your immediate knowledge. okay. remember, the judge is going to tell you it is synonymous, it means the same thing, meaning in your presence or immediate knowledge, means immediately you know because you saw it. that s what that means. that doesn t mean watching a videotape on february 11th with officer rash in front of 220 satilla drive. that s not what that means. a private person may arrest an offender if the offense is committed in his presence. did ahmaud arbery commit any offense in the presence of any of these defendants? the answer to that is no. boom. citizen s arrest is gone. yes, aim going to continue because there is some more caveats. if the offense, the one that was just committed in your presence is a felony, you get why they re trying to make ahmaud a burglar so desperately? all he s doing is criminally trespassing your honor, again, i don t like to interrupt closings, but this is not an accurate
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 at all paced on their closing arguments what they were talking about? now, it can t be october 25th, 2019, because ahmaud was on the dock and he didn t take anything. all right. so what do we have? we don t even have criminal trespass because criminal trespass is when you enter on the property of someone else to do an unlawful act. all right. you decide. he did enter on to 220 satilla drive on the dock to commit an unlawful act? look at the video. didn t touch any of that stuff, didn t steal any of that stuff out on the dock. wandered around, and looked around on the dock.
october 25th out on a dock? how is someone escaping from february 11th, 2020, on february 23rd? okay? that is irrational. wanting to question the victim demonstrates their uncertainty on what he had done that day and wanting to question the victim demonstrates a lack of immediate knowledge which is required for a lawful citizens arrest. they didn t see him commit any crime that day. the state wasn t saying he wasn t at 220 satilla drive. we all know he went in there, came out, and ran down the street. we all know that. they didn t know that. let s look at the in evidence the case. first off, once again, satilla shores, fancy block. that s where ahmaud arbery lives. there s u.s. 17. expressways over there, 95.
0 this arm on ahmaud arbery was 25 inches, this arm was 26 inches and the barrel of the shotgun is over 28 inches. do the math. did he hit him? he did he punch him? did he strike him, when the shotgun is like this? easy, do the math. this is what travis mcmichael did. there is no fear here. there is only anger. remember, it is the standard of reasonable beliefs that the force used is necessary. do you really believe he had no other choice but to use this shot gun? is that what you really believe? no other choice. what are the alternatives? well, the first alternative is don t start this. i ll tell you something, my husband, he always tells this to our three nephews, david, ben and sam. what he says is there is some rules for life. you know what those rules are. don t go looking for trouble. because you will find it. and it is not going to turn out the way you think it is. what he s really saying is, don t be that guy who starts the bar fight and goes, let a s go t in the parking lot. i
fleeing or attempting to flee from a felony, burglary is a felony. entering a dwelling place without authority, with the intent to commit a theft in there. not an actual theft, but the reason, the mindset for going into a place that is not yours. so how do you know that if there wasn t actually a theft. judge will tell you, the law will allow you to infer an intent to steal if there is an unlawful entry, meaning crossing into a place that is not yours, a place where valuables are stored and you heard testimony that plenty of values were stored at 220 satilla drive. there is no other apparent motive for being there.
