One of many problems. There was only one burglary reported in the neighborhood. McMichaels Junior reported his pistol being stolen out of his truck. No other burglaries were reported to the police.
Now. One might wonder how this rash of burglaries happened without anything actually being stolen.
They just wanted to talk to him but he bolted and ran, like most perps do, so they tried to stop him.
Well finally we are getting to the actual crimes that occurred on that day. The crime, the first one actually is Attempted False Imprisonment.
False imprisonment is the crime of confining someone to a place against their will when you do not have the authority to do so. Atlanta false imprisonment defense lawyers at Ghanayem & Rayasam can help you if you are facing criminal charges for false imprisonment.

Because Dumb, Dumber, and even dumber did not have any first hand knowledge of a crime committed by Arbury their attempt to stop him is anFelony under Georgia law.
He grabbed a guy's gun and it went off and killed him.
Here we have arrived at another crime. The crime in Georgia, where I live, is called Aggravated Assault. That means you were waving the bang stick around in a threatening manner. It is also a Felony. So we have two felonies by the McMichaels and nobody has been shot yet.
Like I said, if they wanted to murder the guy they could have done it out of video range and before he had a chance to grab someone's gun. They could have then buried the body without anyone knowing. You all want to hang them for being racist but, you are the racist ones. You are worse than than those guys, all they wanted to do was talk to the guy, you want to apply racist labels and hang the guys with no trial, no judge and no jury.
So even by your description of events. Using Georgia Law. We have the McMichaels committing multiple Felonies. Which is why they are all charged with Felony Murder. A death that occurs during the commission of a felony is murder. Even if you didn’t want to kill him.
Otherwise every armed robber would argue the killing was self defense.
Now they are in jail awaiting trial. That is common in murder arrests. Judges rarely grant bail for people accused of Murder.
As for me labeling them Racist. Well their own words did that. It was not me jumping to conclusions. It was the words they spoke. Including to the police.
This is Georgia. Generally speaking we don’t mind if you kill an intruder in your home. We look with more interest at a shootout in the street. But if you were minding your own business at the time chances are we won’t raise a fuss.
Technically. Under Georgia Law. The man acting in his own defense was Arbury. He was being assaulted and pursued by armed men. If he had killed them it would have been stand your ground. Self defense.
