Self defense doesn't apply if you're committing a crime when you do it. They have to prove they aren't guilty of the sort of instigating crime. I don't know what you call it. But the unlawful detention.
It was a lawful detention under Georgia's statute pertaining to citizen's arrest of suspected felons at the time.
The jury deliberately ignored that because they're woke anti-white bigots.
They have to have witnessed a felony or have immediate knowledge that it was. Whatever the last part means. You think they did?
They claimed they did. The jury can't mind-read, so it's immediate reasonable doubt because no one lived to claim anything to the contrary. The jury deliberately ignored evidenciary standards.
It's the same reason that if someone yells "bank robber", and I see a guy sprinting out of that bank, there is no possible way to argue beyond a reasonable doubt that my claim that I suspected him of bank robbery is a false claim.
