He argued his client took a video and turned it over to the police and without that there would be no justice and no trial. she went through all the charges against bryan and brought him back into those charges. ultimately, i think roddy will probably get acquitted or get, you know, be found guilty of some of the lessers. but she did a fantastic job and really sort of played a little bit more on the race card as well, you know, that long, dirty toenail comment that was just despicable about ahma...

Phone. it seems as if you think william "roddie" bryan may have a decent shot at acquittal. why? >> william "roddie" bryan has a path to acquittal in this case because the evidence that came out at trial was essentially there was no cooperation, no discussion with the other defendants that bryan got in his car, he followed arbery, he videotaped. he did not possess a gun. the defendants marshalled the evidence to show its possible that he wasnt even aware that the defendants had firearms, let alo...

F-150 or silverado and they did confine and detain him on holmes. ladies and gentlemen, come on. we looked at this, all right. what do we got? we got mr. bryan chasing him on holmes. this line doesnt go far enough. what did travis mcmichael tell the police? i stopped a few houses down, got out of my truck and shouted at him, stop, stop. he denied it on the stand, thats what he told the police in his written statement, the one he had an hour to fill out, right? so mr. arbery got this far and had ...

With guns had bryans attorney, kevin gough again motioning for a mistrial. it was denied. the judge did say hed decided to move the jury deliberations to an interior room in the courthouse to keep jurors out of sight and earshot of the demonstrations. after court recessed for the day, attorney lee merritt said the arbery family appreciated the support from protestors. but urged them not to go so far as to possibly interfere with the trial, itself. >> the communitys presence here has been a great...

Goes, im home. goes on home here. this idea that ahmad isnt going to run this way because mr. albenze is out there, we dont know whats in the mind of ahmaud arbery. not at all. but what did mr. bryan do? mr. bryan got in front of him and went to back up at him and thats when he turned up holmes. those are the words of mr. bryan. i pulled in front of him, i backed up at him, and thats when he turned up holmes. therefore, the criminal attempt at -- criminal attempt at false imprisonment substantia...

Down satilla shores and redirected him up holmes. but for those actions, mr. arbery would be alive. played a necessary and substantial part in the death of mr. arbery. all right. so i backed up and started going down that way. i think i angled at him again, kind of forced him off the road or something right in here. and he turned around, he turned around right here. the black guy did. he turned around maybe down this far or so, but hep turned around and started running back the other way. and i ...

Responsible for that? in the state of the georgia, no one gets to say that. everyone is responsible. ladies and gentlemen, heres the thing. this isnt about whether these three men are good people or bad people. thats not what this is about. its about responsibility. its about holding people accountable and responsible for their actions. >> the panel isnt just tasked with determining the fate of one defendant but all of them, each with their own charges, each with their own potential outcome. tra...

Mcmichael murdered ahmaud arbery? how can greg mcmichael be held responsible? okay, its real simple. party to a crime. the law does, in georgia, believe that everybody who helped, encouraged, advised, went inside a house and grabbed his son and told him to get his shotgun and, come on, theyre all equally responsible for the ultimate death of the victim. because a person is a party to a crime only if that person directly commits the crime -- travis mcmichael, pulling the trigger on the shotgun. h...

Shotgun and help his dad. he could have told his dad, were not doing this, calm down, call the police. theres a whole bunch of decisions that both of them could have made that would have never resulted in ahmaud arberys death. he decided hes going to drive his pickup truck to chase ahmaud and he got out of that truck with that shotgun. totally and absolutely unnecessarily. mr. bryan, who decided to help the mcmichaels, who then assaulted ahmaud in his pickup truck in an effort to falsely impriso...

Case to prove that the mcmichaels and bryan are responsible for arberys death. >> they made assumptions about what was going on that day, and they made their decision to attack ahmaud arbery in their driveways because he was a black man running down the street. >> reporter: in her closing argument for the state, the lead prosecutor said the three men had no reason to chase arbery down while he was jogging on a street outside of brunswick, georgia, last year. >> theyre trying to convince you that...
