No. First time posting about it or about shunning. She is a terrible person. Defending your client is expected, speaking of the dead victim in such terms is absolutely disgusting. You should be able to defend your client while still maintaining a level of class and respect. |

I came across this on another thread:
Malice murder This crime is defined in Georgia law as causing a person’s death with deliberate intention, without considerable provocation, and “where all the circumstances of the killing show an abandoned and malignant heart.” It is punishable by death, or by life imprisonment with or without possibility of parole. COUNTS 2, 3, 4 AND 5 Felony murder This charge applies when a death is caused in the course of committing another felony, “irrespective of malice” — in other words, whether or not the killing was intentional and unprovoked. The other felonies in this case are listed in Counts 6 through 9 of the indictment; one count of felony murder is linked to each. If prosecutors prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendants committed one or more of those crimes and also caused Mr. Arbery’s death in the process, the basis would be laid for a conviction for felony murder. Like malice murder, felony murder is punishable by death, or by life imprisonment with or without possibility of parole. COUNT 6 Aggravated assault One way Georgia law defines this crime is as an assault using a deadly weapon. This count charges the three men with attacking Mr. Arbery with a 12-gauge shotgun. It is punishable by imprisonment of one to 20 years. COUNT 7 Aggravated assault Another way Georgia law defines this crime is as an assault using “any object, device, or instrument which, when used offensively against a person, is likely to or actually does result in serious bodily injury.” This count charges the defendants with using two pickup trucks to assault Mr. Arbery. It is punishable by imprisonment of one to 20 years. COUNT 8 False imprisonment This charge applies when a person without legal authority “arrests, confines, or detains” another person “in violation of the personal liberty” of that person. Specifically, the defendants are charged with using their pickup trucks to chase, confine and detain Mr. Arbery “without legal authority.” False imprisonment is punishable by one to 10 years in prison. COUNT 9 Criminal attempt to commit a felony Georgia law defines criminal attempt as performing “any act which constitutes a substantial step” toward the intentional commission of a crime — in this case, the false imprisonment charged in Count 8. A defendant can be convicted either of completing a particular crime or of attempting it, but not both. Because false imprisonment is a felony, attempting it is also a felony, punishable by half the attempted crime’s maximum sentence: in this case, one to five years in prison. |

Sentencing live right now. Each of the McMichaels got life without the possibility of parole PLUS twenty years.
Roddy Bryan gets life with the possibility of parole plus ten years and five years with the latter two suspended. |

I'm sure they'll fit right in with the Aryan nation prison gang. |

And if writing coherently was part of your escape plan, you would be dead. |

| The family’s statements in court nearly broke me. What a horrible way to die. I am glad that there is some measure of Justice in this case. Not nearly enough but something. |

I agree. I know that video evidence has been so important in bringing perpetrators of hate crimes to justice, but I can’t imagine how horrendous it is for these families to have their loved ones last moments out there in the world like that. To be than man’s mother—unbearable. |

I mean, what were these horrible people thinking while they ran a boy down and killed him?!! Did they think at all? |

They were smugly confident that their friend the DA would help them make this go away. |

Looking forward to seeing where that case goes. This is tragic but the outcome of the trial and sentencing was as good as could have been hoped for. I hope we can say the same for the next chapter. |
