Playing Arbery News Today

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...

Best evidence for you to look at in trying to figure out what happened here. now its going to come up in different context, but the judge is going to instruct you on the principle of abandonment. and it has more than one application here. but basically, if somebody abandoned a criminal enterprise, then they cannot be held criminally responsible for it. maybe you believe that mr. bryan was attempting to imprison, falsely imprison mr. arbery. of course, that would depend on whether or not the mcmi...

He says that he crept out on to the road. the state suggests that mr. 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 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 dfefendants are charged literally with everything in the indict...

Now, its at the very end he ba backs up and straightens out a bit. whether mr. bryan said he was going to the left or to the center or slightly to the left, the actual evidence in the case is consistent with him pulling stating out. and again, we know from all the other things that weve seen that mr. bryans recollection of events that day simply isnt that good. now, mr. arbery, not mr. arbery -- mr. bryan makes what is for him a very faithful decision he actually pulls out in the road. now, at o...

Basically reading the lips of what turns out to be travis mcmichael. he cant see mr. arberys lips. he cant see what, if anything, hes saying. mr. bryan has told us repeatedly thats 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 runs off. and at that point, mr. bryan has to make a decision. now, theres been some testimony. i think mr. bryan said that he called out to them, you ...

Night owl video that we didnt play previously where you see mr. bryan coming off his porch. now, im going to suggest to you, and youll have to decide what the truth is here. when mr. bryan says he called out to them, did he? do you see that on either of these videos? do you see it on the third one to come? again, is there bryan relating what actually happened or what he thinks has happened. is mr. bryans mind playing tricks on him? in any event, mr. arbery goes down the street. now, mr. bryan at...

What he was doing. i cant say for sure that he didnt get a chance to get to the door. after i angled him off the side of the road, you know, and i kind of went on past him because i didnt hit him, which i would have, might have took him out, but i probably got past him a little bit, and he come up on me, and i could see him in the mirror and he was coming for the d , and i seen his hands right behind the door. >> ladies and gentlemen, in the video as opposed to the officers testimony, you can se...

Arbery in the moments before his death. but if you listen carefully, i think youll hear a somewhat different story and a different truth. >> you know what, im gonna keep going. >> he says im going to keep going, hes put the car in gear, but if you watch, youll see mr. bryan isnt going back towards mr. arbery, hes not going back towards the mcmichaels, hes going in the opposite direction, and he starts at a high rate of speed. you hear his wheels lose traction slightly. now, you cant see yet but ...

Questions that i started with. when did roddie bryan know the mcmichaels brought guns with them. when did roddie bryan know travis mcmichael would shoot mr. arbery. and at that point, rather, what could roddie bryan do to stop it. we ready? all right. im going to try and keep up with this video. at .03 seconds into this video, mr. arbery turns around. now, stop. what i want you to do is not so much look at the video at this point. listen with your ears to the noises in the background. because th...

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...
