It does. He was reasonably believed to be the burglar that had been plaguing the neighborhood. Citizens are permitted to detain for the police those reasonably believed to be burglars, and citizens may be armed while doing so. If you are a burglar, you should expect to be confronted by armed citizens. Or at least that is the case in any sane society.
Reasonably believed or were guessing?
Had a burglary just occurred immediately prior to this incident?
I read today that GA law does not allow forced detention citizen arrest. I guess they have to agree to be detained?
Had these men previously ID’d the jogger and knew his rap sheet or was that after the fact?
I haven’t followed this trial much.
