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.
In The Verdict and the Aftermath, we present our coverage of the verdict in the trial of Alex Murdaugh, as well as the aftermath of the case.Before we begin this final episode of Season 8 of Jury Duty, we want to let you know, that we are suspending publication of this Jury Duty Podcast, as well as further publication on our flagship website, CrimeStory.com, to focus our energies on other endeavors that are only possible because of the work we've done here at Jury Duty and over at CrimeStory.com. One of those new endeavors is a podcast produced by our sister company, Pleasant Run Productions. “Shadow of Hope” explores the history of the People of Hope, a Catholic Covenant Community. At their peak in the 1980s, the People of Hope took over a parish in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, clashed with local residents, and built the suburban equivalent of a compound.Over eight episodes, host Karen Ann Coburn tries to find out what led regular people – her neighbors, classmates, and friends – to commit their lives to this secretive group. In the process, she reveals the truth about life inside a Covenant Community and ponders the question, “What price are we willing to pay to belong to something bigger than ourselves?”Meanwhile, over nine seasons here at Jury Duty, we've covered the trials of Robert Durst, Kyle Rittenhouse, Travis and Gregory McMichael and William "Roddie" Bryan (convicted for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery), former Olympic equestrian Michael Barrisone, Harvey Weinstein, Danny Masterson, OJ Simpson, and Alex Murdaugh. Over the last four and a half years, this podcast series has generated nearly five million downloads.For a more detailed and thorough overview of the work we've accomplished both at Jury Duty and across the Crime Story Media Endeavors, head over to our Farewell Page at CrimeStory.com. Most importantly, we want you to know that we are so grateful to all of you for following us on this journey, and we hope you will stay tuned for what comes next. Hosted on Acast.

The white father and son who chased and killed Ahmaud Arbery in a Georgia neighborhood each received a second life prison sentence Monday — for committing federal hate crimes, months after getting their first for murder — at a hearing that brought a close to more than two years of criminal proceedings. U.S. District Court Judge Lisa Godbey Wood handed down the sentences against Travis McMichael, 36, and his father, Greg McMichael, 66, reiterating the gravity of the February 2020 killing that shattered their Brunswick community. William “Roddie” Bryan, 52, who recorded cellphone video of the slaying, was sentenced to 35 years in prison. https://www.tsbrenterprises.co/all-pages --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tsbrenterprises/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tsbrenterprises/support
Holyoke Media, en asociación con WHMP radio, emiten diariamente la Síntesis informativa en español a través del 101.5 FM y en el 1240 / 1400 AM. Esta es la síntesis informativa del martes 9 de agosto de 2022: - Un padre blanco y su hijo que persiguieron, acosaron y mataron a Ahmaud Arbery en un vecindario de Georgia recibieron cada uno una segunda cadena perpetua el lunes, por cometer delitos federales de odio, meses después de recibir la primera por asesinato, en una audiencia que culminó con una sentencia de casi dos años de procesos penales. La jueza del Tribunal de Distrito de EEUU, Lisa Godbey Wood dictó las sentencias contra Travis McMichael, de 36 años, y su padre, Greg McMichael, de 66, reiterando la gravedad del asesinato de febrero de 2020 que destrozó a su comunidad de Brunswick. William “Roddie” Bryan, de 52 años, quien grabó un video del asesinato con un teléfono celular, fue sentenciado a 35 años de prisión. “Un joven está muerto. Ahmaud Arbery tendrá 25 años para siempre. Y lo que sucedió, encontró un jurado, sucedió porque él es negro”, dijo Wood. Los McMichael fueron sentenciados previamente a cadena perpetua sin libertad condicional en un tribunal estatal por el asesinato de Arbery y le pidieron al juez que los desviara a una prisión federal para cumplir sus sentencias, diciendo que estaban preocupados por su seguridad en el sistema penitenciario estatal. Bryan había buscado cumplir su sentencia federal primero. Wood rechazó las tres solicitudes. Las sentencias impuestas el lunes pusieron fin al segundo juicio contra los hombres responsables del asesinato de Arbery, que junto con el asesinato de George Floyd en Minneapolis y el tiroteo fatal de Breonna Taylor en Kentucky alimentaron una ola de protestas en todo el país contra los asesinatos de personas desarmadas y personas de raza negra. FUENTE: AP Los preparativos están en marcha para el nuevo año escolar que comienza a finales de este mes de agosto. El Departamento de Educación Primaria y Secundaria, o DESE, realizó una reunión a puertas cerradas con los superintendentes el lunes por la tarde para atender los protocolos COVID-19 del próximo año escolar. El comisionado de DESE, Jeffrey Riley, dirigió la reunión. Duró aproximadamente media hora y abordó principalmente los protocolos de COVID-19 para el próximo año escolar. La conclusión principal es que la guía de COVID-19 de la primavera pasada será la guía que seguirá adelante en el otoño. Eso significa que el uso de mascaras es opcional. Los distritos escolares no están obligados a informar los casos de COVID-19 al DESE, y si los estudiantes o el personal dan positivo, pueden regresar a la escuela después de 5 días de cuarentena si no tienen síntomas. En mayo se anunció que el estado ya no suministrará pruebas rápidas de COVID-19 a los distritos escolares, por lo que se publicó más información sobre la compra de pruebas rápidas y máscaras a través de un contrato estatal. DESE monitoreará cualquier actualización de la guía del CDC, pero los funcionarios estatales no siempre están al día con ellos. Algo interesante de nota: la viruela del simio se abordó brevemente. El comisionado Riley dijo que cuando el Departamento de Salud Pública y el Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de los EEUU publiquen una guía, seguirán su ejemplo con su propia guía. Funcionarios de DESE en un comunicado el lunes anterior dijeron que planean poner esta información a disposición del público en los próximos días. FUENTE: WESTERN MASS NEWS, HOLYOKE MEDIA
Check out EP 34 as we talk about Kyle Rittenhouse and the three men who shot and killed Ahmaud Arbery while running in Satilla Shores, Georgia. 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.

