Our lives in various ways to be not lonely. we find friends, partners, mates, family, we have children. were trying to find life elsewhere because we have a need and a desire to communicate and to connect in any way possible. >> okay, bryan. ready. okay. well try this again. >> layer 5 on 3, 2, 1. 10 inches of travel, 20 inches of travel, 30 inches of travel. 65 inches of travel. 80 inches of travel. 190 inches of travel.

Citizens arrest and self-defense. the prosecution in the case has done an outstanding job of nully fiing both of those arguments. no testimony on the part of travis mcmichael that he intended to arrest ahmaud arbery. no knowledge that ahmaud committed any crime at the day -- on the day this shooting occurred. that pretty much nullifies any notion of a citizens arrest which requires you to have knowledge or witness a crime being committed. so i dont think were going to see the same outcome in thi...

That perhaps this intruder was looking for a different fireman. >> and why would anyone think that? not far from the bryans home in mustang lived the oklahoma city fire chief. his name? keith bryant, bryan with a "t" at the end. >> the whole keith bryant theory, that maybe they got the wrong fire chief? >> you know, that did not occur to me until i got to the hospital and thats the first time somebody had brought up maybe mistaken identity. >> the buzz reached roger straka back at the firehouse....

Avoid bryans truck which the defendants used during the encounter arbery had one last clear chance and contributed to that danger by his own conduct. he argued that arbery should have run to avoid the truck possibly by running into a neighbors house, jumping into a pool or climbing up the side of a tree. so hes saying arbery should have run away from these guys. these guys said they shot arbery because he was running away. >> you know, ali, it was so difficult listening to travis mcmichael testi...

Desperate lawyer who cant fight his case based on the merit. i cant imagine hes got to get a better jury in a county that is one-quarter african-american 11 out of 12 jurors are white. >> let me ask you about the racial context in this trial. the defense attorneys are working very hard to illustrate the idea that race should have nothing to do with this, that ahmaud arbery was a guy, snooping around stealing things from a home under construction. no one had any evidence of that whatsoever. the 9...

Also heard some inflammatory comments today in georgia from a defense attorney representing one of the three men charged in the killing of ahmaud arbery. cnns martin savidge is in brunswick, georgia, covering all of this. what did we hear today, martin, from this attorney? >> once again, the attorney involved here is kevin goff. he represents mr. bryan here, who is one of the three defendants in the case. the man that took the video. heres what happened. kevin goff is in court today. the jury is...

Harassed by the attorneys for the defendant. >> this same attorney as you well remember, lee, who publicly said he doesnt want black pastors in the courtroom. now hes actually filed for a mistrial because of the demonstration yesterday of the pastors, the clergy, others supporting the arbery family. do you agree with the prosecution that this is a strategic -- this is strategic. its calculated. its an effort on the part of the defense? >> it certainly is an effort to preserve the record so that ...

Represents want d cooper-jones said hed been in contact with the prosecution. the prosecution said last night, kevin goff, the attorney for bryan came to them and wanted to make some kind of a plea deal. we dont know what the deal was, dont know the details. we do know that the prosecution rejected it. wanda cooper-jones going into court today said yes, its true. then we had kevin goff coming into court today and he was peppered with questions. take a listen. >> did you offer a plea deal? >> tha...

Is we dont care what the facts are. were just going is send these men to prison. >> that may be their strategy. the jurors should see the citizens arrest as an after the fact justification, something the defendants made up trying to explain what to many people looks like three white men lynching an african american person. and joy, youre right. its the defense who has made a big deal about race. but the prosecution in fact has evidence that all three men are racist. according to one of the defen...
