coffee_rules Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) https://twitter.com/i/events/1450101029597368321 Split jury still deliberating for 3 days. If verdict acquits his killers or if judge orders a mistrial, there will be a repeat of George Floyd protests and riots predicted in US and/or Europe This case was about a black man who was killed by white guys in an affluent GA neighborhood. Prosecution claims he was merely jogging in the neighborhood, defence claims the homicide happened in self-defense. It's all upto what he-says he-says, guy is dead and only obscure videos. Difficult to judge unlike the GF case. but a lot of wokes are already convinced it is a white supremacist crime and ready to outrage Quote A cellphone video taken the day of the shooting, Feb. 23, 2020, replayed in court on Thursday, shows Arbery running around the back of McMichael’s pickup truck to the passenger side as McMichael, wielding a shotgun, moves to the front and the two come face to face. McMichael said Arbery then attacked him and tried to grab his weapon, and he shot him. “He was on me,” McMichael said. McMichael said he had approached Arbery because neighbors indicated something had happened down the road in his coastal Georgia neighborhood of Brunswick and he wanted to ask Arbery about it. Arbery was running in the neighborhood at the time. He said Arbery stopped, but then took off running when McMichael told him police were on the way. @BacktoCricaddict or others in US following?

coffee_rules Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 Deadlocked jury. Even one guy is enough to cause a deadlocked jury, and it will be mistrial. Mistrial can be appealed by prosecution if they want to bring back to trial. Defense rests the case in case of mistrial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And on and on we go. Edited November 18, 2021 by BacktoCricaddict sandeep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And on and on we go. when I saw those viral videos, that is when I thought this will be difficult to prove Woke america is not a fence sitter, they have decided it is a crime and should be addressed in the BLM realm. Moderates and extreme right wants to fight it. Judgements in such crimes can't be influenced by activism or populism. Maybe I am turing into a Libertarian as I age.

Clarke Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Racial, religious, ethnic etc conflict happens across the world. What is unique in USA is that a legal gun is used to bring an end to it. ravishingravi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to each their own. Thank goodness for video evidence. Otherwise Derek Chauvin and the mcmichaels would be roaming free on the streets. zen and Mariyam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