Three Georgia Men Charged with Federal Hate Crimes and Attempted Kidnapping in Connection with the Death of Ahmaud Arbery . Three Georgia men were indicted today by a federal grand jury in the Southern District of Georgia and charged with hate crimes and the attempted kidnapping of Ahmaud Arbery. The indictment also charges two of the men with separate counts of using firearms during that crime of violence. Travis McMichael, 35; Travis's father, Gregory McMichael, 65; and William “Roddie” Bryan, 51, were each charged with one count of interference with rights and with one count of attempted kidnapping. Travis and Gregory McMichael were also charged with one count each of using, carrying, and brandishing—and in Travis's case, discharging—a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence. Counts One and Two of the indictment allege that the defendants used force and threats of force to intimidate and interfere with Arbery's right to use a public street because of his race. Specifically, Count One of the indictment alleges that as Arbery was running on a public street in the Satilla Shores neighborhood of Brunswick, Georgia, Travis and Gregory McMichael armed themselves with firearms, got into a truck, and chased Arbery through the public streets of the neighborhood while yelling at him, using their truck to cut off his route, and threatening him with firearms. Count One also alleges that the offense resulted in Arbery's death. Count Two alleges that William “Roddie” Bryan joined the chase and used his truck to cut off Arbery's route. In addition to the hate-crime charges, Count Three alleges that all three defendants attempted to unlawfully seize and confine Arbery by chasing after him in their trucks in an attempt to restrain him, restrict his free movement, corral and detain him against his will, and prevent his escape. Counts Four and Five allege that during the course of the crime of violence charged in Count One, Travis used, carried, brandished, and discharged a Remington shotgun, and Gregory used, carried, and brandished a .357 Magnum revolver. All three defendants have also been charged in a separate state proceeding with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, it Attorney Tara Lyons of the Southern District of Georgia, and Deputy Chief Bobbi Bernstein and Special Mitigation --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/Teddy-G/support

