Oh does Georgia let folks use deadly force to arrest for a misdemeanor?
They did not use deadly force to effectuate an arrest. Their truck was parked in a road, the younger McMichael was carrying a shotgun, and the elder McMichael with standing in the bed of a pick up truck with his gun holster. They asked him to stop. The deadly force came when the deceased decided to run 14 feet and attack the guy with the shotgun.
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....
But try to work it out for yourself if you are having difficulty.
If you have a problem with that, don't move here.
But you really know that is not what happened. The younger McMichael did not use deadly force to arrest for a misdemeanor. He armed himself in case a suspected thief was armed.
He only used deadly force at the moment he was forced to defend himself from being disarmed by a suspected criminal. The elder McMichael did not even use his pistol which goes to prove they had not intended to commit murder. Also the fact that they did call 911 proves they did not intend to commit murder. Their only intent was to prevent a thief from fleeing until the police got there.
The DA Barnhill also stated that Arbery more than likely caused the shotgun trigger to be pulled when he grabbed the gun.
