People don’t live in houses under construction, so of course there is nobody home.

But that’s not what happened is it?

You would be surprised.

Don’t you have more important things to worry about right now Mrs. McMichael?

Strike for cause.

Sometimes actions are fall under multiple crimes, this is just an alternative charge to the agg assault. The DA can choose to prosecute agg assault instead of this.

There is no doubt their lawyers will grasp as hard as they can for that straw, we will see how it turns out.

Yeah, I definitely agree. I would not like my chances trying to convince a jury their actions didn’t amount to aggravated assault, but then again it only takes one juror...

The shooting doesn’t have anything to do with whether the initial approach by the McMichaels was assault, any chance of a self defense claim would be defeated if simply confronting the victim was found to be agg assault.

I agree with Ron John’s analysis, the issue is whether the shooting was justified, which relies on whether they committed assault, which when done with a deadly weapon would be aggravated. If they committed assault the shooting wasn’t justified, if a jury finds they didn’t commit assault, it’s...

What you are saying can be 100% correct, BUT if the jury finds them guilty of assault, they can’t be legally justified shooting someone they just committed assault against.

As a criminal defense lawyer, what you are saying doesn’t make any sense. But hey, what do I know. This is assault according to the Georgia Code: (2) Commits an act which places another in reasonable apprehension of immediately receiving a violent injury. Whether they committed assault will...

Simple Assault under the Georgia statute is committing an act which places another in reasonable apprehension of immediately receiving a violent injury. Whether their initial act of rolling up on him with guns could be considered an assault is probably a question the jury will have to decide.

Neither of those articles say 300 million N95 masks were delivered between Musk and Gates, the second one identifies one shipment with 130,000 N95 masks and 1.2 million surgical masks so it’s pretty obvious the 300 million number being thrown around consists of mainly surgical masks not N95 masks.

If that’s actually a question, then yes that is literally what I said. *correction, registered March 24, posted yesterday.
