These guys had two DA’s pass on the case and probably a third headed that way...
DA Johnson passed cause of conflict of interest.
with McMichael Snr. having worked in their dept
for 20 yrs before recently retiring... they handed
the case to DA Barnhill who also recused himself
also due to conflict of interest/ his attorney son
working in the same dept. as G. McMichael.
George Barnhill wrote to Glynn County Captain Tom Jump
Feb 23rd, saying that "it appears" the McMichaels were
justified in their 'hot persuit' citizen arrest, because they
had "first hand solid probable cause" that Arbery was
a burglary suspect..
(also citing the GA statute for citizen arrest in the letter.)
However the owner of the property in the video
MR. English, has said he has not had anything
stolen or reported any such.
What chance does the defence have of proving
that Arbery committed a felony?.. (ie) how
they going to show that Arbery was conducting
burglary/ there with 'intent' to commit robbery...?
For the record the current DA assigned to the case
is Mr.Durden.
