Ahmaud Arbery Update - Has My Position Changed?

About this video

Colion analyzes surveillance footage and Georgia law related to the Ahmaud Arbery shooting, defending his original position after public criticism. He breaks down Georgia’s criminal trespass, burglary, and citizen’s arrest statutes element-by-element, arguing that based on the evidence available at the time, Arbery did not commit a crime and the McMichaels were not legally justified in attempting a citizen’s arrest. Colion maintains that Arbery had the right to defend himself when confronted by armed men blocking his path.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that under Georgia law, the surveillance footage does not show Arbery committing criminal trespass or burglary because key legal elements (unlawful purpose, notice to stay out, taking property) were not met based on available evidence.
• According to Colion’s analysis of Georgia’s citizen’s arrest statute, the McMichaels did not witness Arbery commit a felony in their presence, which he teaches is required for a lawful citizen’s arrest, making their armed confrontation potentially unlawful.
• Colion contends that if the McMichaels were the unlawful aggressors, Arbery would have had legal grounds under Georgia’s stand-your-ground doctrine to defend himself, even though charging someone holding a gun may seem tactically unwise.
