As a retired cop, let me tell everyone…people that steal always have a bag/backpack. It’s a must to hide and carry what they have stolen. He was two miles from home on foot, he can’t carry much of anything from a construction site in his shorts. The home builder told the dad in front of the police he didn’t see him steal anything on camera, these guys just hated seeing him in their neighborhood.
@@dt998 , he lived two miles away, walk/run what’s the difference? They were told by the homeowner “he didn’t see him steal anything”. The McMichael’s didn’t see him commit a crime at the moment they chased him…case closed.
@@dt998, you much be related to the convicted criminals, they thought they "knew" something too. You have absolutely no idea what he was doing, just like them.
@@dt998 just because they never seen him doesn’t make since they hey said they hey had seen him on camera like 3 times and n the pass looking around in that open property did he walk there or did he jog there these men are going to prison where they belong
Even if he had stolen something, they had no right to be vigilantes. He ran away, and never attacked him. This guy in the video even admitted it. Case shut.
I imagine the trauma is real... and also that he still thinks he is the victim. A black man disobeyed him, after all. And refused to satisfy his curiosity.
I agree we should have updates on him and his dad frequently.the public should know how they are living.that was a terrible hate crime and should not be living comfortable it’s prison and they are being punished.they should be punished like they killed a elderly white person or child. I kinda feel bad for the other guy because he thought he was helping them out on a good thing but that’s what happens when you don’t mind your business so he got what he deserved.even though he was not fund of people of color I really don’t think he thought it was going to end up like that.😮😮😮😮😮
Imagine how frightening it is if two strangers pulls up to you in a huge truck while you're on foot and alone shouting at you. You turn and run but they're following you. Oh God. His final moments must have been terrifying.
The sad part is, is it way worse than that right? He was being chased by one guy in a truck who was hitting him with that truck and he tried to run away but he couldn’t and when he tried to run away in a different direction he ran across another pair of men in another truck, one standing in the back of it, and he had another one pointing a shotgun at him, and for what for jogging?
Thats based on video and the defendants own testimony. The only part of that up for debate is whether the truck was hitting him or he was hitting the truck and I base that on just my own common sense.
They are ALWAYS good. It's the system with it's tactics and protocols that allow people like them to get off. Look at Rittenhouse 🤔🤨😒🤬🤬🤬. They have a problem prosecuting their own. She was amazing so let's see how this plays out.
@@TheTruth7340 I don’t understand Rittenhouse? The judge seemed biased in that case and how he got off….. bringing his war weapon to a protest ….. His crying on the stand looked inauthentic…… I still don’t know why?? Do all Americans need guns now? Yes, the prosecutor in this case was so very good.
@@janeeley1604 All white Americans, by way of Trump saying MS-13 is moving next door gives the paranoid people afraid of dark skin people the reason to get a gun and if you are "afraid" you are justified to murder in this country. I don't know how this is going to get better. They want a race war on the far right and this could trigger it.
You can almost see the realization on this guy's face when it becomes clear to him that Ahmaud Arbery actually has rights as a citizen of the United States.
You only know what your taught. This guys dad wanted Ahmaud dead too. When you really think about it in a psychological way, if anyone of us was born into that family that had shared those values, any of us could have been in that position. Not taking away from the fact that he deserves to be murdered and that I would do it myself if I knew I could get away with it
This whole "I thought he was going to get in my truck" excuse is absolutely ignorant. "He was running passed me" "I let him run away" Nothing he said makes sense. Guilty!
He said it showed that in the video too. I wish Linda would have jumped on him to point out exactly where he was trying to get into the truck cause I definitely couldnt see it.
These hillbilly goons cornered this young man like a rat in a corner! Thank God these jurors were honest people who respect the law, and justice in the name of the law.
He talking like its a reg day but his life on the line. He bout to go to jail jail. He thinking he sound good but nothing he says sounds good at all. Then his body language says he lying
to be honest, im not so sure the defense was trying to hard to defend these guys, especially if they are local guys and work in the circles there. Never can tell with cases like this. I know if i ever needed a lawyer, theres no way i would hire one anywhere remotely close to where i lived. But thank god these imbeciles got convicted
