0 there he goes. this is the white truck. he's still underneath here. here comes somebody to the truck. he's right there. here comes greg mcmichael-he comes around. he gets in. then mr. albenze starts walking down the street. truck pulls out. there goes his arm. there goes his arm. where is the truck? already pulled out. already pulled out and heading down the street. all right. should you trust the statements of travis mcmichael? well, let's go ahead and first take a look at this. he told you he's not going to chase or investigate someone who is armed, and yet all he talked about was, he kept reaching into his pants, kept reaching into his pocket. well, did you think he was armed or not? then what did he tell you? this is what i was thinking. mr. arbery may have run by. maybe matt had seen him. maybe he has broken in. maybe harry english is over at 220. i don't know. maybe ahmaud arbery was caught. maybe ahmaud arbery was trying to run from the police. these are all maybes. he doesn't know anything. these are all the maybes he testified to. he said he assumed he was committing a crime. that's what he said on the stand. remember? i wrote it out. you said you assumed he was committing a crime. i went down there to see if it was him. then he said, i don't know. i don't know what he did that day. i don't know. then he wanted to talk about his totality of the circumstances and all that stuff that he knew that was going to allow him to do the citizens arrest. what did he talk about? well, i heard from my mom about the stuff stolen off the boat. okay. well, can't arrest somebody on unsupported gossip of someone else. can't do that. and then i saw him by the house and i knew he was in there a couple other days because i seen video on february -- on february 11th, saw these videos. okay, well, that's not having committed a crime in somebody's presence. this is somebody showing you stuff about something else. knew about the white couple, the other suspects. he also said, yeah, then there was the shady looking guy under the bridge. he was also kind of a suspect. said i want to talk to you, i want to talk to you, what happened down the road? i was ordering him to stop. what gives you the right to order ahmaud arbery to stop? my impression was that he could be a threat, because who knows what can happen? oh, my god. self-defense. you have to think you're in imminent danger of receiving serious bodily harm or death. i'm about to die. my impression was that he could be a threat. yeah. who knows what could happen? he said that on the stand. all right. so what else have we got? if greg called 911, he still would have been on the phone with 91. we know that. that's how 911 works. they stay on the phone with you. he knew he wasn't on the phone with 911. he told you he didn't know what his father was saying to amauld. really? does anybody believe that, that he was in the car with his dad but he has no idea what it was that his father was actually saying to ahmaud as well as what he was saying? now, what did he talk about? he talked about that, like, continuum of the use of force and blah, blah, blah. level two is commands. okay. i'm sorry. how do police officers command people to do stuff? how do they usually do that? because police officers, are they yelling at you or are they politely saying stuff to you and commanding you to do things? do you believe for a minute he was talking softly to ahmaud arbery? what's going on, what are you doing? please stop running. do you really believe that for one minute? i'm going to ask you another question. do you think this travis mcmichael who took the stand was the same travis mcmichael from february 23rd? you think the they're the same person? or do you think this is trial preparation? what tone of voice do we have being used by the mcmichaels? >> hello. >> 911. what's the address of your emergency? >> i'm out here at satilla shores. there's a black male running down the street. >> where at satilla shores? >> i don't know what street we're on. stop right there! stop! >> sir, hello? >> ask yourself was that the tone of voice being used? well, yes, we know it was. he just said, stop, goddamn it, stop! to mr. arbery in that tone of voice. use of force continuum. presence. did not have no badge, no uniform, no authority. just some strange guys in a white pickup truck. strangers. verbal commands. they don't have any authority to use verbal commands. this is a fellow citizen. it's another human being. they're pulling up on him and they're commanding that he stop and talk to them. and then of course he skipped level three, level four, level five, and went right to deadly force. boom. someone's dead. claims he didn't cut off ahmaud on burford, did not get out with his shotgun. i don't know, do you believe any of that? told police he got out of his car on holmes a few houses down and told ahmaud to stop. now he says that doesn't happen. i was really confuse preponderance of the evidence what are