The Jackie Johnson trial is well underway in Brunswick, Georgia. Johnson, former Glynn County district attorney, is charged with violation of oath of a public officer and obstruction and hindering police following the murder of Ahmaud Arbery in 2020. Arbery was chased by three white men, then shot and killed in Glynn County. Greg McMichael, his son Travis McMichael, and William “Roddie” Bryan are all serving life sentences after being convicted for his murder. Johnson is accused of using her power as DA to protect two of the men who were eventually convicted. This week, Arbery's mother, members of law enforcement and others gave testimony during the trial. WTOC's Hayley Boland breaks it all down.
Katie and Kristi update many of the cases they are following. Daybell, Doerman, Majorjon Kaylor, Tiger King, Delphi, Shawn Combs, Sherri Papini, Ammon Bundy, Murdaugh/Becky Hill, Greg McMichael, Travis McMichael, and William "Roddie" Bryan, Kouri Richins, and Carlee Russell.
In the midst of everything that is going on, you need to find something to uplift and better ourselves as people. And this podcast has been that for myself & the listening audience all over the world. And in the middle of another black life that has been lost due to racism, a mother has carried her son's legacy and memory into a foundation that will be fundraising for an incredible cause. On February 23, 2020, Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old black man, was murdered during a racially motivated hate crime while jogging in Satilla Shores, a neighborhood near Brunswick, GA. Three men hunted him unjustly & as Arbery attempted to defend himself, Travis McMichael fatally shot him. The case would have been mishandled had the public interest not peaked and forced outside agencies to take over the case. On June 24, 2020, a grand jury indicted each of the three men on charges of malice murder, felony murder, and other crimes. On January 7, 2022, the McMichaels were sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole plus 20 years, while Bryan was sentenced to life imprisonment with the possibility of parole after 30 years. Now, after 3 years since the tragedy, his mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones is keeping Ahmaud's name alive with his the 1st Annual Run With Maud 5k Walk/Run. The Run with Maud 5K Run/Walk, an initiative to celebrate the life of Ahmaud Arbery and raise funds for the foundation established in his name, will take place on May 6 in Centennial Olympic Park. "Ahmaud ran to feel free,” said Cooper-Jones, who created the foundation. “It is the goal of the Ahmaud Arbery Foundation for all people to enjoy running for their mental and physical health. The Run with Maud 5K will raise awareness for that vision and funding to provide mental health resources for black boys." This is the interview that is live on MajicATL.com as well as run during my show on Sunday afternoons, "Sunday Sirmons." Please visit AhmaudArberyFoundation.org to join the great cause. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/therealsix5/message

Can a civilization survive without faith? It's a question many Americans are considering as a wave of secularism sweeps the nation.There are those that push back against the idea that faith and religion should be involved in the political process. They point to the establishment clause in the Constitution that prevents the government from establishing a religion as evidence the Founders wanted to keep religion separate from the apparatus of state.Eric Metaxas, a Christian author and host of "The Eric Metaxas Show," disagrees."I think that the Founders knew that a robust faith was at the very heart of keeping the republic. There was no question about that," Metaxas says. "I think the misunderstanding that we've been living with for decades now, that somehow we're supposed to keep our faith out of the public square, is utterly preposterous."Metaxas joins the show to discuss the role of faith in society and whether America can survive if she loses her faith heritage.We also cover these stories:President Joe Biden says he isn't worried about a possible Chinese response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's recent visit to Taiwan.Greg McMichael and his son Travis McMichael are sentenced to life in prison on federal hate crime charges for the death of Ahmaud Arbery.New York City Mayor Eric Adams calls for federal aid to deal with ongoing busloads of illegal immigrants from Texas.American author and historian David McCullough is dead.

Rittenhouse murdered Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and injured Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, when he blasted them with an assault rifle as he walked the roads of Kenosha with other armed men acting as a self-described militia during marches in August 2020, after a white police officer murdered a Black man, Jacob Blake. Travis McMichael was found guilty on all counts, while his father, Gregory McMichael, was found guilty on all counts but malice murder. William “Roddie” Bryan was guilty of felony murder and a slew of other charges such as aggravated assault, false imprisonment, and criminal attempt to commit a felony.