I mean I really don't get it!? They have a Mental issue I'm almost certain 👺 And to think these people are raising their children up to be just as hateful!
@@blackp3398 that’s why this crap has been going on for years an years. It’s taught from generation to generation. but their the 1s doing all of the killing. I’m just glad those 3 are gonna get what they deserve.
bc they have been taught to hate and they feel superior bc they are white and privileged. i mean they literally look like the stereotypes of white racists, even have the accent But yeah they did bc they thought they would get away with it since its happen numerous times when ppl of color are the victims and they know this and im sure his daddy got a way with doing this before when he was a police so they did this comfortably. Sad and true fact is they did get away with it until that tape was turned in. Just shows how racist that police dept was beacuse they let them go home from day 1. No care in the world bc it was a black life loss.
The fact that she is writing his statements down in real time, on a large white paper right as he speaks them, only to use them against his in closing statements is FREAKING SAVAGE LOL. I love this prosecutor ♥
Hearing this whole thing all the way through is really impressive. She gets Travis to admit that Arbery did nothing but run away from them. He did not say anything at all, or do anything threatening. At the end of the encounter, Arbery was coming toward him, but she noted that he was running away from Roddie, so Travis saying that he saw this person as a threat who had been running away from them for 5 minutes, sounded ludicrous. And then she had the series of questions of "you could have_____", all things that Travis could have done which would have prevented the shooting. Travis acknowledged "I could have" to all the things she said, and his excuses for why he didn't were laughable. He really did convict himself, with help from her.
I give the female attorney all the respect in the world for her handling of this case... She's so kind and polite to this monster while she strips him out of his sheep's clothing, A true professional.
@@gaetanomaximus8650 Not only a monster but a paste-eating monster. I bet you wouldn't say this around your friends family or boss. But anonymously on TH-cam? Sure.
@@jhonathanreed1465 citizens arrest law is wishful thinking of many. It's pretty useless. You can't restrain, stop , hold or pretend arrest someone. This is a case of a guy that thought he was a cop and had some information and thought he was better than others. He got bit as he should. Sentencing phase will be interesting. I'm guessing his father will die in prison as well as the video taking neighbor. Son is going to come out a 60 or 70 year old man. He is guilty on murder with malice. He could get life.
@@charlesstockford5913 They all have to at least serve 30 years before becoming eligible for parole. Except for Travis, malice murder has no eligibility for parole. They threw their entire lives away. Should’ve left the kid alone.
From start to finish even his lawyers continue to support Travis Mcmichael's lies. It didn't take the prosecution team to tear down his lies. The prosecution team used his own written statement to convict the Mcmichaels and William R Bryant of murder. Even if Travis Mcmichael's wouldn't have taken the stand he still woild have gotten convicted, his lawyers were horrible.....
I could not do the job that this woman does. I would be rolling eyes, saying mfck, and pouring sarcasm over my pores. Thank you prosecutor/jury/judge for bringing Justice to Ahmaud!
Truthfully, this doesn't change anything. This Society has never and still does not value ALL lives. Never has and was never intended to. This case can best be termed as an aberration. What say u?
Sadly, I find his testimony completely sincere. Its as though he genuinely finds nothing wrong with his behavior. It's as though he's thinking: "This is all just a misunderstanding. Once everyone grasps that this was a black man running through a white neighborhood this will all be over and we can all go home." He seems to lack even a trace of shame or guilt. The sort of racial superiority and entitlement thinking that is produced through years of generational racism.
He should just admit he "feels threatened" by unarmed black men trying to mind their own business. It's so painful to listen to him try to justify this unjustifiable behavior. He's more worried about himself than the fact that because of his actions, a man is not going home to his family ever again. :'(
@@emm8357 I’m so grateful for this prosecutor!! She was so great!! All I know is Ahmaud Arbery better get some sort of justice for this. Which is why all 3 need to be put behind bars for life!!
@@OdellHarden and He couldn't get help from there because Jackie Johnson couldn't do anything but help him lie. With friends like her who needs enemies?
The irony of it all is that Greg McMichael was a cop who retired fairly recently, and probably thought he was doing a great job of keeping the community "safe". Very cathartic knowing that a guy like him who clearly had no understanding of the laws he was enforcing won't be "saving" the streets with his dumbassery anymore

