Thinking about this some more. Those words probably won't affect the ongoing case of charges against Travis. GA has no hate crime laws. But there have been requests to the federal judicial system to apply federal hate laws. So it could trigger that.

Supposedly "hit by a truck" and "allegedly" used racial slurs. That does open the door for more prosecution should it be true. Course, some people believe any allegation or 'supposedly' is true if it fits their doctrine...their....agenda. Huh, Who?

I'm sure they do. What's your point?

I'm sure they do too. And my point is that supposedly and alleged is your forte, you excel in it. Carry on.

You must be really hard up for something to comment on, to comment about my not commenting. LoL.

Addy, from what I saw on video, Arbery and McMichael were struggling over a shotgun when it went off. McMichael brought the shotgun to the party.
I could see murder 1 for McMichael. Laying in wait for the prey to enter the lair.

If it were any source other than the racist low rated fake news rag, CNN, I might have taken it seriously. But there was NO mention of a truck hitting Arbery. And if you're going to use the word "n***er" as a racist slur, I guess you must think all blacks are racist, well, at least the rap artists. I guess you think this man is a racist as well, because of the Confederate flag.

Murder 1 means premeditation. There was none. Read the details of the case from a reliable source, not some fake news rag.

I just looked up the word $#@! on dictionary.com. Interesting results. Where is my Miriam Webster dictionary?
