To be simple, again. Ahmaud Arbery was the only person that night in that place who was entitled by Georgia law to use deadly force.
So, when Arbery attacked Travis McMichaels in an attempt to snatch his shotgun, what was Travis McMichael's legal obligation, assuming he wished to avoid being charged with murder? Please be specific.
While committing a felony and actions that promote or provoke the other person to use force, you have backed yourself into a corner with little to no outs..
If you kill him this trial shows where it goes. If he kills your buddy you can still be charged with Felony Murder.
To answer your question though, back away and hope noone gets shot. But they were already 'too far in' for that.................
If he's not able to use lethal force to prevent it, that only leaves him the choice of handing Arbery the shotgun, i.e., handing a shotgun to someone fitting the description of a local felon? Setting aside the lunacy of handing a shotgun to a suspected felon in the midst of a confrontation with him, is it even legal to arm a suspected felon in Georgia?
LOL, earth to TRH. Would losing control of a shotgun during a struggle with a guy bigger and stronger than you be considered "arming a felon?"
