Glad that judge showed some restraint and common sense. I've seen judges hold people in contempt for that.
My stream picked up when the judge was kicking someone out and I immediately thought it was a not guilty verdict. Then he started reading the remaining charges. Was nervous for a minute there
Nothing will ever bring Ahmaud back, but I hope this ruling brings some peace to his friends and family. It’s still such an unfathomable act of hate, and it speaks volumes about the state of our country that this verdict was ever in doubt, but rest easy knowing justice was served.
Iirc he showed it to the cops thinking it would clear them. I don't remember how it ever got made public.
Na a lawyer associated with the McMichaels leaked it https://www.firstcoastnews.com/amp/...lease/77-1191b57d-86eb-40cd-ad3c-b5776e3e57e2 This is Tucker's full statement to the media: "Throughout my 39 year career as a criminal defense lawyer, I have rarely commented on or publicly explained any action I’ve taken in my capacity as an attorney. There are times when it is warranted and necessary and this is one of those times. I released the video of the shooting on February 23 in Satilla Shores. There had been very little information provided by the police department or the district attorney’s office, but there was entirely too much speculation, rumor, false narratives, and outright lies surrounding this event. I didn’t release this to “show that they did nothing wrong” as is being circulated. I was raised in this community. I love this community and have spent my career helping people in this community. My sole purpose in releasing the video was absolute transparency because my community was being ripped apart by erroneous accusations and assumptions. My firm has not been retained to represent anyone in this case. We may be, we may not be. If we are, then I will uphold my responsibility to my client the same as I have my entire career. I will ensure my client has a fair trial in a court of law, not on social media or in the newspaper, which is guaranteed under our Constitution. I have represented people from all walks of life charged with many different things and have yet to encounter anyone who doesn’t deserve the fair representation that is guaranteed to all of us as Americans."

They were charged with intentional murder and felony murder. Felony murder is when you commit a felony that results in death and/or murder. There is no intent requirement for felony murder. They were charged with multiple felonies hence the multiple felony murder counts.
You should change things up and give it a try sometime. It makes for a great blunt object in a pinch.
I don’t think the state should kill anyone. But, I wouldn’t shed one tear if these racist assholes were put to death. That said I don’t think they should be.
he didn’t think they did anything wrong there is nothing funny about that. It tells you how some white people see and think of black people.
Absolutely. Barnhill was going to let them get away with it even after watching video. Should be disbarred.
Roll emoji was probably not the right one to use. Not sure how else to phrase it, but the fact that these idiots thought it helped their cause is why I put the emoji. But wrong emoji for sure
Every cop and prosecutor that did nothing until this went public should be tried as accomplices after the fact.
I dont know the specific makeup of the jury, but most of Glynn County isn't "rural". It's not Blackshear.
Dude. I live here. It’s most certainly not rural. A good portion of the population live on affluent St. Simons or Jekyll. There are parts of the county that are rural, but the majority of the people aren’t.
Best part about this is that this fuck had to marinate in that guilty verdict for a full minute while all of that got sorted out.
Nah, they didn’t want protests hitting their areas. Plus these idiots were guilty as fuck and recorded their murder. That’s a hard one for even white American justice to ignore.