I think she’s already figured out what the defence attorney is going to argue as soon as she hears him pipe up, you can see her reformulate the question in her mind as the judge and the defence are speaking
I thought that at first also, but, her questioning, if that’s a word lol, method had him to tell on himself. “No he didn’t say anything, nothing and no, he didn’t have a weapon of any kind”… Clarity…
@@KnowYourWorthPodcast He’s a liar who kept tripping over his lies and contradicting himself because he can’t remember WHICH lie to apply to the question asked at the time.
It was the most traumatic devastating gut wrenching heart breaking soul crying bond breaking day for Wanda Cooper Jones the woman who gave ahmaud life yall turned her world upside down so much so Travis didn’t think how he would be leaving his son behind karma sometimes is an instant hitter
""So if he was stressed out, ... *"Imagine" I had the impulse to correct your English and spelling. You're anger superceded with all "CAPS" that of proper grammar. #Peace
Pretty chilling how he clearly explained how Ahmaud had no gun, no knife, did not threaten anyone physically or even verbally, and yet he shot him anyway.
No-one's ever tried to wrestle a shotgun away from me because I've never chased anyone down and then blocked their parth in the road while holding a gun to them. Amazing how easy it is to avoid ever putting yourself in this predicament.
I love the fact that she didn't even have to talk about racism but let the facts and evidence point it out itself was well done. She attacked the lies and forced the truth out of him. I love it. You would have thought that racism would have been her main strategy but it was the lawyers showing their racism. They weren't ready for her at all
And I heard she did that on purpose, keeping out racism out of her case and points. They are going to be facing federal prosecution, in which the layers in that level will most likely put in racism in their arguments. In which I hope they get he guilty verdict and by prosecute for their acts. I hope they rot in prison.
She knew that an all white jury wouldn't be able to empathize with a racist motive. So she just destroyed their "self defense" and "citizens arrest" claims in front of everyone instead.
Always Something. I think they had to save the obvious racism for the Federal Hate Crime charges they face. It'll all come out and be very apparent in February of 2022 when they go to trial on those charges!
Its the elephant in the room, it obvious what they are, why waste time, also a lot of white people hate hearing about racism because it makes them uncomfortable and she doesn't want the 12 white jury to start disliking her..so she stuck to the rest of the case even tho we know they are racist, smart Strategy
Classic case of "giving someone rope, and let them hang themselves"...she got him to detail step by step his own conviction along with his father and neighbor!! She is the epitome of what a prosecutor is supposed to do in the court of LAW!! The Judge deserves respect because he was unbiased throughout the entire process!!!
@@BeatdahnClahnThe amount of self-control she exercised to avoid tearing into him for his ignorant acts and lies is next level prosecution. She just carefully and strategically walked him step by step into his own conviction. She’s amazing in my book.
What would make Travis harbor so much hatred for a member of the human race on the basis of their complexion? This is the question that needs to be dealt with.
How they could convince themselves that they hadn't done anything wrong is shocking. The moment he realizes shes put the whole story together and his words trap him is priceless.
They didn’t convince themselves of anything. They’re racist pieces of garbage that felt like they needed to lynch someone that day and they thought they’d get away with it.
@@emilychen3839 They wanted to lash out at someone for the problems they were facing in their community. They wanted revenge on someone. They were power hungry, too, not confronting anyone at any time without a gun. And they fancied themselves executors of the law, because they used to be in military, or they used to be cops. Putting them above and giving them authority over the people they deemed outsiders. You can tell how they were being intentionally deceptive throughout the entire case. The lawyers prepped them very well. "Do not let them say Arbery was running away from you." Every time Linda said "run away," he corrected it to "run past." Why? Because "running away" is defensive. "Running past" can be construed as both defensive or aggressive. And, of course, Travis walked directly into Arbery's path with a gun pointed at him, making it impossible for there not to be a shooting. They also consistently rejected Linda saying Arbery was afraid. When Linda said Travis scared Arbery by driving beside him in the wrong lane and yelling questions at him, his response was "he wasn't scared." And when they questioned the medical examiner, the medical examiner said the "fight or flight" response was triggered by fear. And the defense suggested it could also be because he was ANGRY. And the medical examiner responded, no, I think it's probably the 3 men chasing him with trucks yelling they're going to blow his head off. Nope, he was just angry, not afraid. You have to feel sorry for these lawyers. They have to make such a pathetic defense of these murderers because it's their job, but my god. It's so gross.
She was so good. Knows her audience, no ego being demonstrated, no tricks, just getting him to tell the truth in all its damming simplicity. Just astounding, these defendants feeling perfectly justified in their deadly behaviors.
You've clearly watched too many TV shows and have been conditioned to think dishonest interrgations equate to getting the witness to tell the truth, as well as being a good lawyer. On one hand you could say she's a good lawyer in the sense that she got her win. On the other, she's not a good lawyer as she's unethical. However, that's par for the course with most lawyers. This trial was an ugly mess. Crappy lawyers all around and a crappy judge. Sadly, this is the norm....
@@DRourk The trial was ugly but I beg to differ she got him to tell on himself he was just too caught up in his illogical thinking to understand that what he, his father and neighbor were doing was wrong. She did her job she got him to tell on himself in more ways than one, that was the point of her cross exam. The crap came from the defense, they knew that these men did not have a defense and to quote the Kenny Williams post below "That didn't have to happen." I'll tell you one thing, if these men didn't know this before they sure know it now.
One of the saddest parts is that they think they were justified. They believe they did everything right. As a father of three young black males this version of America haunts me. I have to protect my kids from this evil
Thank you so much,I have a young black grandson and what scared me the most Those 3 white man's and not just them most white people think they are justified and telling a black person what to do and they supposed to do it if a white man say stop he thanks you supposed to stop immediately. white privilege
The crazy part is.... he knew he was confessing his own crimes, but the way she worded things it was unavoidable. The look of irritation and frustration in his face is immeasurable!
This is a no brainer…. To hear that you pursued, harassed, and provoked this young man as he tried to get away from you without even speaking nor responding to you!…. And while doing all of that, with a shotgun, you were afraid- and he didn’t have any weapons!… Mind blowing 🤯

