"Arbery didn't sprint forward to anyone. Arbery was hitted with the first shot, before he touched the barrel"
I would disagree. It's clear from the video that an instant before the first shot, we see Arbery turning left to confront Travis. Maybe not a sprint per se, but more than enough to see he's not just continuing straight ahead. Further, I distinctly remember a forensic expert at the trial saying it was absolutely possible Arbery could well have grabbed the gun right before the 1st shot. So, if the first shot was a reflex reaction to someone attacking you, that would be different than malice murder: say, 2nd degree murder or the equivalent of manslaughter (which I know is not on the books in Georgia) That to me is a significant flaw in the trial: pretending we could read Travis's state of mind at that exact moment beyond a reasonable doubt. Therefore my vote was for the less serious murder charge, so a sentence of 10-20 years. As for Bryan, he was a victim of the cruel brutality of the felony murder rule. Five years at most for him.
Of course it's hard to summon any sympathy for racist pigs. But even racist pigs deserve due process, which I really don't think they got here.