Three white men, convicted in a state court of the brutal murder of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man they saw jogging through their suburban Brunswick, Ga., neighborhood on Feb. 23, 2020, are on trial in federal court. Federal statutes allow for separate/additional prosecutions for crimes allegedly committed in violation of human-rights laws. Racial hatred motivated Arbury's attackers -- Gregory McMichael, 65, son Travis McMichael, 35, and neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan, 52 -- the prosecutor has charged. In her opening statement prosecutor Bobbi Bernstein laid out the premise of the federal case: Ahmaud Arbery, she told the court, would not have been murdered had he been white. Is the prosecutor playing "the race card" to sensationalize the case and play to Black sympathies? Is she unmasking the sheer brutality that lurks behind the illusion of well-ordered life? On Leid Stories today we look at how the murder of Ahmaud Arbery lays bare the false notion of "progress" in the South.
Three white men, convicted in a state court of the brutal murder of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man they saw jogging through their suburban Brunswick, Ga. neighborhood on Feb. 23, 2020, are in their second day of trial in federal court. Federal statutes allow for separate/additional prosecutions for crimes allegedly committed in violation of human-rights laws. Racial hatred motivated Arbury's attackers -- Gregory McMichael, 65, son Travis McMichael, 35, and neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan, 52 -- the prosecutor has charged. In her opening statement prosecutor Bobbi Bernstein said that Ahmaud Arbery would not have been murdered had he been white. QUESTIONS: ︎Is prosecution under federal statutes double jeopardy? ︎Could prosecutors prove beyond the shadow of a doubt what was in Arbery's killers' minds when they murdered him?
︎How prepared are we for the very real possibility that the United States could soon be at war, as President Biden has vowed, should Russia, still massing its forces against Ukraine, overrun it? President Biden has warned Russia of swift and certain U.S. military action if it should invade Ukraine. But Russia continues massing its troops at Ukraine's borders. ︎Ahmaud Arbery would not have been murdered had he been white, the prosecutor in the federal trial of three men who chased and killed Arbery as he jogged through their neighborhood told the court yesterday afternoon as the trial began. Arbery, 25, was shot to death on Feb. 23, 2020. Gregory McMichael, 65, son Travis McMichael, 35, and neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan, 52, were convicted in the killing of Arbery and sentenced to life in prison. QUESTION: What would true justice be in this case?

President Biden's declaration that he'll nominate by the end of February a black woman to the U.S. Supreme Court to fill the seat that Justice Stephen Bryer will have vacated by his retirement. What's your take on how Biden is handling this? Prosecutors in the federal hate crime case of the killing of Armaud Arbery filed notices yesterday that they've made plea deals with two of the three men -- a father and son, Gregory and Travis McMichael -- charged in Aubery's Feb. 23, 2020 shooting death. William "Roddie" Bryan, the third member of the posse that chased Arbery and cornered him as he jogged through their neighborhood outside Brunswick, Ga., was not included in the plea deal, which Arbery's parents, Wanda Cooper Jones and Marcus Arbery, said they are "vehemently" against.

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.

Jury Duty host Kary Antholis continues his gavel to gavel examination of the trial of Travis and Greg McMichael and William "Roddie" Bryan. In The Killing of Ahmaud Arbery: Prosecutor's Rebuttal Closing — Part 1, Antholis examines the rebuttal closing argument of Prosecutor Linda Dunikowski. The host observes that while Dunikowski rehashes many of the legal concepts that she laid out in her opening, this time she does so while repeatedly pointing out many of the flaws in the defense arguments. Dunikowski seems to have approached this jury as a group who would pay careful attention to the judge's instructions and take seriously their responsibility to apply the law to the facts in this case.Jury Duty will go through the prosecutor's rebuttal in great detail, because, in retrospect, we believe that she read this jury very well, and used this rebuttal to nail down the convictions against the three defendants.

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.

