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.................

That's not what Georgia law says, it's quite a bit more restrictive than what you stated, as far as who can make a citizen's arrest and for what.


It was also the centerpiece of the defense and as such would have been explained to the jury in detail multiple times by people infinitely more qualified on Georgia law (including the judge) than anyone here.

A jury of their peers heard those explanations of Georgia law, heard the evidence, and didn't buy that they acted in accordance with Georgia law.

What else does anyone need?


Are you saying jury's get it right 100% of the time and there is no room to debate their verdict?

For those of you that explain legal justification fine. But in no stretch of the law was this à just legal or moral verdict.

That's a false choice. His legal obligation was to not attempt to detain Arberry at gunpoint in the first place.

Not a false choice. At some point in the interaction, that choice forced itself upon Travis. Assuming Travis didn't wish to be charged with murder also, what was his legal obligation at that point? If you cannot answer the question, the reasoning behind your general argument is fatally flawed.

No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying the self-defense angle in this case did not apply and this jury got it right.

No, it's not. His legal obligation was to not put himself in the position he put himself in. You do understand that, right?

I'm not sure I understand the arguing of a court case that has been settled, other than the punishment yet to be handed out ?

The jury gave it's verdict, judge will set sentencing...why all 3 went into trial together will be a lingering question of stupidity.

Could the same argument have been used for George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse?

No. Rittenhouse didn't attempt to detain anyone.

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?

Personal choice is something most don’t understand, make the right choice and life is good, but when the wrong choice is made it’s always somebody else fault for the outcome.
Kinda like walking into a bar full of Norwegians and shouting I hate worthless, porch swinging, pos Norwegians then blaming them for you getting your azz kicked.

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?"

Yeah, that's relevant and on point.

Dumbfuques abound.

Arbery owns being shot. You don't run up to a guy holding a shotgun and try to grab it from him, unless you're either suicidal or really really stupid (or perhaps mentally disturbed), like that Paul Barnard fellow.

Nope, instead you could piss your pants, cry like a baby girl, and beg him not to shoot you.

How well does that usually work when a mob gets wound up?

Hawkeye I agree with your theory. If you are put in that position what would you guys do. Although I would hope I never put myself in that situation.

And that's at least ONE reason why you should not be in the possession of weapons while committing a FELONY......

RE: 'arming a felon in Georgia' being a crime......... You're already in the process of committing a Felony, the one that got you in this position, it seems moot....

Okay, let's assume the jury got it right, and Travis (with all lawful intention - after all, his intention was to detain a thief for the police, a commendable act) violated some technicality of false imprisonment law. At the point of Arbery's attack upon him, in his effort to wrest his shotgun from his grasp, what was Travis's legal obligation, assuming he wished not to compound his technical violation of the law (unbeknownst to him) with a murder charge?

If we assume the jury got it right, nothing else matters, does it.
