    I'll take your bet however but as a gentleman's agreement we must settle terms;
    1. What nationality of dollars?
    2. Who exactly of the three charged to be convicted, 1, 2 or all three?
    3. Convicted of what crime precisely?
    4. What will be the result for a mistrial/hung jury?
    5. What will be the result if they are freed upon appeal?

    Yeah, let's end the defense of these racist murderers right now. They hit him with vehicles and even prevented him from leaving the neighborhood by herding him with their trucks.

    I would wait until you see the makeup of the jury before making that bet. In a matter like this, it makes a hell of a difference what the race of the jury is. The only reason OJ is not in prison to this day was because the jury chose racial solidarity over justice. It was a racially charged time just like today. Voir dire will determine the outcome of this trial, you can take that to the bank.

    Isn't that the same thing white juries do? That's why so many innocent black men are sent to prison every year.

    Damn let's see how many try and defend this, one in particular claimed they never threatened him.

    if that is true it puts an entirely different spin on things. But I'll wait for the trial and keep my bet.

    We shall see the facts in court, if these are true then I was wrong and they deserved to be convicted.

    I am ready for them to tell us how Arbery was purposefully running into their trucks. Maybe attempted auto theft?

    Probably should have waited. Full film shows them hitting him with their truck.

    Kinda explains why he defended himself.

    So we can all agree Travis is one racist POS?

    Stood over the body of a dead man he just killed calling him the N word.
    Confederate flag on truck.
    Several racial slurs in messages on his phone.

    If someone doesn't think he is a racist by now than they just might be a touch racist themselves. ;)

    I think the fact that Travis himself told the cops he raised his gun at Arbery and ordered him to get on the ground is 100% proof that Aggravated Assault occurred, even if you ignore the truck chase and even bumping into Arbery with the truck. Before we had only grainy footage showing the shotgun being raised so you may have had doubt on that, but Travis admitted to it.

    Once you have that aggravated assault, this is 100% murder and an easy conviction.

    Maybe the case can be made that Travis doesn't have the intellect to stand trial given that he didn't understand that what he did was wrong.

    For sure. It has to be impossible to claim that they aren't racist now, and they even admitted to having no knowledge of a crime and raising the shotgun at Arbery to even hitting him with the trucks.
    Of course we know the first police report should have been enough.
    We also know the video should have ended any defense.
    But alas, in this case the dummies admitted to everything because they didn't know it was wrong to hunt down and kill black people.

    At this point I think it’s time to go after the district attorney who kept trying to sweep this under the rug.

    Seeing as how she should've immediately recused herself when she heard the suspect's name (since they'd worked together. She even gave him an award), I agree. Obstruction at best.
    Number 2 was just as conflicted out, his son had worked with Greg. And he crossed the ethical line with his letter which used the propensity inference.

    Neither should be allowed to prosecute again and should get booted out of office.