Ahmaud Arbery's killers sentenced to life in prison. Here's what happened today in the sentencing of the 3 men who killed Ahmaud Arbery. Travis McMichael and his father, Gregory McMichael, were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole by Judge Timothy Walmsley on Friday in the death of Ahmaud Arbery. William “Roddie” Bryan was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole. Walmsley addressed Arbery's family ahead of the sentencing, warning that "sentencing does not generally provide closure." "In this case, I think many people are seeking closure. The mother, the father, the community, and maybe even parts of the nation, but closure is hard to define and is a granular concept. It's seen differently by all depending on their perspective and the prism of your lives," Walmsley said. A jury consisting of nine White women, two White men and one Black man, found the men guilty on a raft of charges, including felony murder, in November. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/Teddy-G/support

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.

Nearly every day, Ahmaud Arbery went out for a jog. February 23, 2020 was no exception. His route included a loop through Satilla Shores – a neighborhood just a couple miles from his own, but not nearly as racially diverse. After a while, a truck with a Confederate flag vanity plate began following Ahmaud. Inside the truck were Gregory and Travis McMichael. Both men had guns. They yelled at Ahmaud to stop. They wanted to “talk to him.” Ahmaud wasn't interested. He tried to get away from the men, but soon, a man named William Roddie Bryan joined in. He used his truck to trap Ahmaud. Ahmaud had nowhere to run. Then, Brandi tells us about a mysterious pool death. As handyman Gerald Gardener walked toward the back of Samira and Adam Frasch's home, he spotted the couple's dog running loose by the pool. Then he saw a pair of sandals. One was caught under a hose on the first step of the pool. The other floated nearby. Gerald moved in closer. That's when he spotted Samira, dead at the bottom of the pool.

All the Lawyers Who Stood Between Ahmaud Arbery and Justice. The three notorious white men caught on video chasing and fatally attacking Ahmaud Arbery last February are now officially convicted murderers. But Gregory McMichael, his son Travis, and their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan” are not the only villains in the gruesome case plagued by allegations of initial prosecutorial misconduct before arrests were made 70 days after the 25-year-old Black man's shooting death in Georgia. The prosecutors who won the case argued that Arbery was on a jog through Satilla Shores, a mostly white neighborhood in Brunswick, Georgia when the trio chased him down the street after wrongly suspecting him of burglary. Travis McMichael was caught on video footage—filmed by Bryan—firing the fatal shots. The defense for the three men argued that they were trying to perform a citizen's arrest on Arbery in connection with suspected break-ins in the area. After nine hours and two days of deliberation, a Glynn County jury on Wednesday found the three men guilty of felony murder in the Feb. 23, 2020 homicide death of Arbery. But Arbery's murder was almost never prosecuted. And when the case did make it to trial, defense attorneys stepped over themselves to engage in ugly arguments rife with racist innuendo. Last February, Johnson was the Brunswick District Attorney in the midst of a re-election campaign when Gregory McMichael, a former police officer and one-time investigator in her office, called her after his son shot Arbery to death in the street. Eventually, Johnson referred the case to Waycross District Attorney George E. Barnhill, recusing herself. But investigators now allege she meddled in the case before handing over the reins. On Sept. 2, after losing her re-election bid, Johnson was indicted on several charges—including obstructing police—after allegedly directing officers to not arrest the McMichaels after the incident. The indictment also states that Johnson showed “favor and affection” to Gregory McMichael and failed to treat Arbery's family “fairly and with dignity” when she recused herself from the investigation. Johnson has not yet entered a plea in her case, and her attorneys could not be reached for comment. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/Teddy-G/support

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss the forthcoming Supreme Court oral argument in a high-profile abortion case in which Mississippi is asking the Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, the start of the Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking trial, and the potential contempt of Congress referrals for people who defy January 6th House investigation subpoenas, such as former DOJ official Jeffrey Clark.

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.