the coast guard goals? to not escalate but to keep everyone calm and cool. you don't want anything to escalate. then he tells you pull out a shotgun and point it at someone to de-escalate the situation. what are you tacking about? does this logic make any sense to anybody? travis mcmichael never said to the police, i was making an arrest, trying to arrest him for the crime of this? wouldn't that be really important. hey, i was trying to effectuate a citizens arrest for a crime i know he committed. wouldn't that be something you tell the police? never once. never told mr. arbery who was under arrest. never saw i saw him commit the crime of blank today. he didn't because he was on the sofa. never said he was going to hurt my dad or pull him down. never mentioned become afraid for his dad. not once. anything about the english's boat or anything being stolen from 2/20, never mentioned it, never talked about it. two hour and 24 45-minute interview, doesn't talk about any of this stuff. assume the worst. here's what he did. so, he stopped. and i said, hey, just want to talk to you, you know, where are you running from, where are you going? this is what he says he said. he's asking ahmaud about what he was doing that day. that day. because he didn't know what he'd done that day but he assumed the worst, he must have committed some crime. what's your emergency? there's a black man running down the street. what did agent seacrest tell you? gbi agent. i can't compel anyone to speak to me. they knew better, just like agent seacrest knows. i can't compel anybody to talk to me. all right. let's go ahead and talk about defendant bryan. 307 burford. you see the video. i'm not playing for you again. it's motion activated on the coach. travis mcmichael's white ford f-150 pickup truck comes in front. driveway decision. this is important, ladies and gentlemen. this is really important. y'all got it? why is this important? what does this say? mr. bryan, from his porch, can tell that they are chasing and trying to falsely imprison, stop, confine mr. arbery. he can tell it from his porch. he knows exactly what they're doing. y'all got him? he knows what they're doing, and you know what he chooses to do? his independent, independent, own decision, i'm going to go join them to try and stop this guy, confine and detain him. he just joins in and starts helping. his driveway decision. that is what being a party to the crime is. you go to help some people who are committing some crimes, trying to stop this guy and detain him and contifine him. he joined in. y'all got him? he knew exactly what the mcmichaels were doing. what did mr. bryan tell you? so, i just kind of saturday there for a minute and didn't really know what to do, and then he was trucking, so, i mean, he closed in on me quick, and as soon as he got up to me, i overshot the road. i was kind of angled. i overshot the road and forced him to go down into the ditch right there. aggravated assault with a pickup truck on mr. bryan's verdict form? check. and i angled amuck at him again. i think he kind of turned around. i missed him or whatever. i missed him. he was intending to hit him. i missed him. when you say i mtszed him, what does that mean you were trying to do? you were trying to hit this person. then at the scene, he tells an officer when i cornered him on burford, he was trying to get in my truck. he tried to get in my door. okay. trying to get in his door. or mr. bryan, did you get so close to mr. arbery that mr. arbery had to push off from your truck leaving his palm print on your truck? because you got so close to hitting him he had to push off to get away from you? i mean, i can't say for sure that he wasn't on the door. i didn't give him a chance to get to the door, but after i angled him off the side of the road, you know, and i kind of went on past him, because i didn't hit him, which i would have, might have took him out and not got him shot, but, you know, i probably got past him a little bit, and he comes up on me and i could see him my mirror and he was coming to my door and i could see his hands right behind the door. after i angled him off to the side of the road, i kind of went right on past him. i didn't give him a chance to get to the door. yeah, towards the entrance. towards the entrance. i confronted him again. ing a vaggravated assault numbe three. left-hand side, heading towards the entrance of the neighborhood. he confronted him once again at that corner of holmes and satilla. i was fixing, i put it in reverse and was going to back up at him, and that's when he made his move to go back down the road. felony murder right there. felony murder for criminal attempt at false imprisonment, felony murder forring a valted assault with a pickup truck. he kept mr. arbery from running down satilla drive and out of satilla shores and redirected him up holmes. but for those actions, mr. arbery would be alive. played a necessary and substantial part in the death