I always felt like there was some aspect of the case I am missing but press coverage isn't necessarily there to present useful details.
There’s footage of police interviewing him on site, idk the exact terminology or if he says he hit him but he’s like “jabbed at him” like veered towards him with his truck when coming his way, seemed like he was coming from one side and McMichaels from other to trap him rather than him just following.
Well that changes things. I caught the closing arguments and defense didn't touch upon this. I always thought there was SOMETHING I missed, but it is hard to figure that out when all you have are these abbreviated news articles.

If he admitted to trying to box the guy in on camera then sure give him life. It is hard to separate political motivations and such in these sorts of national polarizing trials.
I still tend to think he was more guilty of aiding and abetting than of a murder charge, at least beyond a reasonable doubt.
