The defendants have pleaded not guilty, contending they suspected Arbery, who was out on a jog, of burglarizing homes in their predominantly white neighborhood.
He has been burglarized, I think, 7 or 8 times over the past few weeks, had asked for help from the police and had not gotton any answer to his satisfaction.
And you have a home that looks on first glance like it's been burglarized, and yet things about how the home's been ransacked suggest it's been staged.