Three men face a possible sentence of life in prison -- without the chance of parole -- for killing Ahmaud Arbery. Yesterday, a jury found Travis McMichael, his father Gregory McMichael, and their neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan guilty of murder in last year's shooting of the 25-year-old, as he jogged through a neighborhood in Brunswick, Georgia. The guilty verdict provoked strong reactions from both President Biden and Vice President Harris. An investigation is underway this morning after at least 27 migrants died when their small boat capsized in the English Channel. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade will be in full swing this morning after it was scaled back last year due to the pandemic. The New York City Police Department is ramping up security to protect spectators and marchers. More than 53 million Americans are expected to be traveling for Thanksgiving. But there are concerns holiday gatherings could make the pandemic worse.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Three men were convicted of murder Wednesday in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, the Black man who was running through a neighborhood in a Georgia city when the white strangers chased him, trapped him on a quiet street and blasted him with a shotgun. The jury deliberated for about 10 hours before convicting Greg McMichael, son Travis McMichael and neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan. The men all face a mandatory sentence of life in prison. The judge will decide whether their sentences are served with or without the possibility of parole. The February 2020 slaying drew limited attention at first. But when video of the shooting leaked online, Arbery's death quickly became another example in the U.S.'s reckoning over racial injustice and the way Black people are treated in their everyday lives.

In the verdict in the second high-profile court case with a strong racial aspect in just five days, a jury today found three white men, Gregory McMichael, Travis McMichael, and William "Roddie" Bryan, guilty in the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. Arbery was jogging in a residential neighborhood in Brunswick, Georgia in late February of 2020 when the three men chased the young black man in their vehicles. Suspecting Arbery was a burglar, Travis McMichael shot and killed Arbery with a shotgun during a scuffle. On this episode, Jessica and Joe break down the 27 charges against the men, how and why the case and the verdict were different from the outcome in last week's Rittenhouse trial, the selection of an almost all-white jury for the murder of a black man in a mostly-white county, and why 75 days elapsed between Arbery's murder and the arrest of the three men.

Wednesday afternoon, on the second day of deliberations, a Glynn County jury found all three men accused of killing Ahmaud Arbery guilty of murder. Travis McMichael, who shot Arbery on Feb.23,220, was found guilty on all nine counts. His father, Gregory McMichael, was found guilty on eight counts. The McMichael's neighbor, William "Roddie" Bryan, who captured Arbery murder on video, was found guilty on 6 counts. All three men face minimum sentences of life in prison.On Wednesday's edition of the “Closer Look,” program host Rose Scott has reaction from the courthouse and state and local leaders. Scott also talks with Hank Klibanoff, an Emory University professor, veteran journalist, and the host of the WABE podcast “Buried Truths,” which investigates the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, about the verdict.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Jury continues deliberations in trial for Ahmaud Arbery's killing. A jury is continuing deliberations Wednesday in the trial of three men charged with killing Ahmaud Arbery in Brunswick, Georgia. Travis McMichael, his father Gregory McMichael and their neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan have all been charged with murder and other counts for the death of Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man who was jogging in the neighborhood in February 2020. The court heard final rebuttal arguments from the prosecution Tuesday morning, after both the prosecution and the defense delivered their closing arguments on Monday. The defense claims the men acted lawfully under the state's citizen's arrest law — which was in effect at the time but has since been repealed — because they were suspicious he might have been involved in neighborhood burglaries. And they say they had a right of self-defense against Arbery who, one defense attorney said Monday, "chose to fight." The prosecution disputed all of that. "All three of these defendants made assumptions — made assumptions about what was going on that day, and they made their decision to attack Ahmaud Arbery in their driveways because he was a Black man running down the street," lead prosecutor Linda Dunikoski told the jury. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/Teddy-G/support
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.

