The video of Ahmaud Arbery's shooting lasts less than a minute. This is how key frames in it may be used in the murder trial:

by a Georgia attorney, shows a brief yet starkly violent encounter, and legal experts say key moments in the video will be used by both sides in the case to explain the men's actions.

The video"really catalyzed and placed this whole case into the public consciousness," said Ronald L. Carlson, the Fuller E. Callaway Chair of Law Emeritus at the University of Georgia School of Law. Gregory McMichael later told police that he and his son grabbed guns when they saw Arbery running in the neighborhood because they believed he matched the description of a burglary suspect in the area and they weren't sure whether Arbery was armed.reported three thefts were reported about two months before the shooting.who previously led the investigation said the McMichaels were openly carrying their firearms when they confronted Arbery.

Sarah Gerwig-Moore, associate dean for academic affairs at Mercer University School of Law, said the video shows the men"boxing" in Arbery, which, taken with the evidence of them grabbing firearms beforehand, could help carry the murder charge.

RyanW_Miller This guy looked pretty good for 26 years old. Was that a recent picture? Looks like a prom pic.

RyanW_Miller Why not use a mug shot of Arbery that is more recent than his high school yearbook photo?

Good Riddance thief.

RyanW_Miller Arbery jogging 17 miles away from home, is a big lie.He charges men pointing guns at him? Arbery was suicidal and had death wish. Report facts and reality. You appease Blacks to stir TROUBLE for Whites.

The McMichaels were idiots in chasing Abrey down. There’s vids showin everything from start to finish... Abrey walkin down the road, goin into the house, runnin out once he’s yelled at. They should’ve let that do the talking and let the police handle it. A man is dead for nothing

RyanW_Miller Did u do more than 5 minutes to investigate this? Ur article is lacking facts of the situation from start to finish. I hope A. Arbery family gets the justice they deserve in court. Should of never happen.

JusticeForAhmaudArbery !!!

Aubrey being a robbery suspect is IRRELEVANT!! There is NO right, NO law, NO constitutional power that gives you the right to chase down another human being and MURDER them in cold blood!!

Why did he try to take a gun from someone? Its should of did nothing.

Who taped it anyway?
