If what they're saying is correct (and I wouldn't go that for since the media is often wrong) then they definitely should be charged with first degree murder & let it play out in court. With everything going on now-a-days, I am especially skeptical of any reporting and would rather wait to see what happens in court. If they're guilty, throw the book at them and hope they never see the light of day.
McMichael/Bryan Trial
- Thread starter Tecumsehsbones
- Start date
What happens before the incident has no bearing on a self defense claim. Its time of attack only.
My understanding of first degree murder is that for that they would have had to have planned to kill him beforehand. Most likely second degree. But some states have felony rules that may trump that -- not sure. But I think second degree murder would be likely what they are guilty of. Intent to kill but no pre-meditation.
Your notion that a Georgia court gives a fuck less about what happened in a Wisconsin court is SO DAMN CUTE!

I think the verdict is correct .... but can someone explain how there can be so many murder charges per person when only one person was murdered? And one guy is guilty of one of them but not the other.
Throw enough shit against the wall, see what sticks.
In this case, it all stuck.
The prosecutors were giving the jury a range of options on what degree of murder to pick. By picking one, they eliminated the others.
The McMichaels and Bryan were convicted of felony murder, which means they were committing a felony, and the commission of the felony caused a person to die. It's generally considered second-degree murder. The maximum penalty is life with the possibility of parole.
