Arbery verdict imminent

Guilty!!!

Travis M guilty of malice murder.

But…but…what about his toenails?!?

Guilty on all counts. Yes!

A black audience member had to be removed for misbehavior.

Greg M guilty felony murder.

Guilty...thank god there's some sanity left in the world.

Guilty!!!!!!!

The other guy might get off.

Wm Brian Guilty felony murder.

First guy all guilty, the second guy all but first count, third guy guilty on all but the first two counts not guilty of assault count 6 but guilty of count 7 and guilty on all the rest.

Now that's a just jury.

Weird haircut guy looks scared...and he should.

Once again, Georgia gets it right. Too bad Wisconsin has become a MAGA shithole--maybe we should build a wall around Madison.

Very glad to hear this. That jury did its job with a complicated case of all those defendants and charges. And the judge didn’t make a spectacle of himself.

I swear if these guys had gotten off, I’D have rioted and I’m a pacifist.

The defense’s strategy of trying to strike all of the black jurors didn’t work out so well, did it?

That prosecutor is a star. She very simply, very forcefully laid out the facts and let them speak for themselves. She never once screamed "racism" or played politics because she didn’t have to. Very smart.

I agree with R18. I think we would have seen a very different outcome with Rittenhouse with a different prosecutor.

Good news. I find live verdicts so captivating, even the voir dire.

The jury wanted to wrap this up before Thanksgiving. As Maxine Waters says, they were found guilty, guilty, and guilty.

This case was so open and shut obvious, if they had been acquitted, we would've deserved whatever happened after.

Jogging in a white neighborhood isn't a crime. This was a lynching.

Finally, a victory for human decency in this world. I was beginning to think there wasn't any left.

Armery was not 'jogging'. He used it as a way of scoping-out properties to burglarize.

They should have waited for the Police. Too many people are trying to take matters into their own hands, with tragic results.

[quote]I think we would have seen a very different outcome with Rittenhouse with a different prosecutor.

Not so sure. The Judge was clearly working for the defense and the third guy who was shot should have conveyed that in his mind he Rittenhouse was a threat him being an active shooter.

Best news I've had in ages! And, as usual, I see it on DL first.

I commend the judge in this case for staying reasonable and maintaining his judicial demeanor throughout some batshit racist actions by the defense. You know these three will appeal, and the judge's actions will make that very hard for them.

Mr. Arbery,like so many in thesew situations,was actually a thieving piece of shit with a criminal record. He was no more "jogging" than the man in the moon. However,those fucking idiots had NO right to do what they did.Justice was served,but lets see how fast the lawsuits start flying from the family .Ghetto lottery dont ya know. 2 weeks ago,before the race baiting preachers rolled into town,there was about 6 protestors .Once those racist fucks rolled in,next thing you know its a thing. I know,because this is literally right up the street from me. Notice how its ALWAYS the criminals that get killed and they make into saints,yet the hard working father of 3 or the college student with the bright future that was killed by one of their own dont even get a mention. So sick of the hypocrisy in the black community.

[quote] I know,because this is literally right up the street from me.

Wow, I’m so shocked after that erudite post of yours that you’re from this racist piece of shit town !

Oh here's that POS Reverend Al speaking who MSNBC employs and who has absolutely nothing to do with this case.

Al's neck looks like it can barely support that freakishly large head.

Thief. He was shot because he grabbed the gun. Self-defense.

Why is this site being overrun by KKK members?

All our covert and overt racist trolls - SO TRIGGERED! And right before the Thanksgiving when they'll be doing some dressing up in white sheets with the rest of their redneck families.

[quote]Before the day of his death, Arbery had been spotted on surveillance footage inside the construction site of a Brunswick, Ga. house owned by local homeowner Larry English. Residents of the community had reported crime in the Satilla Shores neighborhood, including thefts of belongings from English’s boat and a gun from Travis McMichael’s unlocked truck.

[quote]Neither of the parties asserted any evidence tying Arbery to either crime, and English testified that he never authorized the McMichaels and Bryan to confront people on his property.

[quote]During opening statements, a different attorney for Travis McMichael framed the case as one about his client’s “duty and responsibility” to his community. The three men claim to have had probable cause to suspect Arbery of a burglary and wanted to execute a citizen’s arrest.

[quote]Defense summations followed the same template, adding a refrain that sometimes “duty and responsibility” is “intertwined with heartache and tragedy.” McMichael’s lawyer depicted his client’s actions as an unanticipated escalation of his effort to hold Arbery long enough for the authorities. He argued that his client was right to be suspicious when Arbery ran away from the property and would not speak to him.

