He did drive his truck. he did help to corner ahmaud arbery. he was part of this awful, terrible, oppressive picture that cornered and, as to use the words of travis mcmichael, that chased him down like a rat. and, so, he was part of the chasing down like a rat. so he cant really run away from that. he didnt pull the trigger. he didnt do perhaps as much as the mcmichaels did, but he was part of the picture. and without his involvement there may not have been the same outcome. i think thats whats...

Have the jury be swayed in any way because of the law, then you have the judges instructions regarding citizens arrest. he really became pretty improbable for the defense to take a win. this seems like the right result. >> trace: you talk about the videotape. im wondering where you at all surprise when you saw, clearly the prosecution ran the table on this. were you surprised when you saw "roddie" bryan. his defense was he broke off the chase and then he rejoined it and started videotaping but h...

Defendants its going to be between the mcmichaels and mr. bryan. but i dont believe they would convict travis and acquit george and mr. bryan. but i want viewers to know that is something that could happen in terms of one of them or two of them being convicted and another one going free or being acquitted and vice versa. >> of course, the recent kyle rittenhouse case dealt with vigilante justice and self-defense. in that case, rittenhouse was acquitted on all charges. this situation, however, is...

Argument. the question here is when did roddie bryan know the mcmichaels were armed, when did he know they intended to shoot mr. arbery. and at that point what could mr. bryan have done about it. those are the three questions i asked repeatedly. were still waiting for answers on that. >> why are you trying to make this so intensely personal about ahmaud arbery? why bring up black pastors and their presence and what you know is a public accommodation being this courtroom and you dont have a say i...

Video is clearly identified as such, otherwise i think mr. bryan would rather have the whole video -- >> lets see what theyre asking for. go with that -- give those numbers, 191 is the half speed short version. 192 is the high contrast version. you said 190 is -- >> the actual full video. >> full video. >> and then 911 call. >> and the 911 call is the 223, 911 call. >> yes. and that would be -- i believe it is states exhibit 144. >> are the alternates excluded from this, your honor? >> no. >> th...

Identified it as such for the jury. >> well identify it by exhibit number. >> it would be our position if they asked for the short version and we know where that short version begins, the large version -- the long version, we just start the video at that point. >> that was going to be my suggestion. maybe have the foreperson explain it, just the foreperson, want to pick it up from after mr. bryan picks his camera -- phone back up again if thats what theyre looking for, then we could adjust it wi...
