The police report did not specifically say whether Arbery was armed, but Merritt has said the victim did not have a weapon.
George Barnhill, one of the prosecutors who first handled the case, defended the actions of the McMichaels and Bryan. In a letter to the Glynn County Police Department, Barnhill said that the three had "solid first hand probable cause" to chase Arbery, a "burglary suspect," and stop him.
"It appears their intent was to stop and hold this criminal suspect until law enforcement arrived," he wrote.
Barnhill also noted that he watched the video of the shooting and said Travis McMichael "was allowed to use deadly force to protect himself" under state law because Arbery had initiated the fight and grabbed the shotgun.