Teacher accused of injecting teen with COVID-19 vaccine arrested New York police arrested a Long Island teacher accused of forcefully injecting a student with a COVID-19 vaccine on New Year's Eve. Laura Russo, 54, was arrested last Friday at her home, Nassau County police said in a statement on Monday. She is charged with the unauthorized practice of a profession. According to the police report, Russo, who is not a registered medical professional, injected the vaccine into a 17-year-old male at her residence when she was not authorized by the parent of the teenager to administer it. The youth went home and told his mother he was vaccinated. The mother then notified police. Russo's son is friends with the teenager, and when the two were at Russo's home, the teenager reported that his mother didn't want him to get vaccinated just yet, so Russo gave it to him. Arbery Killers Get Life in Prison; No Parole For Father, Son Three white men convicted of murder for chasing and killing Ahmaud Arbery were sentenced to life in prison Friday, with a judge denying any chance of parole for the father and son who armed themselves and initiated the deadly pursuit of the 25-year-old Black man. Superior Court Judge Timothy Walmsley said Arbery left his home for a jog and ended up running for his life for five minutes as the men chased him until they finally cornered him. The judge paused for a minute of silence to help drive home a sense of what that time must have felt like for Arbery, whose killing became part of a larger national reckoning on racial injustice. Greg and Travis McMichael grabbed guns and jumped in a pickup truck to chase Arbery after spotting him running in their neighborhood outside the port city of Brunswick on Feb. 23, 2020. Their neighbor, William “Roddie” Bryan joined the pursuit in his own truck and recorded cellphone video of Travis McMichael firing close-range shotgun blasts into Arbery.

Father and son Greg and Travis McMichael were both sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for chasing down and killing 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery in Santilla Shores, Georgia, in February 2020. William Bryan, a man who filmed the fatal encounter, was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole. Also: a sheriff in Texas is accused of taking money from undocumented immigrants during traffic stops, a judge upholds a decision to fire two officers for playing Pokemon GO on the job, and Ghislaine Maxwell may have grounds for a new trial.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/crimeandcourtusa)
Ahmaud Arbery, an unarmed black man, was chased down, cornered, and killed near Brunswick, GA, by white vigilantes on February 23, 2020, while jogging through a white neighborhood. The men who killed the 25-year-old Arbery claimed they thought he was a burglar after allegedly spotting him looking around a house under construction in the community. Arbery's murder became national news because one of his alleged murderers, 52-year-old William "Roddie" Bryan, recorded the pursuit and killing on his smartphone. Bryan claimed he merely used his truck to help chase down and corner Arbery. The other defendants — 67-year-old Greg McMichael and his son Travis McMichael, 35 — are seen confronting Arbery in an attempt to perform a "citizen's arrest" in an encounter that ends with Arbery dead after three gunshots. More than two months would pass before authorities took action.
Recently, two very significant verdicts came down in trials that captured national attention.First, Kyle Rittenhouse was charged with multiple counts of murder for killing two people (and seriously injuring a third) during the Kenosha, Wisconsin protests following the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Rittenhouse, a 17 year old armed with an AR-15 assault rifle, was with a local "militia," until he got separated and ultimately ended up firing his gun into three separate people.Second, Travis McMichael, his father Gregory McMichael, and their neighbor William "Roddy" Bryan were put on trial for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery in Glynn County, Georgia. The three men claimed that Arbery had been burglarizing a construction site in their neighborhood, and attempted to stop him. The encounter ended up with three shotgun shots being fired, and Arbery dying in the middle of the road.Both Kyle Rittenhouse and Travis McMichael (the individual who actually shot Arbery) claimed self-defense. In this episode, we examine the evidence in both of these cases through the lens of what the requirements are to argue self-defense in each particular state. Paul provides his thoughts on why one claim was accepted by the jury, and one claim was not.If you enjoy the show, check out our website at insummation.com! Thanks!

