Maybe because I’m a woman who has had three kids destroy my bladder but my first thought was, “Maybe he had to pee.” Not that it’s right to do but it wouldn’t be unheard of. I do see the port o potty out front but if given the chance I personally would choose an indoor space. Even sped up it doesn’t look like he was all fired up to get the hell out of there. As mentioned above I have walked into homes under construction out of sheer curiosity many times without ever thinking about it.@jesusfreak75 Here's the entire video you're referring to:
https://www.ajc.com/news/crime--law...ge-ahmaud-arbery-case/xvSWFTbaD0k9cr80R7CTnL/
The video is shown at high speed, but actually covers about 13-14 minutes of unedited surveillance camera video.
The video shows a man (who Arbery's family and their attorney say is Arbery) jogging down the street. He walks over to a house under construction and enters the garage. The house is wide open and unsecured. He exits the garage and goes around to the rear of the house, out of camera view. About 5 minutes later, he emerges from the front door and jogs down the street in the same direction he was going. He did not appear to have taken anything from the house.
At worst, he was trespassing on a construction site, which is a misdemeanor. Georgia law permits "citizen arrest" only if the crime is a felony.
Therefore, the attempt to arrest Arbery was illegal. Threatening him with firearms constitutes the felony of aggravated assault...which the defendants were charged with. Therefore, felony murder. I don't know about GA law, but in Florida, felony murder can be a capital punishment case.
In the Atlanta Journal story, they say 3 shots were fired. I had not seen that before and don't know if it's accurate, but Arbery's family attorney also claims he was shot 3 times.
I had heard is was three shots before the video.
