chase them and make the arrest. that s it in a nutshell. all right. so, we re going to apply that law to the facts of this case, right? so what crime are we talking about that they thought he had committed? was it clear to you all, based only the closing arguments what they were talking about? go back to october 25th, 2015, because ahmaud was on the dock and hadn t taken anything. so, what do we have? there s criminal trespass, criminal trespass is when you enter on the property of someone else to do an unlawful act. you decide. does he enter on 220 scintilla drive. look at the video. didn t touch any of that stuff
stolen. we got on video, the car that people came in and stole them. they were from another neighborhood. yeah. what did they know? travis mcmichael, greg mcmichael specifically says to officer rash, this is criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor. why is it criminal trespassing? he s never taken anything, he s never stolen anything. nothing had ever been taken from the construction site. officer rash says it s loitering and prowling. so on february 11th, 2020, 7:30 at night, travis mcmichael and greg mcmichael know there s absolutely no evidence that mr. arbery has committed any felony or theft from the construction site, from the owner himself, and from a police officer. this is what they know on february 11th.
house, i can t see. i know there s a table. did you see mr. arbery do that? did you see him do this? did you see him run his shin into anything? did you see him run into the furniture, the equipment? they keep claiming it is pitch black in there. does he act like it is pitch black? okay. no. i tedon t know how he s seeing, don t know if it is a streetlight, the moonlight, a combination of those things, but for him, he can see what s going on inside. here. just skirted that lawn mower. didn t run into it, didn t bash his elbow on it. and here s what we know mr. arbery did on december 17th, after he went in there, for a fewlooked around, didn t take anything, didn t damage anything. this is what he did.
larry english is a contractor. by the way, larry english is the one who will referred to it as a construction site, remember, during his deposition? he called it a construction site. and this experience is very common as a general contractor that people come in and out of the construction site. and what did he tell you? he told you this in his deposition, nothing has ever been stolen from the construction site in all of 2019 and the first months of 2020. let s be really, really clear. this whole boat thing, that s a red herring, all right? total red herring. nothing has been stolen from the construction site. and you can see how much stuff is in there he s got lumber, he s got all of this. mr. arbery never shows up with a bag. doesn t back a u-haul to it and start load up that big saw or anything like that. what does he do, he wanders around inside for a few minutes and leaves. that s all he did. but during late october beginning of 2019, we have no
him not to come back, okay? that s a totally reasonable response. completely reasonable. officer ashe, just tell the young man to stop coming on the property. so what happens, my alarm goes off i have to call the police and this is a hassle. he never steals anything. just tell him not to come back any more. what did officer rash tell you on camera? well, if larry english had been called to report items missing from the boat what would have happened? an officer would have been assigned to investigate the case, meaning he would have interviewed larry english. what would he have said to larry english sir what was taken? when was it taken? well larry english wouldn t be able to say when. and who took it. well, it was my subcontractor. i think.