of mr. arbery. i packed up and started going down that way. i think i angled at him again, kind of forced him off the road or something right in here, and he turned around, turned around right here. the black guy did. he turned an and started running back the other way, and i pulled into a drive or something and started to turn around. fourth aggravated assault with a pickup truck. there's his route. there's the mcmichael route. and here it is all together. so once again, ladies and gentlemen, the indictment. how could defendant bryan be responsible for using his silverado, travis mcmichael murdering ahmaud arbery, how can be held responsible? it's ral simple. party to a crime. the law does, in georgia, believe that everybody to wh helped, encouraged, advised, went inside a house and grabbed their son and told him to get his shotgun and come on, they're all equally responsible for the ultimate death of the victim, because a person is a party to a crime only if that person directly commits the crime. travis mcmichael, shotgun. helps in the commission of the crime. wouldn't be able to do that if not for his father and if not if mr. bryan. intentionally advises and encourages. that's what greg mcmichael is doing. cut him off, cut him off, go this way, i'm going that way. what are they doing in the truck? they're working together, greg and travis mcmichael. that's why they're both responsible. greg mcmichael is just as big a murderer as travis mcmichael is because he's a for p party to t crime. okay? when three people chase an unarmed man in two products with guns in order to violate his personal liberty, who gets to claim, i'm not responsible for that? under the law in georgia, no one gets to say that. everybody is responsible. i'm going to give you an example. this is just an illustration, just to make a point, okay. four men drive to a bank to commit an armed robbery. all right? the driver that never gets out of the car, the lookout outside, a guy who goes in without a gun and a guy who goes in the bank and shoots the guard. all right? so who's guilty? under the law in georgia, all of them are responsible for aggravated assault for shooting the guard and armed robbery for trying to rob the bank or robbing the bank. all right? because they committed the crime or helped in the commission of the crime or they advised and encouraged someone to commit the crime. and of course you're saying, but linda, only one person had their finger on the trigger in this case, and that was travis mcmichael. so how do we find greg mcmichael and william roddy bryan guilty of murder? under the law in georgia, it's as if they were all holding the gun together. in this example, the guy who never got out of the car is just as guilty. the guy in front of the bank is just as guilty. party to a crime. under the law, all are involved. why? well, greg mcmichael, he was seeking to confront ahmaud arbery. he was encouraging travis mcmichael to come with him, encouraging travis to cut him off. greg mcmichael threatened ahmaud to get him to stop. okay? we would not be here if it weren't for greg mcmichael. travis mcmichael, without travis mcmichael deciding to actually take his shotgun and help his dad. he could have told his dad, we're not doing this, calm down, call the police. there's a whole bunch of decisions both of them could have made that would never have resulted in ahmaud arbery's death. he decided he's going to drive his pickup truck to chase ahmaud, and he got out of that truck with that shotgun. totally and absolutely unnecessarily. mr. bryan, who decided to help the mcmichaels, without bryan, assaulted arbery in his pickup truck without redirecting him on to holmes, without bryan chasing ahmaud toward travis mcmichael, we wouldn't be here, because ahmaud arbery would not be dead. doesn't matter who actually pulled the trigger. under the law, they're all guilty of malice murder. all right. let's take a look at the crime scene. of note, ahmaud arbery had nothing on him, no bag, no backpack, no burglary, no cell phone, no i.d., no wall it, no keys, no gun, no weapon. nothing. i'm going to show you some crime scene photos. so what do we have? take a look at this. this is what's important in this pic picture. these pants are so baggy. look at this. look how baggy they are. he's running like this. there's no way they believe he had a gun on him. absolutely no way. mr. arbery was shot first in the torso and through the wrist. all right? he was shot this way where it came out this way. so what's he doing? coming around the corner, here it is, here it is, his wrist gets shot. did he grab the end of the shotgun? did he try and push it away? who knows? but we do no is it happened like this and travis mcmichael fired. they struggled over the gun. then they're struggling over the gun. two more gunshots and he gets shot under his left armpit. i am going to show you the crime scene photos. why do we know he got shot in the wrist? because of