relatively quick timeframe, can't be a stale offense or felony

One of those posters cited precedence via a Georgia Winn Dixie case where a clerk attempted, illegally, a citizens arrest. Courts said since he didn't see the thief steal the customers wallet/purse he couldn't attempt a citizen's arrest.

Hardly an instance of "which is of course wrong".

It has been interpreted to mean “in person.” If you have other instances of its interpretation, feel free to share.

You don’t have to witness it in Georgia. We’ve been over this and you’ve made great strides, let’s not regress.

Well, she said she was going to shoot him for lack of compliance not because of an attack. Hurts her position doesn’t it?

No certificate of occupancy for that building, so it's not a dwelling yet.

Moreover, was there intent to steal?

Moreover, did the McMichaels even see him enter the house under construction?

There are lots of stupid lawyers and judges, should I start listing some instances?

You haven’t established what the law means. I’m the only one between the two of us who has cited a case. And the interpretation clearly doesn’t support your contention. Feel free to cite a counter example.

No. You can continue to argue solely on the basis of your own idiocy.

That’s actually an interesting point. Do we know how that’s applicable to Georgia law?

A wonderful legal defense. "Yes, your honor, I understand the precedence of this law, but it was set by stupid lawyers and judges!"

Can I get you on retainer?

In many instances there's no specifically legal definition used for terms or phrases included in the law, in which case the plain, everyday import of the terms or phrases is used.

In general, the following are accepted plain import of the terms at issue....

Immediate: happening now or right away.

Knowledge: acquaintance or familiarity gained by sight, experience, or report.

**It's up to the finder of fact to apply it from there.

How was this a citizen's arrest? Is chasing after someone and saying you want them to stop and talk considered a "citizen's arrest"? I'm no legal scholar but that doesn't seem like enough to be called a citizen's arrest to me. Have the McMichaels' attorneys come out and said they were planning on using citizen's arrest as part of their defense?

It’s not. Assuming you know the meaning of a legal term while ignoring how it’s been applied is idiocy.
