Arbery pleaded guilty to 2 crimes in the past. Why is that not relevant? Sure, looked to me like he was casing that house and also appeared that he initiated contact when he started wrestling to get the gun away from the one guy.

"Arbery pleaded guilty to charges he carried a gun onto a high school campus in 2013, a year after he graduated. Rodney Ellis, police chief for the Glynn County school system, testified at Wednesday’s hearing that Arbery tried to evade officers on foot and stopped only when two of them pointed guns at him.
He was also arrested in 2017 on charges that he tried to steal a TV from a Walmart store. Court records show he pleaded guilty to shoplifting. Arbery was on probation at the time of his death."