Rittenhouse…Not GuiltyThis past week, the Jury decided the outcome of the fatal shootings by then 17 year old Kyle Rittenhouse. Not Guilty. A verdict that elated some but majorly disappointed others. Two men lost their lives and a third forever altered at the hands of Rittenhouse due to his careless actions of possessing a military style gun and choosing to go to the protest with that very weapon. Every action has a reaction whether good or bad and this simply put, was avoidable. At some point people must be held accountable for their actions and not allowed to just do what they want when they want and not face any consequences especially when it so clearly and devastatingly has affected others & their loved ones.Justice for Ahmaud ArberyBack on February 23, 2020, Ahmaud Arbery, a twenty-five-year-old African American man was jogging near his home in Brunswick, Georgia on a Sunday afternoon. Ahmaud was chased down and killed by three white men with guns. Travis McMichael, his father Gregory McMichael, and their neighbor William Bryan Jr. These three white men saw a black man and decided to confront Ahmaud accusing him of burglary and tried to conduct a citizen's arrest. When Ahmaud tried to protect himself, by fighting them off, he was shot in cold blood. The crime was videotaped by the neighbor, William Bryan Jr.Once this story got media attention and it went mainstream, black people demanded that justice be served and that all three men be charged with Ahmaud's murder. Now, eighteen months later, the men are on trial and facing malice murder and felony murder for killing Ahmaud Arbery. Hundreds of people including pastors around the world are rallying outside the Courthouse. The Defense has requested several mistrials and the judge keeps denying their request. In addition, the Defense attorney crossed the line by requesting from the judge that no Black Pastors be allowed in the courtroom. He referred to both Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson being a distraction to the jurors. Closing arguments are expected on Monday and the family of Ahmaud Arbery is looking for justice for their son.Welcome to Episode 10 of Season 2 for Authentic Filters.

Friday on Political Rewind: A verdict in a trial from a small town in Georgia gripped the nation. Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael and William "Roddie" Bryan were found guilty of murder charges on Wednesday. In February 2020, the three men chased Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man, in pickup trucks as he jogged in a Coastal Georgia neighborhood. Travis McMichael shot and killed Arbery during the chase. Bryan filmed the killing on his cellphone. Travis, the shooter, was found guilty on all nine counts. His father, Greg McMichael, was convicted on eight of the nine. Bryan was convicted on six counts. However, questions linger. This trial may never have happened, were it not for the shocking video that exposed the shooting and the failure of law enforcement to initially hold anyone accountable. Outside the courtroom following the verdict, the Rev. Al Sharpton told a crowd much work was left to be done. So what should we make of the outcome of the trial? Emory University professor Dr. Andra Gillespie said more consideration is needed of subtle examples of racism in society. "My concern in the grand scheme of things is when can we develop a consensus that racism manifests itself in ways that is not as obvious as a bunch of guys hunting a Black man as he's walking down the street," she said. "That's when I know that our society has made progress, and that's the thing that I'm still hopeful we can get there.

A Georgia jury has found all three men charged in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery guilty of murder and other charges. Gregory McMichael, Travis McMichael and William "Roddie" Bryan Jr. could possibly face life in prison without parole.

Tuesday on Political Rewind: Questions about what constitutes legal self-defense and proper use of the citizens' arrest law dominated closing arguments in the trial of Gregory and Travis McMichael and William Roddie Bryan — the three white men charged with murder in Ahmaud Arbery's shooting death. Attention is on the jury as it prepares to deliberate on the evidence, but it was one defense lawyer's disparaging description of Arbery's appearance that sparked outrage from his family and many observers. Emory political science professor Dr. Andra Gillespie said the description of Arbery ties into a larger theme seen throughout the trial. "It reinforces this idea that Ahmaud Arbery stood out because people were uncomfortable with the fact that he was a Black man running through this neighborhood," Gillespie said. "And that is the reason why he was targeted in this case in the way that other people aren't. And that's not Arbery's problem. That is the defendant's problem in this particular case. It is our problem as a society that we should be able to allow Black people to go take a jog through a white neighborhood without having to worry about their lives being endangered." Meanwhile, the new Republican-drawn Georgia congressional map sets up a battle between Democratic incumbent U.S. Reps. Carolyn Bordeaux and Lucy McBath. With little chance to win in the newly drawn 6th District, McBath announced she is planning to run for Bordeaux's 7th District congressional seat.

Monday on Political Rewind: Self-defense was a key argument in the pursuit of acquittal in Kenosha, Wisc., in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. Meanwhile in Georgia, defense lawyers in the trial of Gregory and Travis McMichael and William "Roddie" Bryan" also claimed self-defense as closing arguments unfolded on Monday. Both trials have highlighted deep racial and partisan fault lines. Morehouse political science professor Dr. Adrienne Jones said race provides a crucial context for understanding the trials. "We are living in two different worlds, right?" Jones said. "The Black community in the United States is experiencing the police and the vigilante system differently than the majority of people here in the United States. It's historical, in the South in particular." The trials also sparked conversation on gun laws in the United States. Adding to the conversation, an accidentally discharged gun led to panic at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport this weekend. Officials from the Transportation Security Administration said more guns have been confiscated at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport than at any other airport in the country so far this year. In other news, the government agency charged with monitoring workplace safety said it is suspending enforcement of the federal vaccine mandate for large businesses.

