Facts & Myths about Arbery Case
Vanity | May 10, 2020 | Bort

Posted on 05/10/2020 6:06:59 PM PDT by bort

I am a veteran criminal law attorney who has tried more than 300 criminal jury trials, handled thousands of other criminal cases, racially-divisive cases, etc. We have dozens of "citizen lawyers" on Free Republic who are posting insane, inane, wrong, and crazy "facts," "law," and conclusions. I have studied this case inside and out. Let me give you some insight, and feel free to post some questions....

...They may be found not guilty but they are going to pay a couple hundred thousand in legal fees...

Zimmerman had a lot more than that donated to him. Go Fund Me probably won't accept this kind of case any longer, but someone will.

...Don’t go chasing down the street after folks with a shotgun. You are not a cop. Call the real cops...

Do not forget that the elder McMichael had been a cop for 37 years and was only recently retired.

You already know how stupid half this forum is....ma’am

Like me you’ve been here a while

Half the folks just spout off ignorant and they love to virtue signal over race

I know better than most here that fact due to where I’m from

We have a Vermont racetard on here doing it right now

As one retired from law enforcement, I totally agree with your assessment.

I briefed Janet Reno on her first case involving a [bad] police shooting. She lost the case at the Grand Jury stage, but went on in her Miami career to make your many FReeper-detractors happy.

The Janet Reno armed raid into Elián González’ house makes my case.

To: Treeless Branch

12 miles from his home

Brunswick is overwhelming black in city proper

County less so

So the race query is muted by race availability pool

Like say Jackson miss or Memphis TN

He had been spotted robbing or attempted to here before day his train pulled into the final station

Known to dad and son

“It would appear so wouldn’t it? It is legal to walk down the street with a shotgun in clear view. It is legal to make a citizen’s arrest.

ipso facto....”

It’s legal to walk down the street with a shotgun in clear view. It’s legal to make a withdrawal from the bank. Using a shotgun to make a bank withdrawal is not “ipso facto” legal. Let’s not be silly.

Ultimately, all this is speculation on everyone’s part. A trial should put all the facts out there and see the law applied to those facts. I have no idea whether these guys did something wrong (legally or ethically). But I do know there’s a guy who’s dead and it isn’t completely clear that it was a pure act of self defense. So a trial is a good thing to have to get to the bottom of things.
