On the Fact that According to Georgia Statutes, for a Citizen's Arrest to Be Legally Binding, the Person Making the Arrest MUST BE A WITNESS TO THE CRIME, the Crime Must Be a Felony, and Excessive Force Cannot Be Implemented......and, so, Yeah, Those Two Throwbacks Who Considered it a Noble Act to Detain Arbery Are Likely In a World of Hurt

The only problem here of course is that the authorities are seemingly going after a murder conviction which as we all know is very difficult to get in a trial setting (proving intentionality, etc.). If it was up to me I'd hammer them with one count of reckless endangerment and one more of negligent homicide because that way a conviction is all but guaranteed......and being that each of those charges can get you up to 7 years in prison (so 14 in total), it's not a bad outcome (certainly better than having them walk), all things being equal.
