Personally think both get convicted of nothing - the only thing that could swing the case against these two is the guy filming - he appears to be the only eye witness - worried they are gonna threaten to charge him if he doesn't tell the story they want to hear - good thing is - he has stated what happened immediately following altercation - and u can rest assure it helps these two - so he would be changing his story and lose all credibility

You may be right, but if they go to prison, then the state clearly isn't sticking to their own rulebook.
Because based on those laws, they did nothing wrong.
Morally maybe, but not legally.
Doesn't their state law state citizens can make an arrest in such an instance?
They had the gun but did not just gun the guy down.
The guy tried to take it from them.
It's not really complicated.
Unfortunately for those 2 men, like most jurors do, they won't abide by the laws of the land and 'without a reasonable doubt' rule.
A) I don't really know what the Georgia State Law stipulates you're allowed/not allowed to do in regards to a citizen's arrest. That will help me understand.
B) If two guys pulled up on me quickly and one guy jumped out with a long rifle, I'd be pretty nervous and act accordingly. I wouldn't necessarily run at the shooter but he reacted differently that I would have.
But how can you not know this??
It's been talked about everywhere how their state law allows it.
They didn't break one single law, based in their state.
These guys talk about it listen:
I find it odd you're literally in this thread arguing with other posters but you want to talk to me about arguing? Very ironic indeed but I digress.
If you think it's normal for random people to just enter under construction homes for whatever reason, you live in a very different world than me.
By the way, entering an under construction home is trespassing. You know doing that isn't routine. We waste our time when we entertain these types of things.
The Georgia citizens arrest statute will be key to the defense. My understanding is that a felony under Georgia law would have had to have been committed for a citizens arrest to be attempted. The opinions I have seen indicate walking through a house under construction is not a felony in Georgia. If that is the case, and the McMichaels were wrong in their attempt, they are fucked.
They finally got her dependancy of oxygen down enough to send her home.
Still relying on lower levels though.
Thank you for asking
