Lee Merritt, an attorney for the Arbery Family, said an unfinished property is an"electrician's dream" and suspects Arbery was observing the electrical work of the house.Cooper-Jones said when a Glynn County police officer initially told her a homeowner killed Arbery while he was committing a burglary, she knew it couldn't be true.“He was just a really humble guy," she said."Ahmaud was a good kid.
"He was just a real genuine person," said Baker, who grew up in the same apartment complex as Arbery."He spoke and did everything from a place of love."Baker recalled desperately wanting to become Arbery's friend in second grade because he was so likable.
