All three defendants have rested their case. Jury has been dismissed until Monday morning.
It came out that Arbery has a long history of being caught in places he didn't belong (10 separate incidents) and being hostile or doing unexpected things when he was questioned by the police. In addition to being convicted on a plea deal for taking the gun to the girls basketball game.
Also witnesses were apparently forbidden to testify that the crime wave in the neighborhood stopped after he was killed.
But the judge excluded all of this evidence, even though it would have been relevant to his propensity to grab the gun and fight.
All of that came out in the court trial
or did you read that on the same website as Gavin Newsom suffering from a gruesome injury after getting his Covid vaccination ???
Only news report I've read since the court trial started was below...
---------
During the trial, the site's owner, Larry English Jr, testified that the man in question had not disturbed or damaged his property during the visit.
Mr English said cameras had spotted other people - including children and a white couple - trespassing on his property, but he never authorised the McMichaels to enter his property or confront anyone.
Jurors were also shown bodycam footage of the armed McMichaels searching for a suspected burglar at Mr English's property 12 days before the jogger was killed.

I'm no lawyer but I think the property owner testified that no crime was committed and that others including the McMichaels had trespassed on his property...
The law at the time in Georgia states for a citizen to make an arrest...they must have visually seen a crime occur as it was occurring.
I think there's a big problem with the "citizen arrest" angle that lead to the shooting of this guy that posed no threat to the shooters when no weapons were found on the dead guy and there's video evidence that he was just jogging down the street making no threats nor committing a crime.
Rittenhouse has a better self-defense case than these guys in Georgia.