ABC's Derrike Dennis has the latest. A prosecutor in the murder trial over Ahmaud Arbery's death is arguing that none of the three men charged in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery had cause to make a citizen's arrest when they saw him in their neighborhood. Linda Dunikoski told jurors in her closing arguments today that the three defendants decided to pursue Arbery "because he was a Black man running down their street." Arbery was chased and fatally shot Feb. 23, 2020, after he was spotted running in a neighborhood outside Brunswick in coastal Georgia. Father and son Greg and Travis McMichael and their neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan say they suspected Arbery was a burglar. Derricke spent the weekend interviewing homeowners in the neighborhood where the shooting happened. Those who would speak to him said the McMichaels were known to be acting as if they were law enforcement in the area before the shooting took place. Derricke will have the latest from Brunswick.

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.

It isn't often a defendant takes the witness stand with his life on the line. But Travis McMichael did just that last week. He might as well have had the life of his father, Greg McMichael, on the line, too. The 18th episode of the Eighth Season of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's “Breakdown” podcast focuses on what happened inside the courtroom and outside of it as the trial for the McMichaels and William “Roddie” Bryan near an end. All three men are being tried for the alleged murder of Ahmaud Arbery on Feb. 23, 2020. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
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.
This is Father Jared Cramer from St. John's Episcopal Church in Grand Haven, Michigan, here with today's edition of Christian Mythbusters, a regular segment I offer to counter some common misconceptions about the Christian faith. As I write this week's episode, deliberations have just begun in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse for homicide in the deaths of Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, along with the gunshot injury to Gaige Grosskreutz. Alongside of Rittenhouse's trial, we have been watching the prosecution make its case against Greg McMichael, his son Travis, and their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan, who chased down Ahmaud Arbery before Travis McMichael allegedly shot him (supposedly) in self-defense. Both of these trials are tremendously polarizing and have resulted in significant pressure on all sides of the political aisle. They involve questions of gun rights, self-defense, freedom of speech, freedom to protest, among a host other questions… not the least of which are the persistent realities of racism in our country. This is all seen in the context of the Black Lives Matter movement, the continued controversies surrounding that movement's condemnation of the continued deaths of people of color in our country. All that political heat can make it hard to see, sometimes. So, I'd like to take a moment, now, before I even know what the results of Rittehouse trial are or what the results of the trial of the men whose actions led to the death of Ahmed Arbery, I'd like to take a moment and talk about the church and the question of “Black Lives Matter.”Because we need to be honest, brutally honest, that one of the reasons our society does not seem to value black lives as much as the lives of white people is because of the ways in which Christianity supported and is complicit in narratives of white supremacy. The transatlantic slave trade was founded on Christianity. A series of popes in the fifteenth century argued for the enslavement of non-Christians as “an instrument for Christian conversion.” Thomas Aquinas drew from Aristotelian understandings of slavery to insist that the slave was the rightful and natural instrument and property of the owner. Christians merged Aquinas's understanding of the “natural slave” with the idea of Ham's curse in the Hebrew Bible, insisting (without any true proof in the text, I might add) that Africans had inherited that curse and that slavery was their natural state.And so it was that Christians insisted slaves should obey their master, that masters were at total freedom to punish—even kill—any slave that resisted. When the Civil War concluded, Christianity was a driving force behind segregation, insisting that this was a biblical principal and that the government must not infringe upon our freedoms… And so one of the founding principles of the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups after the Civil War was their belief that they were protecting their Christian nation. And it's not just a question of Christian support of racism and slavery, it is also about the hesitance of the broader church to speak out and denounce those views when they occurred.In the book The Color of Compromise, author Jemar Tisby tells the story of what happened after four young girls were killed in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, during the Civil Rights Movement. A white lawyer got up in front of an all-white business club and asked them who was responsible for throwing the bomb. He then answered his own question, saying, “We all did it.” Tisby goes on, noting, “Every time that the white community—especially Christians—failed to confront racism in its everyday, mundane forms, they created a context of compromise that allowed for an extreme act of racial terror like planting dynamite at a church. That's the idea of complicity.”All of this Christian complicity with racism lies uncomfortably under the deaths of black people in our country right now. The church must own that history. The church must repent of that history. The church must do something to make right the history we have helped write.And in the trials currently happening in our country, Christians must demand justice. They must demand justice for a system that lets a cop go free when he shoots a twelve-year old black child who has a toy gun. A system that also seems to suggest that a seventeen-year old white boy with an assault weapon posed no threat.The reason it doesn't feel to many people like Black Lives Matter right now is because Christians have spent centuries saying they don't matter the same. Christians today must stand up and say, enough. Christians today must make good upon the calling of God to resist injustice, to affirm the dignity of every human being. If Christians cannot say Black Lives Matter and repent of our complicity in the sins of racism… then Christians should not be surprised if the rest of the modern world has no interest anymore in our religion.

