The jury completely ignored Georgia's self defense law. There.
That's not a procedural violation. The jury are the finders of fact. If they found that self defense doesn't apply, you can't appeal their finding.
You can only appeal if a juror violated jury instructions, or expressed an opinion of the defendants’ guilt before deliberation.
The jury ignored the fact that Georgia's self-defense law only required the arresting party to suspect Arbery of commiting a felony. As the jury are not mind readers, there is no way for them to dispute the lawful detainer based on the evidence supplied. Ergo, the stop was inarguably valid. Ergo Arbery initiating violence automatically makes it self defense.
The jury ignoring all evidence is a procedural violation.
If the jury found that the evidence presented was convincing beyond a reasonable doubt that they did not suspect jogger boy of committing a felony, then there's no procedural violation.
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?
