They are certainly being tried in the media. The initial facts didn't look good even if you grant that Arbery was illegally trespassing. The fact that he went after the gun does not release the men from following and stopping him at gun point. In normal circumstance, you cannot track somebody down after a crime is committed and you'll be held accountable for anything that results from that.

However, there have been some indication that the police may have asked for their help and this all hinges on the facts of that. If they were within the granted police authority to arrest him, then this case should be dismissed. If not, they should be held accountable for his murder.

Don't be the media. They'll deny the sky is blue if Trump claims it. Disregard their propaganda and look at the facts in relation to the law, but hold final judgement because we know the full story has not been reported (that would involve real reporting).

I hope they are fairly judged either way.

That is so true. And so fucked up. We need change. We need to lynch the deepstate and media, after we try them with military tribunals.
