of what actually happened. I can only speculate as to the reasons why. There is uncertainty as to whether Arbery grabbed the gun or was pushing it away. The medical examiner testified as such.

Greg McMichaels said to the cops “[Arbery] was cornered like a rat.” What would you do if you were out jogging and somebody chased you down in a pickup truck, verbally harassed you, and had you “cornered like a rat” with a shotgun? I won’t even ask you to then imagine you’re a black man and the guys that chased you down are a couple of Georgia rednecks, because I can’t imagine you’re capable of that kind of empathy based on your post. Blaming the victim here is outrageous. There is a reason the judge is rejecting the defense’s absurd requests.
