He most certainly will be on trial by the criminal defense. His aggressive actions toward the shooter will have to be the basis of defense. So, while Arbery won't be on trial his actions certainly will be. To me it seems he was justified in attempting to disarm the man with a gun, but there is so much not known right now. The video seems to indicate an aggravated assault with a firearm. You can't outrun a load from a shotgun. Would a reasonable man have done what the two white men did? Would a reasonable man have tried to defend himself and disarm an attacker. Yes, Arbery's actions will be on trial.


Aggressive or defensive actions against the killer?