Keep in mind they almost didn't even make it here!! Nothing was done initially. This case was revisited only AFTER Mr. Floyd's murde shook up the world. They forgot their lies bcuz 1)that's usually how liars do, & 2)they never planned on facing this.
They like using "I feared for my life" when in reality they were armed to the teeth and chased an unarmed jogger who tried very hard to avoid them. RIDICULOUS.
@@ZacAttackAtl Its bull in all of them. If a cop has a gun and the civilian is unarmed there is no reason for them to fear for life. We have seen cops inside an armored vehicle open the hatch to it and shoot someone and claim they where in fear of their life while inside an armored vehicle against someone with no way of hurting them. Police use it as a shortcut to get around probable cause for lethal force. Everything scares them so they can shoot when they want.
he truly thinks hes getting off on this, but you can see reality slowly starting to set in the deeper the testimony goes. These idiots buried themselves, and thank god. Scary to think that people as dense as these 3 guys can nearly get away with murder and almost did. Small town govts need a huge overhaul across america.
People who don't think they did anything wrong don't cover their tracks. They didn't at the time. The dad realized he had to pull something afterwards and contacted the shady DA
The Prosecutor in this case is brilliant, meticulous, concise, articulate, and calm. The defense lawyers were out of their league, absolutely no match for this woman.
Only the one DA Jackie Johnson has officially been charged they've got a few police to go after as well as another DA George Barnhill or something like that I forget his last name but he's the one that signed off on the paper work that says he wouldn't be pressing any charges They all gotta go and trust me Mrs Wanda Cooper- Jones and Marcus Arbery aren't given up until they all face charges are tried in court and sentenced. I salute the parents because we wouldn't have gotten to this point if they didn't do their own research.

