Mcmichael. at times he thinks hes out there alone with mr. arbery and it scares him. roddy bryan doesnt see any guns until moments before the shooting. well come back to that. i think if i recall correctly, testimony was, although you can see, and you will see in a moment, greg mcmichael standing in the back of the pickup truck in the moments before the shooting, mr. bryan on that day doesnt even recall gregory mcmichael being in the back of the truck. he doesnt realize gregory mcmichael is in t...

To anybody. a manager of a store, okay? it applies the same way. in other words, the reasonableness standard is set by society. you all decide whether this was reasonable or not. travis mcmichaels belief that he had to defense himself with lethal force has to be reasonable. so weve got pointing a shotgun at mr. arbery when he was yards and yards we, had to be reasonable and necessary. but where was the unlawful force by mr. arbery. whats he doing? hes running away from mr. bryans truck, mr. brya...

Weve seen that from the previous picture. youll see in a moment his truck it out front. if you look carefully, i believe you can see his hammer on the ground behind him. and i believe other tools as well. now, well stop that. now we have a still photo which were about to turn back on. the still photo. >> its coming. >> sorry. beggars cant be choosers while i wait on ms. parton. this is the front of the bryan residence. you have to add in mr. bryan on the porch. you have to add in the pickup truc...

Break. thats up to them. head shaking no. well, then thats the answer. sometimes when people are shaking their heads, you dont know what they mean. all right. sometimes people are shaking their heads, yeah, hes crazy. i get it. lets talk a little bit about false imprisonment. mr. bryan never denied follow playing arbery. mr. bryan has never denied quote/unquote, angling his vehicle ahead plaintiff arbery, although he did not use the words in the first interview as the state had suggested. he use...

Of hurting mr. arbery, he never said anything to the contrary. the evidence will show he had no knowledge, no reason to believe that anyone else out there meant to hurt or shoot mr. arbery. if they had a secret intention or desire to do that, it could not be known to him. now, there is another excerpt that i want to play from the minshew video, only one. okay. because, again, i think it shows you mr. bryans demeanor. it has been suggested by the state that much of what mr. bryan says later is so...

Arbery. hes trapped the moment the mcmichaels get to the top of holmes. it doesnt really matter what roddie does. they do come down the road and there is a brief time period before the shooting where technically mr. bryan is behind mr. arbery, but its clear by this point, its certainly clear to mr. arbery that he cannot outrun the mcmichaels. no matter where he goes, they can follow. so again, how is mr. bryans presence on this day in any meaningful way the cause of this shooting? by the time mr...

Make it seem so reasonable that everything travel and greg did is so reasonable, ill just ask you, use your common sense and put your thinking caps on. we anticipate theyll say the victim started it or youll hear he was the aggressor because he was running towards travis mcmichael, but he was running away from mr. bryan, whod already tried to hit him with the pickup truck. he was trapped like a rat. nowhere else to go. or theyll tell you, ladies and gentlemen, this is really about the front of t...

Have everybody for every charge. what is the burden for the jury here in terms of being able to find these men guilty or not guilty? >> well, its really beyond a reasonable doubt for everyone, beyond every charge. the prosecution has to meet its burden in that regard. when you start talking about each of the individuals, there are different actors, so theyre charged -- the facts are going to play out in different ways. i think that there is a lot thats riding on bryans conviction in terms of him...

At one occasion bryan said he walked to the kitchen, another time he said he ran to the kitchen. he said he walked back out to the truck, another time he said he ran back out to the truck. we know from the video it takes 13 seconds to get to the kitchen, reach for the keys and get back to the truck. mr. bryan is walking calmly to the kitchen and walking calmly to the truck. his recollection of doing otherwise is faulty. now, we also know, as mr. bryan pulls out -- by the way, we also know that h...

He said thats what he was trying to do. maybe, and thats just me going out on a limb. im going to suggest to you that perhaps and i know ill get grief for this, i would submit to you that you can call it karma. you can call it fate. i would call it divine providence, somebody is guiding mr. bryan, whether its a conscious thought process or not, something is guiding mr. bryan down this street to document whats going on. just like mr. bryans on his porch, why does he go out, he doesnt know. he get...
