Saw that this morning as well, but still doesn’t justify the actions seen in the video in this thread by the words of the law.
The clip is from a letter written by one of the DA’s that recuses themselves from the case. It also references that the victim had a juvenile and adult felon records and the reason this DA was recusing himself had to do with some sort of link between either himself or his son and the suspects in the case having previously prosecuted the victim.
The father suspect worked for the PD and DAs office as an investigator up until about a year ago when he retired.

Georgia law doesn't permit a " Second Degree Murder" charge. In Georgia the only charges can be Murder (which carries a minimum life sentence) , Voluntary Manslaughter (1-20 years of incarceration ) , Involuntary Manslaughter (up to 10 years in prison) in that order of severity.. ( if my memory and time on the Grand Jury is accurate).
If the charge of Murder sticks, it will be difficult to prove and get convictions. I think the McMichaels have been overcharged. Manslaughter is what they will ultimately be charged with and a Glynn County jury would hopefully convict them of.

Not to seem like I'm sticking up for these folks, but are there really white folk that are dumb enough to gun down a black man who is simply jogging?

You can dress a fat chick up, but you cant fix stupid
Irrelevant if they saw him "jogging" out of the house with their flatscreen tv.
We, as a society, have decided that burglary doesn't carry the death penalty. Do we want to shoot shitbag thieves? Sure we do. However, in this country, we let the justice system run it's course or we are all quickly going to find out what lawlessness means. You city folk won't like it.
The DA saw that tape and knew that there was a previous relationship between the shooters and the deceased. He was a fucking idiot not to bring charges and let the system sort it out so that we didn't get here. Nobody wants to be here...
GBI is in charge now. They will get the evidence sorted out and make the case. They are truly topnotch.

Can a non-LEO detain and hold a burglary suspect at gun point if they are caught in the act?
In your scenario, the gun was brandished illegally. Therefore anything that happens after that is on the gun-owner.
So you are walking Along and someone pulls a gun on you, and illegally attempts to detain you. As you try to escape you must attempt to disarm them, Are you now committing the crime?
A vote is like a rifle: its usefulness depends upon the character of the user.

I have done so in the past at the request of law enforcement, but I probably wouldn't today unless it was someone wanted for some serious shit...
The question now is, if there no video, there is no justice?

Sorry ya'll but I'm going to disagree about this guy needing to die- it's proven by the FBI through questioning of felons that someone who commits burglary- especially of an occupied dwelling- knows there is a risk of confrontation and is prepared mentally to take any measures to escape, up to killing someone- the same holds true for armed robbers (proven that they have already mentally pictured their victim dead).
If the runner had gained control of the shotgun, and he went for it without hesitation, there would likely be 2 dead people- if not and he had just fled with the gun- then he would kill someone in the future.
While these guys broke the law and might be convicted- they were actually doing a service for the community.
Doing the right thing is not always legal- and doing the legal thing is not always right.
