In the Georgia trial over the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, Judge Timothy Walmsley delivered a haymaker to the defense on the very eve of closing statements.
The ruling could be "Outcome determinative" in the case by stripping away the core defense that these men were chasing a person suspected of a series of crimes over the last year.
Whatever happens on appeal, the ruling cut the legs away from the defense.
This is a common risk in criminal cases where you build a defense based on an interpretation that the court later rejects on the eve of closing arguments.
The defense counsel did an effective job in having McMichael go through his training in the Coast Guard.
Defense counsel took a considerable risk in putting Travis McMichael on the stand.
The defense was trying to rebut the image of the videotape showing McMichael shooting Arbery and then walking away.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
