    Ahmad Arbery’s killers are going to walk at that same time

    Are they? It seems like the defense is doing a far shittier job at that trial. The judge isn't a shameless chud. And I'm not seeing any serious self-owns by the prosecution, so I have to assume they're just working this by the numbers.

      Defense is arguing in favor of self-defense and that the guys "feared for their lives"

      Doesn't make me hopeful

        That's pretty much the only defense they've got. I'm not in the jury box, so I have no idea how well the idea is floating. But it didn't save Derrick Chauvin.

      But you're right. It woupd make sense for some sort of lib situation where the killers in the Arbery situation to get convicted even though Rittenhouse walks to quell unrest
