down 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. all right. so i backed 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, he turned around right here. the black guy did. he turned around maybe down this far or so, but hep turned around 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 altogether. so once again, ladies and gentlemen, the indictment. how in the world could defendant bryan be held responsible if he was in his silverado filming the murder at the time travis
mcmichael murdered ahmaud arbery? how can greg mcmichael be held responsible? okay, it s real simple. party to a crime. the law does, in georgia, believe that everybody who helped, encouraged, advised, went inside a house and grabbed his 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, pulling the trigger on the shotgun. helps in the commission of the crime he wouldn t be able to do that if not for his father and if not for mr. bryan. intentionally advises, encourages that s what greg mcmichael s doing. cut him off, cut him off! go this way! no, i m going to go that way! what are they doing in the truck? they re working together, greg and travis mcmichael. that s why they re both responsible. laura hogue s grandparents said,
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 that both of them could have made that would have never 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, who then assaulted ahmaud in his pickup truck in an effort to falsely imprison him on burford, without him redirecting ahmaud on to holmes, without bryan chasing ahmaud towards 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. even 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 idea, no
yeah, 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. so what do we have? why do we know that he got shot in the wrist? because of the blood spatter. the arterial spurt. remember? okay? 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. and 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 at the end of his interview, the very end of his interview with the detective, 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.
there he goes. this is the white truck. he s still underneath here. there comes somebody in the truck. he s right there. there comes greg mcmichael. he comes around, he gets in. and 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