the blood splatter. two spurts. remember? why is there blood here in the road in this driveway? from the arterial spurt from the wrist. that's how we know the wrist got shot when he was shot in the torso. there's the evidence of it in the crime scene photos. what do we also know? here's the gunshot wound to the torso. here's the gunshot wound under the armpit. both lethal, lethal injuries. travis mcmichael attend of his interview, the very end of his interview with detective nohilly, do you remember if he grabbed the shotgun at all? i want to say he did, but i honestly cannot remember. if he grabbed that shotgun, that would be the first thing travis mcmichael would have said. yeah, he grabbed my shotgun. all right. we are going to talk about greg mcmichael. greg mcmichael did attempt to control the narrative after the this took place. he's the one who started this whole thing, and now his son has killed someone, and that young man is laying dead in the street from she's shotgun blasts. what does greg mcmichael do? well, while first responders are on the scene, he's telling his kid, you didn't have any choice. he goes over and talks to bryan to find out what he saw. oh, he's got a video. he talked to diego perez. he's outside the crime scene tape wandering around, talking to people. someone brings him a phone. stranger comes up to him, some stranger, some neighbor comes up to him. this is a crime scene. there is a deceased young man in the middle of the road, and strangers are walking up to him. what does he tell the stranger? this guy is an asshole. malice right there. that's how you know. right there. 2/15 p.m., he's talking to captain john pump, the head of the criminal investigations division of glynn county police department. while tom jones, crime scene tech, is taking photos. okay? and then greg mcmichael drives his white truck from the scene. never got any pictures of the white truck. never got pictures of the silverado. hmm. the white truck was never searched. mr. bryan's truck was never searched. neither of those trucks were impounded. so what have we got? we got this. outside the crime scene tape talking to the held of cid. look at the crime scene photos. what happens next? he drives that truck away while the crime scene tech is there taking photos. no one said mr. arbery had a weapon. no one said mr. arbery made any verbal threats or gestures. nobody said i saw him commit a crime today. no one said i was trying to make a citizens arrest. no one was trying to arrest him for a crime of anything. nobody said any of these things on february 3rd, 2020. greg mcmichael's statements to the police. these are important. this is why greg mcmichael is guilty. did this guy break into a house today? that's just it, i don't know. that's what i told what's her name out there. i said, listen, you might want to go knock on doors down there because this guy just done something because he was fleeing. i don't know. he might have gone in somebody's house. you can't make a citizens arrest because someone's running down the street and you have no idea what crime they have committed that day. you can't hold somebody so the police can show up to go, he must have done something. why don't you police officers figure out what he did today. that's what greg mcmichael told the police. then he was asked, is he picking up anything or going through anything? you know, not that i recall. i don't think the guy's actually stolen anything out of there. or if he did, it was early on in the process, but he keeps going back over there, over and over again, this damn house. no one ever said, we have evidence that he stole items out of larry english's boat back on some unknown date, so we were trying to arrest him for that. there's never any mention of larry english's house and the stolen items off the boat. not by anybody. my intention was to stop this guy so he could be arrested. never says for what. never says what crime it was he was going tock arrested for. i don't think the guy's actually stolen anything. did he break into a house today? i don't know. and in that same sentence, he could be arrested or at least identified. so this is all for identification. this, this whole entire thing, this, this was all to do what? identify mr. arbery. that's what we're doing. that's what greg mcmichael says. how do you know it was an attack on mr. arbery? strangers with intent to kill? i yelled, stop or i'll blow your fucking head off or something. i wanted to let him know that we weren't playing. this is what he said to the police. now, got up here and said, yeah, he was just confused. he didn't mean that. he didn't remember what he said. really? he proudly told the police, this is what he said to mr. arbery. we're going to kill you if you don't stop. greg mcmichael. yeah, he was trapped like a rat. knowledge, intent, that they had committed false imprisonment on holmes drive, right there. greg mcmichael, guilty of all charges. what's your em
