To raise the point he made with regard to the sentence. as far as the remorse, i think roddie bryan stands in very different shoes. it is obvious from the beginning that he questioned the tragedy that had occurred at the scene and was on -- i cant remember whose body cam, but the body cam questioned whether or not what had occurred had occurred and then took steps early on in this process, i think, that demonstrated that he had grave concerns that what had occurred should not have occurred, and ...

To set in context the terror that he said ahmaud arbery must have suffered as he was chased through a residential neighbourhood for more than five minutes, thejudge ordered a moments silence before sentencing all three men to life in prison. 0nly william roddie bryan will be eligible for parole, but not until he is 82 years of age. as we stand here in glynn county in front of this courthouse, think about all the black people who have been lynched in the history of america, in georgia who never, ...

Theres, and when i say appropriate, what i mean is legal. because i believe there has been some discussion about some differences between mr. bryan, and the mcmichaels. there may be some differences, but it does not change the fact that was it not for the fact that mr. bryan used his vehicle in a way to impede mr. arberys course of travel, this may not have ever occurred, and that is sufficient for felony murder. he did cooperate with law enforcement. i will point out mr. goff, 1710 1 b, theres ...

Minimum. i know life with the possibility of parole doesnt sound like the minimum, but in essence it was. it was within the heartland of what the prosecution was seeking for bryan. believe it or not, the prosecution was seeking the absolute max, which would have been an addition of five to ten years for each defendant. i wont go into the details. but all in all, not too many surprises because at the end of the day, there wasnt a lot of wiggle room. there wasnt a big range of sentences that these...

So no, im deeply concerned about this moment that we are in. and again, it reminds me of what people were worried about in the 1950s after the court mandated an end to segregation. they were worried about governors standing in front of courthouse doors, saying, "no, i will not comply with these federal orders," people shutting down schools rather than allow integration. it was a very disruptive moment created by this momentum toward progress, and i think were experiencing that now in america. bu...

Matter of, i believe, 30 days, they formally file for their appeals. it seems like mr. bryans attorney who is a color person, that is going to happen. can you talk about what that appeals process is going to look like for those convicted felons? >> thats pretty typical. 100% they will file a notice of appeal. its short document, a couple of pages, and their briefs will be filed. that will be many months down the road. what we can expect, with bryan, i can tell what way theyre going to go. the ve...

Of parole. the third got life but with the possibility of parole. cnns ryan young reports on the long journey for justice in this case. >> today the defendants are being held accountable for their actions. >> reporter: two of the three men convicted of killing ahmaud arbery sentenced to spend the rest of their lives in prison for travis and gregory mcmichael, its life without the possibility of parole. >> after ahmaud arbery fell, the mcmichaels turned their backs to get a disturbing image and t...

We can try white people for these crimes, but we cant even try these people of colour, we cant even grant them that citizenship they are entitled to, bring them home and trust our justice system entitled to, bring them home and trust ourjustice system to handle it. can only handle them if there are certain religions or racist. bryan, youre shaking your head, but it ultimately comes down to whether governments decide whether it is more dangerous to keep their former nationals out of the country o...

The prosecutors recommendation, many bryan is the most likely to get some chance at parole at the end of day. >> according to the judge in this case, this break that hes taking should end in about five minutes and well learn the sentence. areva, let me come back to you for one more question here. would you have expected to have heard from the mcmichaels and from bryan today? they have not spoken on their own behalf? >> well the lawyers made the point, victor, that they couldnt speak because they...
