If I understand the charge correctly, that's not the way it works. It's a death ancillary/subordinate to the commission of a crime.

I think you may be mistaken in that - Georgia Code. Under Georgia law murder requires malice, expressed or implied. Murder committed in the commission of another felony doesn't require malice.

Thx for that. What I was trying to say was that the murder (even without malice) was committed as a subordinate event to (i.e., during) another felony.

I think (and this is a stretch) that the prosecutor has to prove that Travis McMichael was committing another felony during which Arbery was then killed.

This is something that we'll learn probably as the trial gets closer.