This week, I'm joined by gun lawyer John Monroe to discuss Kyle Rittenhouse successfully claiming self-defense during his murder trial. Monroe practices gun law in Wisconsin. He has argued similar cases in the past and is even appearing before the state's supreme court soon. His experience gives him specialized insight into the case against Rittenhouse and why the jury came down on his side. We discuss the details of Wisconsin's self-defense laws. Monroe says the case hinged on reasonableness. Specifically, whether Rittenhouse reasonably feared for his life and whether the force he used in response was reasonable. Monroe gives an in-depth explanation for how the video evidence in the case helped Rittenhouse convince the jury his actions were reasonable in the moment. And he discusses some of the erroneous claims made by the prosecution. He details why Rittenhouse carrying a gun did not mean he forfeited his right to claim self-defense and why he wasn't required to use a lower level of force in the altercations. We also talk about the parallels and key differences between the Rittenhouse case in Wisconsin and the Ahmaud Arbery case in Georgia where Monroe also practices. While both cases involved a struggle over a gun, Rittenhouse only shot after being pursued and attacked while Arbery was shot after he was pursued and attacked. Monroe said Travis McMichael, who shot Arbery, is less likely to be successful in his self-defense claim. Special Guest: John Monroe.

On February 26, 2012, a “neighborhood watch captain” named George Zimmerman shot and killed a young African American man named Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida. Almost eight years later to the day, in Brunswick, Georgia, 264 miles due north of Sanford, Florida, a group of self-appointed law enforcers – Gregory McMichael, Travis McMichael and William “Roddie” Bryan -- pursued another African American man, Ahmaud Arbery. During the pursuit, Travis McMichael twice shot Ahmaud Arbery in the chest with a shotgun killing him. The two cases are remarkably similar. In this episode, Serge and Clarke reflect on the way in which the cases unfolded, the juries were selected, and the shooters defended themselves in the courtroom.
Today on Sojourner Truth: One of two contentious and highly-watched court trials in U.S. history are now taking place, both of which will have an impact on race relations in the country. One of them is the trial of three white men accused of killing a young Black jogger last year in broad daylight in Georgia. Ahmaud Arbery was shot on February 23, 2020 by Gregory and Travis McMichael, and pursued by William Bryan. Today, we focus on the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 18-year-old young white man who shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, as well as seriously wounding Gaige Grosskreutz. Our guest is Kieran Knutson, President of CWA Local 7250 and has been active in protests in solidarity with George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement. Kieran is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Also, on Saturday, November 13, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as COP26, came to a close. The conference, which took place in Glasgow, Scotland, has been described by many as a failure and a disappointment. Like many of the decisions that came out of the COP26 climate summit, the final agreement has been widely critiqued as being weak and ineffective. Our guest is Tom Goldtooth, the executive director of the Indigenous Environmental Network. Tom has been awarded with recognition of his achievements throughout the past 40 years as an activist for social change and indigenous-based just transition within the Indigenous and environmental and climate justice movements.

Monday on Political Rewind: Race continues to be a central theme in the case of Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael and William "Roddie" Bryan — the three white men charged with murder in the shooting of Black jogger Ahmaud Arbery in 2020. A defense attorney in the case received criticism after complaining about the presence of Black pastors, including well-known names like Rev. Al Sharpton, in the courtroom. Emory professor of constitutional law Fred Smith said the attorney's comments are notable because they provide additional framing of the high-profile case within America's ongoing reckoning with racism. "Part of what we're seeing in this particular trial is that the subtext of race — which is often present in the American criminal legal system — the subtext is just the text,” Emory professor Fred Smith said. “There's also, built into that, a broader context in the criminal legal system, where many scholars like Paul Butler and others have written, about how when police see African Americans, they are viewed more as a threat and how that's kind of a thread throughout criminal legal system." Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is scheduled to sign the long-awaited infrastructure bill Monday. Every Republican member of Georgia congressional delegation voted against the measure. Some congressional Republicans who did vote for the bill, including South Carolina's Lindsay Graham, are being targeted with death threats and calls for expulsion. In other news, a federal appeals court signals its displeasure with the Biden Administration vaccine mandate.
