Multiple news outlets have implied that Arbery was somehow stealing things from the home under construction in Brunswick, Georgia, despite being seen on camera not removing anything and wearing just basketball shorts and a t-shirt.

Now the homeowner is speaking out, telling Blavity and other news outlets that the man seen in the video did nothing wrong and appeared to be going to the construction site for water.

Larry English and his lawyer have been speaking to the press this week to dispute claims made in the media that video footage showing Arbery walking through his home justified the actions of the McMichaels.
