Best I can do is speculate here. But I would not expect the jury to come back with a verdict today. If they do, it’s a guilty verdict, but I just don’t see it. If only one person was being charged with one crime, maybe. But it’s 3 defendants with a lot of complicated charges. — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: The prosecution gave VERY strong closing arguments in the murder trial of the men who killed Ahmaud Arbery. The judge is now giving very detailed instructions for the jury. It’s a complicated case with 3 defendants and dozens of possible outcomes. Then lunch. — PolitiTweet.org

Shaun King @shaunking

UPDATE: Defense attorneys brazenly interrupt the closing arguments of the prosecution - claiming that they are misstating the terms of the citizen's arrest law. That interpretation matters. The ENTIRE defense hinges on the jury believing that's what was going on. — PolitiTweet.org
