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 minchu 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 somehow an after-the-fact rationalization of what happened that day. but when you listen to this, i think youll see that mr. bryan -- the truth of what mr. br...

Mean, he -- >> he actually pulled your handle. >> i wouldnt be surprised if thats his marks right there. he was trying to get the handle. >> okay. all right. did -- nobody got this on video, you just witnessed it. >> you got it on video. >> i aint looked at. you ready? >> at what point did you start videoing. >> well, i thought he was going to get away. >> he was trying to get -- capture who he looked like -- >> to be honest with you, i probably got two videos, three videos, i probably started o...

Shooting. so when mr. bryan says on the side of the road, on february 23rd, to the officer, i was trying to record what happened. i dont know what i got. i think i got two or three. he only got one. but fortunately, he got the one that you need to figure out what justice is in this case. and again, its not for roddie bryan. its not for me to say what justice is here between the mcmichaels and mr. arbery and his family. thats not our call. thats your call. but again, but for mr. bryan, whether yo...

Interpret it, but what i hear is someone who is labored breathing. breathing as if he was in fear. also, around the same time, watch mr. bryans leg, which is momentarily visible on the gas pedal and see whether you dont agree that mr. bryans leg is literally shaking. now, hes not driving a cadillac. im sure if you see his leg in relation to the rest of the truck, youll see mr. bryan at this point is shaking. lets try that again. very good. did you play the right portion

Bryan did film the murder on his phone. he gave the phone over and the video right away to the police. he made statements to the police at the scene, at glynn county. he then goes and makes additional statements to the gbi in may of 2020. he consented to having the video downloaded. guess what? doesnt matter. cooperation after the fact does not erase what you have done. okay? that would be like two teenagers shoplifting at walmart and one is telling the other, both stuffing bikinis into the bag....

Every reason to think that you are, if at the end of the evidence you have a doubt, that is a doubt upon which you maya -- may acquit the department. a reasonable doubt is a doubt based on common sense. it is a doubt for which a reason can be given. if you can give a reason to doubt whether mr. bryan is guilty, then your mission is complete, and at that point you should acquit mr. bryan. now, i also often use this provision lifted from robert bolt, a man for all seasons when i talk about reasona...

Thats got nothing to do with roddie bryan. they dont need roddie bryans help to shoot this young man. and im, again, im not implying guilt or innocence here. its not my call. thats your call for the other defendants. but what does that have to do with mr. bryan? that takes us back to aggravated assault, count seven. ive discussed the physical evidence with you before. the lack thereof. and im going to go through that just as quickly as i can. i would note that the state presented no rebuttal evi...

Front porch of his home. after renting for several years, roddy and his fiancee have just purchased their home on birchard. as a mechanic for small engines, this is big for bryan and he isnt going to waste time fixing it up. if you look back, its the world in which this event takes place. its the world context in which we have to look at the evidence in this case. now, i think we have the first night owl video -- i call it the first night owl video, the porch video. i think we played it for you ...

Substantial and unjustifiable risk that his act or omission will cause harm or endanger the safety of the other person. and the disregard constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care which a reasonable person would exercise. i would suggest to you that mr. bryan did not consciously disregard a substantial unjustifiable risk in operating his motor vehicle. wed submit that mr. bryan did not commit any offense in the operation of his motor vehicle. but this is before you, and if you deci...

Now, mr. bryan spots mr. arbery out of the corner of his eye. roddie bryan knows the joggers in the neighborhood on his end of the neighborhood. lets be clear. its a big neighborhood. theres four or five. ahmaud arbery isnt one of them. roddie bryan has never seen ahmaud arbery before. roddie bryan, intuitively, and thats the word for it, intuitively knows the difference between someone running to something, and someone running from something. but that mystery is resolved pretty quickly when the...
