You can't appeal a conviction unless you can prove there was some kind of violation of procedure.
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.
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.
can't sell hopium without ((( deceit ))) though. Pretty easy to tell the jews and their alts on here
Sure you can. Why do you think it takes 20 years to kill someone on death row?
Because death penalty cases are special in that they get automatic appeals.
Case in point Gregory Sturm.
Fucking EDWARD PATRICK MORGAN is still alive too.
I wonder how many times are people exonerated by these appeals versus how many times are they exonerated after their executions. It all sounds like a big waste of time to me. I'm not saying by any means that they always get the right guy, but I am saying the appeals process doesn't seem to do a lot to actually right that. Instead, it seems to find a lot of technical reasons to commute a sentence to life. Which is a lot of extra steps. I'm pro death penalty, but the implementation we have is dumb.
