Ahmaud Arbery death trial | William Bryan attorney makes last attempt to sever case from McMichaels

Attorneys are going over final matters Monday morning, Nov. 22, 2021, ahead of closing arguments in the trial of the killing of Ahmaud Arbery.
Arbery was shot and killed on Feb. 23, 2020. Cellphone video leaked to the public shows two armed white men in a truck approaching the 25-year-old Black man as he runs down the road. One of the men, later identified as Travis McMichael, and Arbery struggle over McMichael's shotgun before Arbery is shot and collapses.
Travis McMichael, his father Gregory McMichael and William "Roddy" Bryan, who recorded the video, are all charged with murder in Arbery's death.

I think he did think of the cameras. I think he was calculated in his comments to get the black community pissed and get people to show up in droves in front of the courthouse. He was hoping to use that as a reason for a mistrial. Folks know that we, at times, act on emotions and he was banking on it. I think he meant it and his obvious consumption of fox news made him too comfortable. I’m so tired of these folks and their need to use the word “woke.” They don’t even know what the hell it means and it’s not a new word. Always a day late.

Exactly Having said all that, they are all guilty but deserve a competent defense. Its shocking and illustrative of the brazen entitlement the good old boys display in their comments to police and handing over the video. They never even thought it possible they'd be charged They would have walked, and almost did, without their own arrogance and entitlement

The tape was released to a lawyer, Mr. Tucker, by Bryan to have it put on social media to show how obvious it was that it was self-defense. Asked why he had leaked the video, Mr. Tucker said he had wanted to dispel rumors that he said had fueled tension in the community. “It wasn’t two men with a Confederate flag in the back of a truck going down the road and shooting a jogger in the back,” Mr. Tucker said. When the jury acquits them, it will be easier to understand.

Remember the song, The night the lights went out in Georgia, this is a prime example of a Backwoods Southern Lawyer. Good thing the Judge is great, something thats happening less and less. That is because the former incompetent president, along with Moscow Mitch has overloaded the Justice system, with incompetent Judges.

These motions only show that the defense KNOWS it’s over for them. These are desperate, calculated moves they’re making. They are grasping for straws. They’ve got one goal, get their client off. By any means. That how a “good” (note quotations) defense attorney operates. They are just doing their jobs. Even ol’ boy Gouff😂

This case was about Race....the Rittenhouse case was not. Shame on you for making everything about Race. Justice will be served in Both incidents. Had Arberry been carrying a Legal gun Openly and shot these men who stalked him on cameras I believe he would have been found innocent because it would have been self defense also. Justice is blind to color. The issue in MY mind still falls back to that damn Clinton Crime bill that makes it less likely for Black men to have a clean criminal record in this nation and with those criminal records having less likely a chance of being allowed to Openly Carry a gun.......protesting police and burning down cities while electing the author of that crime bill who still Refuses to abolish that bill or erase those criminal records caused by it...... Is insanity.
