standard than what you even need to find in this case. certainty was way more knowledge than they needed to detain ahmaud arbery to execute a citizens arrest. and that was greg mcmichael s intent. he said it from the very beginning. he was asked by the investigator, parker marcy testified to you, what was your intent had he stopped? and he said, as clear as a bell, hold him for the police so that he could be arrested. the judge will charge you that a private citizen can effectuate an arrest, detaining someone for the police to arrive if a crime happens within his knowledge or
inside the federal reserve, we understand that our decisions matter for american families and communities. i strongly share that sense of mission, and i m committed to making those decisions with objectivity and integrity based on the best available evidence and the long-standing tradition of monetary policy independence. mr. president, thank you, again. we re going to take you now from the white house to the courthouse in georgia, where the trial has just resumed. closing arguments just resumed for the three men charged with the killing of ahmaud arbery. let s listen in. bobbie is flying down crossbrook drive again in the new car. you have to talk with him and get him to slow down so no one is hurt. the police can t be everywhere and in a safe, secure neighborhood, police are helped by those neighbors.
then he drives across the dog leg, comes to the end of the street and he sees mr. arbery again with this truck, again, with this truck, tangled up with this truck in what looks like, again, aggression at the truck. so travis stops. he stops. he s thinking to himself why is this guy not running through this open yard, this is is a satilla right here. this is holmes, this is where he sees the truck. what is with it that this guy is not going this way, and who is that truck? what s happening? instead, they both run around travis back up around the dog leg. travis says, okay, i m watching. i m looking. i m going to pull forward, stop in my car at the end of the street, and i m just going to take up a spot right here. i m going to take up a spot here. i know that he s currently not over here. i know he s not behind me. i can see my house right there. i can see up satilla drive and
with him in the way he is. this is what s happening undeknownst to travis. travis mcmichael s truck, it isn t there, it s because it s all the way back down holmes near satilla. the state is going to play the recording that you heard of mr. bryan turning, driving and revving and doing all this stuff. this will be the third interaction that mr. arbery will have at this truck. and mr. bryan is freaked out to say the least, so freaked out he drops his phone, this is where the phone drops and goes pitch black for about a minute. and in this time, you ll hear sounds. you ll hear engine noise. you ll hear turning. you ll hear shifting. you ll hear seat belts clanking. you ll hear the three-point turn eventually where he says i m going to head back that way. what you don t hear on that phone even after audio enhancement, even after any kind
street. that s the level of criminal intent, the level of depravity, heartlessness, sickness, that you would need to find beyond a reasonable doubt to find greg mcmichael guilty of malice murder. that s why i suggest that you begin with count 1 and quickly dispatch of it with a not guilty verdict. and then move down to the remaining counts. counts 2 through 9. because it comes down to this. if greg mcmichael was authorized by law to attempt to execute a citizens arrest, to try to detain ahmaud arbery for the police to come and do their job, to try to keep peace and safety within that neighborhood, then they were within the law to hold him there for the police.
