Why? because he wrote a grand standing heart felt story that you politically agree with? Hes a mediocre judge throughout the trial. Some of his decisions were terrible. For example not clarifying the law. They couldn't agree with a particular jury instruction so he gave the entire jury the criminal statue for them to speculate on. He basically didn't do his job because juries are not suppose to speculate on the law, thats the judge's role. Juries are fact finders. Now hes crafting a story in sentencing that sounds good but completely contrary to what happened. Someone was burglarizing the neighborhood and a bunch of trigger happy idiots shot him. There are clearly no saints in this story yet thats the story people run with because its politically expedient to do so. Its not a fair representation of the events. The judge opened with Ahmed Arbery went out for a run and had to run for his life. That was never disclosed in trial. There was ZERO evidence that he went out just for a jog. There was every bit of evidence he was burglarizing the neighborhood. The McMIchaels however do not have direct knowledge of this so they do not have to right to conduct a citizen's arrest. Thats why its considered murder.

The Judge was correct in that the McMichael's demeanour and body language conveyed a lack of remorse. Their arrogance and contempt was on full display when they refused to stand to receive their sentence from the court.

When the judge allows camera in the court room but the camera team fails to capture first reaction of the bastards … 🤦‍♀️

I would like to know when the police that lied to Ahmaud's mother about when and why he was killed will be held accountable. Initially they told her something to the affect that Ahmaud had been shot while committing a burglary. They knew that wasn't true. They told her that to further cover for the McMichaels.

[@davea556]

"?""that Ahmaud had been shot while committing a burglary."" Define burglary: entering a home vacant or otherwise without permission. Arbery was known to police as the Jogger thief and the police had video of Arbery inside casing the place on 3 previous separate occasions. Arbery's mother had called 911 because Arbery took her car keys and she told the responding police that her son suffered from a severe mental illness - if police confront him he will become violent. Enough said? 1 + 1 = 2. skin color is not a factor.

[@timewarp691]

@@davea556 Here we go again. The law in Georgia says what Ahmaud did in that construction site was not burglary. And even if it was, Ahmaud was not shot "while committing any crime" he was shot while running down the street. It was proven in evidence that A. A. was not known as the jogger thief, even the owner of the property said that he had never stolen anything from the property. The evidence showed that what AA did amounts to "trespassing" at best. The police testified to that, the prosecution stated that multiple times, the property owner confirmed that nothing was ever taken by AA, and the Mc Michaels, on that day, didn't SEE him do anything but run down the street. You people always make up lies.

@@timewarp691 Judge defined Burglary for the jury. Entering a vacant building qualifies and we all know what Arberys intent was don’t we. Yes he was known as the jogger thief that evidence was part of the history the judge denied the jury to hear. And arbury suffered from a severe mental illness where Arbery admitted to hearing voices that commanded him to rob and hurt people. Arbery was prescribed medication that medication to control his violent reactions. However blood tests revealed Arbery was not taking his medication on the 23rd - Bingo !

The prosecuter was amazing, she really fought for Ahmaud. The jury did the right thing. The judges speach was so impacrful and the way he has conducted himself, others should take note Ahmaud RIP

This judge is awesome 👏 Thank You 🙏

Absolutely love this judge !!!

[@barrettlori9249]

The Judge is right, many people today do not take responsibility UNTIL the reality of their actions bite. I also blame society! WHY did these men, right up to the "reality" check, did they think this was ok!? Video and audio showing their arrogance, initially provided AS EVIDENCE for defense! HOW can they be so blind!? Shame on us ALL!! 😭

[@reneecollins9681]

What an awesome judge...how sad that in this country we are shocked to have a judge of such character & knowledge/respect of the law...and still have compassion. Thankful that the jurors did their job & the judge supported their verdict. May God wrap Ahmaud's family in his arms & bless them. Proud of my state tonight.

Goodness gracious, how will the Guilty be able to pay their lawyer if they can't profit from their murderous crime? PUBLIC DEFENDER How dare their lawyer even suggest a "Profit for Murder"!

The judge is only willing to listen to them being able to Pay for their Appeal. Not Profit. Why should the Good People of Georgia pay for their appeal?

Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent. Life for a life. Our justice system is no longer just or a system. I find it repugnant and cruel to let murderers live. It's a slap in the face to the victims who will have NO closure until he is dead. Disgusting.