Am I the only one who can't seem to stop watching this? He was so.confident when being questioned by his lawyers. Almost overly confident. What he or his lawyers didn't take into consideration before putting him on the stand, was the brilliance of the Prosecutors. You can physically see the change in his eyes and the moment all confidence dwindles with each question, as she discredits his story and proves his lies with facts and evidence!
This is such a simple case as it pertains to Travis McMichael. He chased Arbery, who was running through the neighborhood. Arbery then tried to get away from him and McMichael kept chasing him. McMichael positioned himself in front of Arbery, blocking the road with his truck, and illegally pointed a shotgun at Arbery. Arbery tried to defend himself and McMichael killed him. This is America. So, at no point in time did Arbery ever have an obligation to respond to McMichael's requests to stop, to engage him in conversation, or to interact in any way with McMichael, his dad or the third guy who was chasing him with another truck.
They're going to eat him alive in federal prison. We are looking at the first male inmate that is going to get pregnant. They are going to make him marry his own dad.
His little smiles really get to me. It’s like him and his posse were so sure they were justified. I’m so glad they’re guilty and showing they can’t get away with this!!
@@Mntungwa77 Not happening. They will be housed with white inmates. And he fact that they killed a black man will get them extra respect in prison. Sorry to shatter your dreams but i didn't make it that way, that's just how prison is.
The fact that he was trying to justify the murder even after this prosecutor has torn him to pieces. The way she picks his character and lets him dig himself in a deeper whole is impeccable.."you thought you were going to jail didn't you?" His response: NO....Her: you just killed someone and you don't think you're going to jail... Prayers for the Arbrey family.
Bafoon. “That’s when I let him run” You let him? YOU let him????? Should’ve “let him” live. God have mercy. I’m so sorry for the Arbery family, so sorry.
All the goes through my mind is what Arburys mother must be feeling knowing your child’s last moments were in fear dying in the street. That breaks my heart for her.
Horacio he was a nice kid??? He was 25 y o. Had pulled a gun at a basketball game and ran from the cops…I mean jogged away from the cops.. what did he do exactly? Did he have a job? Was he in college or trade school? I’m waiting…
Oh they knew. Because of their privilege and power to open carry guns they felt that they had the authority to do whatever they wanted and law enforcement would back them up. Just like Rittenhouse....using guns to intimidate people. Too bad that they both ended badly. Rittenhouse gets off because he balled profusely in the court room and had a biased judge. These guys aren't ballers and they confronted him instead of the other way around. I hope that they get life.
I think the Rittenhaus case is different. (Canadian btw so not politically biased) the men Kyle shot with a gun also had a gun and/or other weapons and his life was in danger. Kyle should not have had the gun in the first place, but it seems as though he was not expecting to have to use it, and that he wouldn’t have used it if his life wasn’t in danger
If you think she's good, you should look at the closing arguments of Fl vs Michael Drejka (the handicap parking lot vigilante). This prosecutor was clear concise and mind blowing . Treat yourself to 1:01 th-cam.com/video/-_pwufGlcuU/w-d-xo.html
Right. If I’m his lawyer I’m screaming NOOOO, but as a spectator I’m glad he is. Although I don’t think the prosecution needs it, the judge has ruled you have to have witnessed the crime in order to enact a citizens arrest and they admitted in opening testimony they never witnessed a crime.
This man knew the minute she started asking details regarding the video vs what he was saying then going back to the transcript several times to make him read the holes in his story he was done. These guys truly got what they had coming. They lied at the time of the crime, then sit on the stand trying to play the victim. Can't play victim to circumstances you've created yourself. Sad individuals, she is world class. Impressive work by her and her team.
My favorite part is 1:49:09 where she notes he could have gone around the back of his truck to follow Arbery, rather than confronting Arbery at the front. Travis says he is afraid Arbery would have tried to get in his open truck door. She says, you're telling this jury that you thought a man who has spent 5 minutes running away from you, wanted to continue to engage with YOU -- a man with a shotgun, and your father who said to stop or I'll blow your effing head off -- by getting into their truck? I love how Travis' smile just disappeared. He knew it made no sense and showed he was lying.
"If you are going to take the law into your own hands, you better know what the law is" Mrs. Linda Dunkoski. Amazing work. What a Wonderful voice. Thank you
Heartbreaking. Didn’t steal anything and even if he had, these “men” were never entitled to hunt him down and take his life as he defended himself. Even if he had stolen something, it certainly doesn’t warrant false imprisonment and death. Heartbroken for the arbery family
I don't really think they cared about that at all....he could have stole the house if he wasn't black.....they killed him because he is black nothing else
@joalexander8775- Well said! The fact that these knuckleheads were impersonating police officers by demanding him to stop, setting up a road block (i.e. false imprisonment, false detainment), drawn weapons, etc, etc, reveals they are complete lunatics!

