[QUOTE="728ups, post: 5073379, member: 33372"] Cross Examination by the prosecution was pretty rough on the the man who killed Mr Arbery BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — The man who killed Ahmaud Arbery testified Thursday that Arbery did not speak, show a weapon or threaten him in any way before he raised his shotgun and pointed it at the 25-year-old Black man. Under cross-examination by the prosecution on [URL='https://www.courttv.com/news/man-who-shot-arbery-testifies-he-had-my-gun-he-struck-me/']his second day of testimony[/URL], Travis McMichael said he was “under the impression” that Arbery could be a threat because he was running straight at him and he had seen Arbery trying to get into the truck of a neighbor who had joined in a pursuit of Arbery. “All he’s done is run away from you,” prosecutor Linda Dunikoski said. “And you pulled out a shotgun and pointed it at him. Asked how many times he had previously pulled up behind strangers in the neighborhood to ask them what they were doing there, McMichael said never. “You know that no one has to talk to anyone they don’t want to talk to, right?” Dunikoski said. The prosecutor also pressed McMichael on why he didn’t include some details of his testimony Wednesday in his written statement to police, namely the part about his telling Arbery police were on the way. McMichael said he was “under stress, nervous, scared” at the time of his police interview and “probably being choppy.” “What were you nervous about?” Dunikoski asked. “I just killed a man,” McMichael responded. “I had blood on myself. It was the most traumatic event of my life.” “You were nervous because you thought you were going to jail, right?” Dunikoski asked. Prosecutors say the men chased Arbery for five minutes and used their trucks to prevent him from fleeing their neighborhood before Travis McMichael shot him. They say there’s no evidence that Arbery — who had enrolled at a technical college to study to become an electrician like his uncles — had committed any crimes. [/QUOTE]
