Death by Citizen's Arrest

There is no such thing as a citizen's arrest when the person arrested has not committed a crime. But one of  the oddest defense attorneys in the Arbery trial is claiming that Mr. Arbery committed suicide when two lynchers with shotguns blew him to tatters. "Suicide by citizens' arrest." Perhaps Mr. Arbery had committed no crime in the hope he would be chased and killed? (I'm having trouble developing this argument.)

Today this lawyer welcomed to the visitors' section a rabbi who was a "white woman." The same lawyer had before objected to the presence of black pastors, for unknown reasons noting the genders and races of attendees.
