Still unsure if he will get a 1st or 2nd charge. Not sure if they should push that far because the videos clearly show a struggle before shots. So defense lawyers have very good grounds for self defense. Unsure what the stand you ground laws are there.
The big issues are
1. Prosecution seems to have enough evidence to prove he's a racist so they can push a hate crime angle to this.
2. He PUT himself in a position uneedingly to use force. Its difficult to prove he stopped Arbery to kill him.
There was a case a while back where an old white man suspected robbers were going to hit his house. Instead of calling the police, or locking doors, etc he purposely made it look like he wasn't home and made it easier for robbers to come in to the house. He then sat and waited and then shot them when they came in. The big controversy here is he purposely made it easier for the robbers to enter SO he could shoot them. I don't know if anyone remembers this case and the details and what ended up happening but I think its the same principle here.