Here's what's on Leid Stories today. In the Glynn County courthouse in Brunswick, Georgia, state prosecutors yesterday rested their case against three white men -- Gregory McMichael, 64; his 35-year-old son Travis McMichael; and William "Roddie" Bryan, a 52-year-old family friend and neighbor of the Travises. Leid Stories listeners were on the right track in pointing up major issues in the case as the courtroom battle unfolded, and then again as lawyers for the three defendants hinted at their clients' side of the story. The questions today: Will there be a theme to the defendants' arguments? What should we expect to hear? How will they explain their actions that fateful day, Feb. 23, 2020, when Ahmaud Arbery was jogging through their predominantly white neighborhood but was chased by the trio and brutally killed?
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.

In this bonus episode, The Killing of Ahmaud Arbery — Defense Attorney: "We Don't Want Any More Black Pastors Coming In Here", host Kary Antholis and Georgetown Law Professor, MSNBC analyst and one of the nation's most frequently consulted scholars on issues of race and criminal justice, Paul Butler, discuss the shocking comments made in court on Thursday, November 11, 2021, by attorney Kevin Gough, who represents defendant William "Roddie" Bryan. Kary and Paul break down the implications of Gough's remark that his team didn't, "want any more Black pastors coming in here ... sitting with the victim's family, trying to influence a jury in this case."

We don't want any more Black pastors' in Arbery murder trial, lawyer says. A lawyer for one of the three white men charged with killing Ahmaud Arbery said his team did not want “any more Black pastors coming” into the Georgia courtroom after a civil rights leader attended proceedings. Thursday's comment by Kevin Gough drew sharp criticism from the Rev. Al Sharpton, whom the defense attorney cited in asking the judge in the high-profile case to exclude African-American clergy. Kevin Gough represents William “Roddie” Bryan, who along with father and son Greg and Travis McMichael is charged with murder and other crimes in Arbery's Feb. 23, 2020, killing. The 25-year-old Black man was chased and fatally shot after the defendants spotted him running in their neighborhood outside the Georgia port city of Brunswick. Gough told Superior Court Judge Timothy Walmsley that he was concerned Sharpton's presence in court Wednesday was an attempt to intimidate the disproportionately white jury hearing the case. The jury was not in the courtroom when he made the remarks. Obviously there's only so many pastors they can have," Gough said. “And if their pastor's Al Sharpton right now that's fine, but then that's it. We don't want any more Black pastors coming in here ... sitting with the victim's family, trying to influence the jurors in this case.” Jason Sheffield, one of Travis McMichael's lawyers, told the judge he didn't notice any distractions caused by Sharpton, who sat in the back row of the courtroom gallery wearing a mask. Gough said he didn't realize Sharpton had been there until after court had adjourned for the day. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/Teddy-G/support

We're just weeks away from the trial of Travis and Gregory McMichael and their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan – the three men accused of murdering Ahmaud Arbery. The prosecution believes the men profiled Arbery and stalked him with trucks and guns until there was a confrontation that left only Arbery dead. The defense argues that the men were justified under Georgia's citizen arrest law and were in court last week arguing that they should be able to make the case that Arbery may have been in committing crimes, with little evidence to back that up. Court TV's Matt Johnson joins host Vinnie Politan to discuss the defense's arguments and the prosecution fiery response.
