The decision of a court can be wrong. So I wouldn't rely on it like it's the last word.

And it does matter what the McMichaels thought at the time. If they could successfully prove that they really thought Arbery was a thief, then this would clear them of the murder charge. They would still be in jail, but for lesser charges.


the 2nd amendment does not give you the right to kill someone, regardless of whether or not they are a thief

I didn't say you could kill someone just because you thought they were a thief. However, if you can prove that you genuinely thought they were a thief, then what you did would be a citizen's arrest, not murder. And you would still go to jail because you did kill someone, however what you did would not amount to murder.

The matter at hand is not whether the McMichaels killed someone. It's whether they had the intention to murder when they killed Arbery.

if Arbery were still alive, then we could talk about a citizens arrest. unfortunately he's not alive so we're talking about murder

Just because Arbery is dead, it does not mean a murder took place. It could just be a homicide or a manslaughter.

once you kill someone in this country, its really not up to you to determine what you were thinking at the time or whether or not it was justified. its arbitrated by a judge and a jury

They take into account the motivation at the time of killing to determine whether it was murder or just manslaughter.

youre exactly right, in this case the evidence showed that it was murder. pretty simple to understand eh? seems like you understand the process but youre just not satisfied with the outcome

There is no evidence that can show someone's state of mind, or whether they had the intention to murder. We can only infer that, and in this case, the jury inferred wrong. They just wanted the McMichaels to go to jail for a really long time because all they could see is that some white men killed a black man.

And I am indeed unsatisfied with the outcome, because nobody has proven definitively that the McMichaels truly did have the intention to murder Arbery. Yes, Arbery is dead. However that doesn't mean a murder has taken place.
