I bet you thought that about Cosby too.

lol, Cosby had a deal with the old prosecutor that if he spilled his guts giving testimony he would not have been prosecuted. New District Attorney comes in and violated a previous agreement. The new District Attorney goes to use Cosby's words against him in court that was supposed to not be used against him in a criminal proceeding. How is that relevant towards Arbery's case? Apples and oranges. The three killers had an agreement deal that was violated by a new District Attorney? Appeals are still rarely successful, I don't see how the three murderers will have their convictions overturned. It's wishful thinking believing they will "probably" have their conviction overturned.

These media circus, politically motivated trials all deserve to be examined with a microscope.

It will be which is why the convictions will most likely stand.

I don't know about legally justified, but holy fuck, life in prison...

Life is the penalty for murder, Southern states are heavyhanded with it comes to dolling out punishment.

It's not like they went to lynch a black man for being in a white neighborhood

That's why they are eligible for life and not death. If they went to lynch a black man then they would have been facing the death penalty. Life in prison is a fair sentence. If the three did not want life then they should have sought a plea deal before going to trial.

People aren't lawyers intimately versed in law.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse to escape liability for their action.

They were under the belief they were acting lawfully.

They were wrong and faced the consequences.

Also, an innocent person wouldn't keep running.

People chasing someone with their truck with guns. Arbery did what most people would do when faced with something like that. Arbery ran, flight or fight kicked in and he chose to run. People run when they're scared.

He'd just reasonably explain himself and then that's it

There is no reasoning with some psycho chasing someone with their truck yelling at someone.

Who the hell wins?

Law and order wins, three men are facing life for murdering an innocent man whose crime was going out for a jog.

Shalom