[quote]Defense summations fell shortly after the prosecution systematically tore into the citizen’s arrest claims. A citizen’s arrest, prosecutors noted, only can be effectuated when a felony is committed in front of you or takes place within your immediate knowledge. For the latter, Dunikoski compared immediate knowledge to a person watching security camera footage in real time at Walmart and seeing an offense occur. Prosecutor Dunikoski said that Arbery was a “lookie-loo” on English’s property—a misdemeanor, at most, she said. Glynn County police Officer Robert Rash testified during the trial that he would have let off Arbery with a warning.

Sorry Redneck Fucks, I wouldn't talk to your ass either if you came up to me in a public place and demand to know what I'm doing. No matter how many guns you buy to make up for your microdick, you're not a cop.

Thank God. I hope those disgusting motherfuckers are locked away for life with no parole

[quote]Sorry Redneck Fucks, I wouldn't talk to your ass either if you came up to me in a public place and demand to know what I'm doing. No matter how many guns you buy to make up for your microdick, you're not a cop.

I wouldn't answer them either if they approached me like that...but I suspect that because of the color of my skin I wouldn't have been shot.

Arbury's father is a remarkable man... just wow... he has my respect.

R27 also hates that Ahmaud Arbery had long dirty toenails.

I hope they all get the death penalty.

Not suprised with this verdict just as I wasn't surprised with the Rittenhouse verdict. They both make sense given the evidence and the charges. Everyone is such afanatic these days. They only look at cases through the lens of their politics so verdicts are right and wrong purely for political reasons.

Interesting that progressive who support bail reform, minors not being tried as adults and the end of the death penalty completely reverse their positions when the "other side." is involved. It's kind of comical.

The problem with the Rittenhouse case wasn’t the trial; it was Wisconsin law. The prosecution has the burden of proof. They must prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that it was not self-defense. Very difficult.

[quote]They both make sense given the evidence and the charges.

Horse shit. KKKyle got off because the judge and jury were part of the klan.

Those boys thought they were home and free for the first year or so thanks to the racist DAs in their county.

A mostly white jury correctly convicted these three white men. At some point people will have to stop claiming that everything is "systemically racist".

R44 how about the fact that this crime was covered up for months and that public pressure was required to get this fat fucks arrested?

Exactly r45. This case came so close to not even seeing the light of day. And those assholes came very close to getting away with it.

Two things can be true at once.

I was afraid r24 and r31 were two different racist dirtbags, but blocking the first made the latter disappear, so fortunately it was just the same racist dirtbag.

The Jogger:

"Court documents introduced by the defense now contradict this narrative and not only show that Arbery had a long criminal history in multiple jurisdictions, including a widely reported incident in which he brought a gun to a high school, but that he was actually a well-known burglar and shoplifter known locally as “the jogger” because he would use jogging as his alibi when questioned by police, or as a facade before, during, and after committing a crime.

“On October 23, 2018, Burke County reports and Burke County officer bodycam video reveal Mr. Arbery and two juveniles were confronted in a vacant mobile home by the Burke County Sheriff’s Office,” a portion of the court documents read. “Mr. Arbery Ran when confronted by the authorities. He was later caught and lied, stating he was just out running.” Arbery was later charged with obstruction in connection with the case.

In the months leading up to his death, Arbery was once again investigated for crimes centered around jogging when a string of convenience store robberies put him back on the radar of police.

“In 2019 and 2020,” the documents read, “local convenience store witness interviews reveal Mr. Arbery became known as ‘the jogger’ for his repeated conduct and behaviors of running up, stretching in front, and then entering several convenience stores where he would grab items and run out.” According to the documents, Arbery became violent on several occasions when confronted about his criminal behavior.

“In 2020, witness cell phone video reveals Mr. Arbery was confronted at a convenience store by employees about his theft conduct and behavior. Mr. Arbery, cornered about his thefts, chose to fight a man who worked on the location…”

Except r31, there was no evidence he stole anything you jackoff. Blocked as well—racist and a dum dum.

I don't care what he did... the law does not lie in hands of three bubbas with a pick up and shot gun. There is no whatabout here.

May they all get gangbanged and fisted in prison.

[quote][R44] how about the fact that this crime was covered up for months and that public pressure was required to get this fat fucks arrested?

Or how the defense tried to stack the jury by eliminating people of color. Or how the one defense attorney wanted to ban black pastors or how the other felt "long dirty toenails" would resonate with the jury.

After today's verdict I'm actually feeling like there may be a tiny bit of hope for rural Georgia.

[quote] Horse shit. KKKyle got off because the judge and jury were part of the klan.

Why would the judge AND the [bold]entire jury[/bold] (laughable on its face) being klanspeople care about a case in which one white guy killed two other white guys and injured a third white guy?

Because they dead white guys were Allie’s against police brutality of POC r54.

R54 Why were white Freedom Riders attacked?

White people protesting on behalf of black people will be looked at with disdain.

[quote] The problem with the Rittenhouse case wasn’t the trial; it was Wisconsin law. The prosecution has the burden of proof. They must prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that it was not self-defense. Very difficult.

