Ahmaud Arbery Hearing Day 1 Part 2

The three defendants in the Ahmaud Arbery murder case are scheduled for court Friday morning. You can watch it in the player above at 10 a.m. ET. The Law&Crime Network’s Brian Buckmire will host live coverage.
Gregory McMichael, 64, son Travis McMichael, 34, and neighbor William Bryan, 50, are accused of chasing down the victim in a tragic confrontation on Feb. 23 in Brunswick, Georgia.
The question before the court is: Is this murder? Prosecutors and attorneys for Arbery’s family say yes. The McMichaels chased the victim in a Ford F-150, while Bryan drove a Chevy Silverado pickup truck, authorities said. Bryan filmed while father and son confronted the 25-year-old Arbery, and Travis shot the victim with 12-gauge shotgun, according to the indictment obtained by Law&Crime.
At the time of the killing, Gregory McMichael allegedly told police that they believed Arbery was involved in several burglaries in the area. But there was only one reported burglary in the area in recent weeks: a January 1 alleged theft in which a gun was stolen from a pickup truck outside Travis McMichael’s home.
911 audio from shortly before the shooting showed a caller reporting a black man in a white T-shirt at a nearby house under construction.

That's the furthest thing from a "petty" criminal act of low value theft from a commercial establishment. To burgalarize a residence in Georgia, {like many other states}, a suspect doesn't have to actually successfully steal any items of value. Next thing we know, you'll claim Mr. Aubrey was just an innocent jogger, instead of a repeat felon fleeing the scene of a residence he was just identified as having illegally entering, at a walking pace, & remaining in the residence for roughly 1 minute. Mr. Aubrey's extensive criminal history indicates "athletic running," or feigned "jogging" prior to comitting a long list of thefts, & burglaries from private residences, & retail outlets alike, both as a juvenile & well into his adulthood, was just his criminal "Motus Operendi" or common method of comitting a series of similar CRIMINAL acts.

It's a status hearing to decide issues the defense wants to raise during trial such as calling the current and former DA's of Cobb County as witnesses, whether Mr. Arbery's prior conduct and criminal history can be used to aide the defense in their self defense claim, etc. Usually conduct of the victim and the victim's criminal history is inadmissible in a homicide case unless it has something to do with proving the victim was the first aggressor in a self defense claim.

Not defending him, but he was only 6 months on the job at the time and without any formal communication training, which claimed he did not receive, he may not have known otherwise. I also want to point out that this may not actually be able to be admitted into evidence at trial because this body worn camera footage and interaction with the officer is uncharged conduct and can't be admissible as any evidence of a conviction. It also is propensity evidence, which is typically inadmissible to show that a person's conduct on specific instances indicates that an individual would've acted the same way in this particular instance. The judge seemed unmoved by many of the defense's arguments, but I guess time will tell. I think his decision of some of these motions will be helpful in getting an idea of how he might rule on similar evidence admissibility for trial.

[@maryb6672]

You are 100% correct. To give you a perspective, an RN isn’t allowed to make a mental health diagnosis for any insurance company in the United States. Meaning, if you’re only diagnosis is from an RN, no insurance company will pay for an ounce of treatment. The professions that are allowed to make a mental health diagnosis are: psychiatrists, psychologists, medical doctors, licensed counselors, clinical licensed social workers and in some states nurse practitioners (which require years more education than an RN). This witnesses knowledge of mental health is frankly embarrassing, from the perspective of someone who specializes in this field.
