The Department of Justice (DOJ) is considering whether to pursue federal hate crime charges in the death of Ahmaud Arbery, the black man investigators say was shot by a white father and son as he ran through a Georgia neighborhood.
"The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia have been supporting and will continue to fully support and participate in the state investigation," a statement from DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said Monday.
Kupec continued: "We are assessing all of the evidence to determine whether federal hate crimes charges are appropriate. In addition, we are considering the request of the Attorney General of Georgia and have asked that he forward to federal authorities any information that he has about the handling of the investigation. We will continue to assess all information, and we will take any appropriate action that is warranted by the facts and the law."

“ According to Neal Boortz “. Please, I listened to his podcast and his legal analysis is laughable. He has never handled the criminal case in his life as an attorney.
I will defer to your vast experience in laughable legal analysis.
In some cases it does, but not in this case.
What's happening is the Georgia Attorney General - and perhaps the Governor - recognizes they have a hot political potato in their lap. They have arrests and charges that will satisfy the mob just so long. And if the state loses the case before a jury then very powerful forces will be released against the state.
It is the state that is seeking federal intervention so any not guilty verdict can be blamed on somebody else. Or better yet, the feds can conduct a second trial in a larger federal jurisdiction.
Plus, the FBI can still be expected to reliably carry water for the blue-state culture.
I do have a question for you.
Can the defense access and use in court juvenile arrest records of the deceased, if there are any, in the promised upcoming trial?
For those who say you are a prick I say “no comment.” Cricket crotch.
Juvenile records can be accessed in most homicide cases, if the defendant can show relevance. In this case, the state of mind of the deceased is at issue. His juvenile records may show mental health issues that explain his violent run at the guy with the shotgun. Additionally, if there were prior instances of him running from or attacking law enforcers. The case where he brought a handgun to a basketball game, ran from the cops, etc. will likely be admissible at trial. This occurred when he was 19. Juvenile records are typically discoverable. The issue is whether the defense can use the dirt in those records.
Umm...like never?
Nope. We supposed to sit back and take it
100%!
And NEITHER AG NOR GOVNAH have a background in criminal justice or the law. That makes a difference in those who bandwagon on with racehustlers
This is what happens with the media is successful with their race hustling lies.
If you give a mouse a cookie....they always want more!
And I can attest many you see here doing this double as south bashers calling my ancestors same as nazis
They are disgusting and Jim should have shown them the door long ago
Many he has but some skate by
Given the facts, it is very hard to see how a jury would convict.
Way too much reasonable doubt of guilt.
The one who has it now might be relatively immune from lynching in the Media. She is a black Republican.
