I don’t think the law as it was written justified the defendants actions that day regardless of attempts to differentiate between misdemeanor or felony activity. It wasn’t in their presence or IMMEDIATE knowledge (if you believe a misdemeanor had occurred) nor did they have reasonable suspicion or probable cause (if they thought a felony had occurred). Certainly there was no basis for the latter since there was no evidence Ahmaud had ever stolen anything from the vacant house).
Guessing does not equal immediate knowledge or probable cause:
“In closing arguments, a defense attorney for the man who fired the fatal gunshots said the 25-year-old Arbery was killed as he violently resisted a legal effort to detain him to answer questions about burglaries in a neighborhood just outside the port city of Brunswick, Georgia”.
The law doesn’t say it’s okay to attempt a citizen’s arrest to ask someone questions about some suspicions you might have.
And again, back to what reasonable people would do…I wouldn’t chase someone for 4-5 minutes, with a gun and cut them off like a “cornered rat” to satisfy some curiosity or suspicions I might have.
