As they become available -- sure.
And guess whose 'case' he had investigated before he was retired. Guess what person he had met face to face, and knew all about that person's criminal activities.
All the more reason why this McMichael guy may have been absolutely the last person in the world who should have been out there making a "citizen's arrest" as a retired investigator.
Someone here posted the other day that Arbery's "criminal record" included an arrest for shoplifting -- in a case where he wasn't convicted. Did shoddy police work play a role in that case? Did McMichael pursue Arbery with a vendetta?

bort (and others) have repeatedly pointed out that NOTHING the McMichaels did that fateful day constituted a citizens arrest.
Au contraire. He would be the BEST choice to have make a citizen's arrest.
1. He knew the subject and his previous criminal history.
2. He knew the laws about open-carry.
3. He knew the law about citizen's arrest.
4. He knew more about THE LAWS concerned in this case than just about anyone you could ever pick at random from you neighborhood.
5. His chance at placing someone under citizen arrest and getting the police to respond and investigate are probably ten times better than if it was you or I.
No. Arbery used his race card. Got his lawyer to claim that Arbery shouldn't be held responsible for his criminal behavior because he had mental issues caused by oppression... you dig?
