Three white men were found guilty Wednesday of felony murder in the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man who was running in their neighborhood when the defendants confronted him in February 2020.
The white boys just wanted to talk to the "jogger". Now maybe they should have minded their own business but they had no plans on killing arbery. Then he attacked them and they had to shoot him. And the guy with the camera - what did he do.??
I realize felony murder does not require premeditation but felony murder statutes are wrong. This was at most manslaughter and maybe self defense.
There was no premeditation in the arbery killing.