There is nothing wrong with that law. It places the burden where it belongs - on the government.

That is the law in many other places and it is the law in my jurisdiction - D.C.

African American defendants benefit from this law as well.

Self defense laws need to be changed. It is a legitimate thing to defend yourself. But the use of deadly force is very, very seldom necessary for that. If you are pursuing someone, it cannot be "self defense." When you are holding a gun against an unarmed person, killing is not self defense. You could argue self defense for shooting someone in the leg to keep them from attacking you, but killing them? Reasonable force is supposed to be reasonable...

I agree with R27.

[quote] You could argue self defense for shooting someone in the leg

SMFH.

Have you learned nothing from the numerous threads we’ve had here? Do you think you’re in a TV fucking western?

Such looong faces at Fox "News." They were rooting for racist killers - kind of says it all.

^ Really? LOL. That's so awesome.

Granted, there will be disappointed graphics and music people at all the channels and networks, now they don't get to use the Thanksgiving Riots creative.

[quote] I agree with R27.

Sure you do, Drive-By Right Wing Troll. This is your only post on DL.

Those guys terrorized and killed him. Unacceptable.

The racist shitstain here should go back to talking about which fatties he finds attractive.

Finally, justice...unlike Rittenhouse.

Self defense situations are usually very fast moving scenarios and you use what you have and you aim where you can. It's very easy to sit at your keyboard in a calmly and dispassionately dissect these events as if people really have that kind of luxury.

The Rittenhouse videos should be all people need to know to see how it all went down. Including the earlier videos of how crazy and violent Rosenbaum was behaving and directing that rage at Rittenhouse.

Often by the time you have to use self-defense you could already be injured or incapacitated or even just disoriented and there is often a strength disparity between the attacker and the attacked. Stronger people or people with their adrenaline pumping to the point they want to attack you are usually working off a surge of power.

None of the people who attacked Rittenhouse were unarmed. Not even Rosenbaum who was trying to get that gun. A man who had been acting violently erratic all night and had focused on Rittenhouse, this young looking and not very strong teen, to the point that he threatened to kill him if he got him alone. You want to take your chances that he just wanted to get your gun to clean it for you. The naivete is amazing here.

Even if the Wisconsin law had been different, Rittenhouse's situation would have still met the self defense laws in any state because he retreated at least three times in that scenario until he could retreat no further. Two of those attackers (Rosenbaum and Huber) tried to wrest his gun from him which in and of itself is grounds for self defense anywhere.

Thankfully Rittenhouse had a good common sense jury who didn't try to suggest he pepper spray his attackers in the leg.

Someone shoot r27. Shoot to kill.

All three of those filthy rednecks had convinced themselves they we're going home today...lol.

The looks on their faces as the verdicts we're being read was priceless. They found out, that just because you're a white man in AmeriKKKA, shit ain't gonna always go you're way.

That white privilege card declined Hard today.

LOL!

Three Bubbas headed for a life of misery.

Good Riddance.

I haven't followed it that closely but I think there's one who may get a lesser sentence.

[quote]I haven't followed it that closely but I think there's one who may get a lesser sentence.

They were all convicted of Felony Murder, which in GA has a mandatory life in prison sentence.

R63–I have thousands of posts.

[Quote]I haven't followed it that closely but I think there's one who may get a lesser sentence.

R70 Travis McMichael, the one who pulled the trigger, was convicted of malice murder. He won't be eligible for parole at all (unless it's reversed on appeal).

The other two, convicted of felony murder, will be eligible for parole in about seven years. That being said, the average person who is actually granted parole will have spent about 25 years in prison.

Jury is filled with self-loathing whites. Woke. Political. Hopefully re-trial.

Ahmaud finally gets justice. May he rest in peace. Amen.

"Let's disbar this motherfucker!"

(Background voice directed towards the defense lawyer while discussing the outcome of the case.)

(It's at 2:27 of the clip.)

Kevin Gough's law firm is not a white shoe one, rather a white sheet one.

Not by a shadow of a doubt, R41, but by a reasonable doubt.

Ex-prosecutor Jackie Johnson charged with obstructing police, violating oath of office

R73, thanks for the deets. That's about what I heard that what they were shooting for was a parole eligible sentence.

Oh, but you should care, r51. If Aurbrey had been stopped and properly prosecuted for his criminal activities years ago, perhaps he'd still be alive.

All those WWs for R51. Pathetic.

R81 and R81: Go shove your cocks up the barrels of your guns. Confident they're small enough to fit.

Huh.

Make no mistake these guys were emboldened in their racism and actions by the former lardass in chief. He made these types think this was okay and they'd get away with it.

Due to the corruption, they almost did.

Had this video not gone viral, they would’ve gotten away with it.

R74 is a self loathing white.
