Ahmaud Arbery trial: Police officer testifies he would have given trespass warning
Fox News
Police planned to give Ahmaud Arbery a trespass warning for repeatedly entering an under-construction home before he was shot dead.
"Once we make contact with the person on the property, we explain to them the homeowner does not want them there, they have no legal reason to be there," Rash testified in Glynn County Superior Court. He did not yet know Arbery's identity, he said. "I explain to that person, if you ever come back onto this property for any reason, you will be arrested," he added. There was no evidence Arbery had ever taken anything from the home, Rash said.
If Arbery had failed to heed the warning, at most, he faced a misdemeanor trespassing charge under Georgia law, the officer told the panel, which includes only one Black juror.
