Brunswick: three white people charged in the murder of Ahmaud Arber have no right to claim self defense because they are people who provoke confrontation with a 25-year-old black man while he ran in their neighborhood, a prosecutor told the jury in the cover argument Last Tuesday.
`You can’t claim self-defense if you are an irreggressor who cannot be justified,” said Linda Dunikoski.
” Who started this? Not Ahmaud Arbery.
“The prosecution got the last word because it brought a proven burden of his case outside of doubt attacking hard With his fist to fight the arrest of legitimate citizens by the defendants.
Dunikoski said Arbery’s pursuit had “no badge, no uniform, no authority ‘and` only a few strange people in a white pickup truck”.
And he quotes words they said to the police immediately after the shooting: that they saw Arber running but not sure if he had committed a crime.
“ You can’t catch citizens because someone ran on the road and you don’t know what y made a mistake, “said Dunikoski.
Once the prosecution was wrapped, a court judge who was superior by Timothy Walmsley began instructions to the white jury that was not PR Oportional about how to apply a law before you can start deliberations at the Glynn County Courthouse in Port City of Brunswick.
Arber’s murder was part of a larger national calculation in racial injustice after the graphical video of his death leaked online two months later.
Father and Son Greg and Travis McMichael won weapons and chased Arber in a pickup truck after seeing him run through their subdivision on February 23, 2020.
A neighbor, William “ Roddie ” ” Chase of the Travis McMichael opened fire when Arber Throw a punch and reaching McMichael rifle.

The three men were charged with other murders and violations.
Dunikoski said on Tuesday that McMichaels and Bryan threatened Arbery with their pickup truck and by pointing to his rifle before the last confrontation, where Arbery threw a punch and won a gun.
He noted that Bryan told the police that he used his truck to run Arber into the ditch and cut his route, while Greg McMichael told the officers they had it “ trapped like a mouse “.
The action of the two men, he said, directly contributing Arber’s death.
`No problem who really pulled the trigger,` `Dunikoski said.
‘Under the law, they are all guilty.” “He also said there was no proof of Arbery who committed a crime above the environment.
He said he had never seen anything five times he was recorded by a security camera in a house that had not been completed in which he was seen running.” You have wood, ” Said Dunikoski.
“ Mr.
Arber never appeared with a bag.
He didn’t stop with U-Haul.
…
what he did was around for a few minutes and then left.
The prosecutor to Jurors someone can only make people’s arrest The country in the ’emergency situation’ ‘where the crime happened “ at that time and there.

Lawyer Jason Sheffield said his client, Travis McMichael, fired his rifle to defend himself after Arber accused him, threw a blow and tried to take weapons.
Sheffield said Arber’s death, a tragedy, but one was his own mistake.
Lawyers for two other defendants blamed Arbery too.
