The rest of their lives behind bars reeks of a system that is more concerned with eye for an eye type revenge, that it is for justice.
A killing that was non premeditated and resulting from actions never knowingly intended to be unlawful, shouldn't result in a 40 year old spending the rest of their lives behind bars.
"never knowingly intended to be unlawful" ?
BS
The father was a law enforcement officer at one time. Even if the others were too dimwitted to figure it out, he knew it was unlawful to chase someone down and murder them.

If you are unaware you are breaking a law, should you be held accountable? In general, the law says yes.
The legal principle of ignorantia juris non excusat (ignorance of the law excuses not) or ignorantia legis neminem excusat (ignorance of law excuses no one) is derived from Roman law. Essentially, it means that if someone breaks the law, he or she is still liable even if they had no knowledge of the law being broken. https://njsbf.org/2018/04/23/ignoran...not-an-excuse/
Three big burly grown men bringing a shot gun to confront one young man reeks of premeditation.

They hunted down a human being. An innocent human being. They got off lucky that the DA didn't pursue the death penalty. Scum they are, and should be treated as such.

I'm not seeing any evidence that he set off to murder anyone.

Yep, I wouldn't argue with them being called scum. I think there has been enough killing already.

Nothing wrong with accountability, although I don't see the killing as premeditated.
I've got no issue with the verdict, just the sentence - it seems to come from the same mindset that got this young man killed..... extreme overreaction.
I’ve probably gone into a couple of hundred houses under construction myself, to see what the floor plans look like and how the are being built, both in business and casual dress. Most of us have. Even if he had been there and taken something, which he did not, it is a matter for the police to investigate, and certainly not a reason for deadly force to be considered as a proper response.
Arbery was shot for jogging on a white man’s street while black.
Okay. There’s no way you've gone in a couple hundred houses under construction. And youve also done it “in business dress.” You obviously are lying. And he didn’t take anything because everything was locked up. He was likely looking for tools left out etc.
Sort of. The former prosecutor still needs to go away for some time, possibly local police depending on whether they tried to cover up the murder or if that was solely the prosecutor.
