the point that these guys participated in thus it doesn't make sense to tag him with the felony murder in my mind in my personal opinion now to be clear this isn't the most egregious application of felony murder that's ever happened in this country it's probably not the most egregious application of felony murder that ever happened in the state of georgia but my job is not only to just break down the laws give you the facts of the cases give you the background that may or may not be included in the court of law but it's also to give you my opinion and my analysis and to point out where i think there are in fact flaws in statutes across this country and i think that there's a major flaw in felony murder because if you just participate in any felony that's covered under the statute no matter your level of participation you can be tagged for what will be a life sentence level crime and to me that just doesn't make a lot of sense at this point in time he did exactly what we would have wanted these people to do in the first place which was document follow don't engage don't confront don't get in front and he's going to be tagged for that and they say that he helped box arberry in if you look at the video arberry had plenty of room to run to the right he had plenty of room to even try to run to the left however he was trying to dodge the big michaels and this guy was well far back in this scenario not really putting the pressure on arberry in this moment so while i do agree that he should have got some of these other charges based on georgia law if these were first offense charges if orberry didn't die these people would have got probation maximum although arberry probably would have resisted arrest from the police which is something that he's done in the past and would have been arrested on suspicion of burglary had nobody died but in reality the mcmichaels made major errors travis mcmichael should have never gotten out of the car it is NUMBER_TOKEN on them in terms of georgia law especially with the way that the judge read the statute to the jury with the way that he gave them the jury instructions now to be clear this case was not totally contingent on the judge essentially nuking the defense in the jury instructions there was a good chance that had this not happened and had he gave them a more reasonable or a more fair-minded interpretation that allowed them to consider the defense's argument the jury would have came back with the same verdict that's how not good this case was that's how not good this video looked that's how not good all the circumstances surrounding this were but we have to be honest we have to be honest about everything we have to be honest about our berry not being this angel that was just jogging we know for a fact that he was burglarizing the area but it's important to understand that just because somebody is accused of a burglary or is the burglary suspect from a previous burglary that doesn't necessarily mean that you can chase them down in the future so i do understand the verdict this is the verdict that i've been predicting from the jump but i want to know what you guys think down in the comments below if you liked the video show them by leaving a
