He cant see what, if anything, hes saying. mr. bryan has told us repeatedly that hes never heard mr. arbery say anything from the beginning to the end. so at this point, its clear that mr. arbery does not want help from mr. bryan. its clear that he goes and runs off. and at that point, mr. bryan has to make a decision. now, theres been some testimony. i think mr. bryan said he called after them, you got him, with what is consistent with what hes seeing on the road, but nobody else hears that tha...

Bryans presence there in the death of ahmaud arbery was insignificant. in other words, this was going to happen regardless and bryan was not central to it. what do you make of that argument? >> first of all, pamela, i think this is interesting. this is the most lawyering that weve seen from kevin goff since this trial started in terms of what was actually happening in the merits of this case. that being said, i thought it was very interesting watching his theatrics throughout the entire closing....

Were going to go ahead and continue playing the video. okay. mr. bryan is traveling, as he testified, as an agent indicated in the re-enactment video. hes traveling at 10 or 15 miles an hour. hes traveling faster than mr. arbery. if he was trying to hunt him down, he would be going a lot faster. more to the point, at this point, as mr. bryan comes around the dogleg, what were seeing here, i cant be sure whether this is the enhanced video or not. but what were seeing here in this courtroom with t...

If he hadnt been pinned between the two pickup trucks on holmes with mr. bryan running him towards the white pickup truck, would he still be alive? yeah. their use of the pickup trucks to go ahead and commit aggravated assault on him, put him in fear of them and their pickup trucks, meant he was running away from them. you saw it. running away. did their actions -- were they such that they put him in reasonable fear of receiving bodily injury? and did that contribute to him ending up where he en...

And there is -- you can see mr. bryan is moving approximately 2 miles an hour, and you can see that the seat belt is not in place. now, at this point were going to go ahead and play it to about the 17-second mark. listen for the gear shifts -- im sorry, its not there yet. go ahead. you can see mr. bryans foot is not on the gas pedal. now, you hear a motor vehicle go by. we can guess which vehicle that is. we hear it pass. in 20 seconds were going to hear the seat belt alarm go off. at 26 seconds...

And in saying that, i mean no disrespect to mr. arbery. i dont wish to lessen the magnitude of this tragedy. im simply applying the relevant law to the facts. im going to use a different example to illustrate the point im trying to make. i try to be humorous sometimes. sometimes the humor is not successful. if its not, please dont hold it against mr. bryan. to illustrate the point im trying to make here, let us consider the classic example of a bank robbery. i man with a gun enters the bank and ...

Bryan either hit mr. arbery or tried to hit him and pushed him with his 5,000-pound motor vehicle. well come back to that in a second, but i just dont think -- i think the evidence is inconsistent with that. now, i do want to talk about the indictment for a minute. lets take a minute to review the indictment. it is what we sometimes call a kitchen sink indictment. everyone, all three defendants are charged literally with everything in the indictment, every crime set forth therein. you may find t...

His hearing is not so good. is there anything threatening or menacing about this picture? is there anything threatening or menacing about this image? or is this something we expect to see in a norman rockwell painting? we talked about driveway decisions. mr. arbery has driveway decisions that hes making this morning. im not going back into all that stuff with the englishes and diego perez and albert aldenzy and mr. welsh. thats all been covered, and although mr. bryan may have read about it, he ...
