It is more than reasonable to state that the prosecutor has very high leverage since there is no question who did what here

It's possible the current defense attorneys may perceive themselves as some kind of John Grisham or Greg Iles fictional advocate that can sway a jury sufficiently to get an acquittal....but there's a reason both those authors are known as fiction writers

@eliehonig - a longtime federal prosecutor - opined today on both twitter and a linked podcast interview that the USDOJ also has the option of bringing both murder charges and also hate crime charges independent of any path taken by the state of Georgia

While it seems unlikely that a DOJ led by a non-prosecutor like Bill Barr would open such a case, it is inversely likely that a new USAG could do exactly that next spring if these three monkeys have somehow evaded long prison sentences from the state of Georgia

Have I missed what would make this a hate crime? Why are people making this a racial thing? Did I miss it?

Honig provides a fairly concise explanation of how that could be applied and what is required to obtain a conviction if you are sufficiently interested in those questions

I'm sorry Barman but I can't read anything associated with a CNN analyst.

I am interested about this racial situation so I'll look into it. Thanks for the info.

Travis "Shotgun" McMichael stood over Arbery's dead body and used a racial slur:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ahmaud...ECDKs1B-aQV8MMM6XTX9fP0NNbnMioULazvNZpGOvn878

"A special prosecutor for the state of Georgia said Thursday that evidence in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery shows the young black man was repeatedly boxed in by two pickup trucks as he desperately tried to escape. The lead Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent in the case also testified that the gunman said a racial slur as Arbery lay dying.


Agent Richard Dial testified that the white driver of the first pickup, Travis McMichael, finally got out and shot Arbery in the chest, the first of three shots with a pump-action shotgun that sent Arbery staggering and falling onto the road, mortally wounded.


Dial said the driver of the second pickup truck, William "Roddie" Bryan, said he heard the gunman say a racist epithet as he stood over Arbery's body before police arrived.


Special prosecutor Jesse Evans said Arbery "was chased, hunted down and ultimately executed."

Travis McMichael allegedly said, “Fucking ni**er” as he stood over the body.

Travis McMichael also had a confederate flag sticker on his truck.

The poor guy in the back was charged to serve as a fake witness - the prosecutor is telling him what he must say - and he is gonna say whatever they tell him to say - I have a feeling what he told police immediately after the shooting is going to be quite different than the tale he tells now - the case in Minneapolis ain't helping them either

Yeah, because there was any evidence of anything racial taking place before today right? Like, you had proof before today someone used a racial slur right?

Drop the act Stock. You don't have to be a douche when you sign in. Just sit down and enjoy a conversation instead of looking for an Enfuego post you can bitch about. I won't address you, you don't address me? Deal?

I think “the poor guy in the back” was charged because he hit Arbery WITH HIS TRUCK during the four minute pursuit.

I must have missed where having a sticker on your truck means you killed a guy because he's black. I'd gladly fire you as the prosecuting attorney haha.

"But your honor, he had a Confederate Sticker on his truck, that means he was racist that day towards the victim." I think that would work Stock right?

I believe they thought it would totally exonerate them - in their minds they were just trying to detain a burgular until the police got there - the video clearly shows Aurbery dart at Junior and go right for his gun

Anything could have happened - who knows - but I haven't heard this or any "rumors" of it - this dude has been so badly abused in this thread he's capable of just making things up - but if it's on vid then it would certainly change some things

The detective also testified today that multiple witnesses have confirmed Arbery was known to jog in the area.

You should actually read a news story before you spout off your bullshit.