Outstanding job by this prosecutor. She brilliantly laid her case out so calm and cool, meticulously picking apart his lies. Notice how she never directly called him out on his lies, but by asking the correct questions and referring to his prior statements and others testimony, she let him be his own undoing. She was playing high level chess in that courtroom.

Prayers for all ..stay safe!
Let…as though he had control of Ahmaud as a person to let or allow him certain actions. To let him run away means that he thought he could tell a told stranger what to do and where to go. The audacity and the racism is glaring in this case! Why didn’t he have this same energy with the white homeless man he suspected that lived under the bridge? He’s a racist bigot, and he’s going to jail.
@@phoebejames4320 Right! I found that word very telling of his bigotry and racism! It suddenly took me back to a time when slaves were being chased after running away.

@@prettypants08 man I wish the prosecutor had you in the courtroom!! I was praying she would go more into why he felt that he could tell someone to stop or talk to him. I really wanted her to hone in on him being the instigator and ahmaud after being cornered felt the need to defend himself. She did go into it a bit, but I wish she had stayed there a bit more than questioning him about his written statement. I hope she uses her closing arguments to go more into how Ahmaud was chase and gunned down. This trial felt like ahmaud was on trial.
I just want to kick those glasses off of his face, because they definitely weren't on him while he was hunting down Ahmad, then killing him. I guess he thinks it'll make him look less HOOSIER, which it does NOT. It's giving a dog in glasses; Absolutely unnatural.
It's up to the defendant if they testify or not the defense lawyers have absolutely no say over it and can only advice whether they should or not. I think if he didn't take the stand it'd be 100% guilty and as the other person said they tried a Risky option as a last resort. His dad already admitted threatening to blow his MF head off and all sorts. How can you actively pursue and chase someone when you have a loaded weapon and claim self defense it makes no sense, unless you're the police in active duty etc in this instance there was absolutely no reason to follow him and even at that they could have followed and stayed in their vehicles.

😅🎉😂😅😅😅
@paulahenderson9878 right his lawyer need to check on him now to see how he is acting
I agree we should have updates on him and his dad frequently.the public should know how they are living.that was a terrible hate crime and should not be living comfortable it’s prison and they are being punished.they should be punished like they killed a elderly white person or child. I kinda feel bad for the other guy because he thought he was helping them out on a good thing but that’s what happens when you don’t mind your business so he got what he deserved.even though he was not fund of people of color I really don’t think he thought it was going to end up like that.😮😮😮😮😮
Imagine how frightening it is if two strangers pulls up to you in a huge truck while you're on foot and alone shouting at you. You turn and run but they're following you. Oh God. His final moments must have been terrifying.
The sad part is, is it way worse than that right? He was being chased by one guy in a truck who was hitting him with that truck and he tried to run away but he couldn’t and when he tried to run away in a different direction he ran across another pair of men in another truck, one standing in the back of it, and he had another one pointing a shotgun at him, and for what for jogging?
How frightening to believe only what the media tells you
@@briand1025 I was just about to say the exact same thing
Thats based on video and the defendants own testimony. The only part of that up for debate is whether the truck was hitting him or he was hitting the truck and I base that on just my own common sense.

Wasn’t that a Masterclass?

@@janeeley1604 All white Americans, by way of Trump saying MS-13 is moving next door gives the paranoid people afraid of dark skin people the reason to get a gun and if you are "afraid" you are justified to murder in this country.

When you really think about it in a psychological way, if anyone of us was born into that family that had shared those values, any of us could have been in that position. Not taking away from the fact that he deserves to be murdered and that I would do it myself if I knew I could get away with it
@@Winter8555 I believe that. His Dad raised him to be aggressive towards black people and this is how it manifested.
This whole "I thought he was going to get in my truck" excuse is absolutely ignorant. "He was running passed me" "I let him run away" Nothing he said makes sense. Guilty!
Lol, "He let him run" can u believe this guy ? That's why hate is a bad business to get into....
Exactly.."I let him run".. like Aubrey owed him something..wtf gtfoh 😡🤬

Sad and true fact is they did get away with it until that tape was turned in. Just shows how racist that police dept was beacuse they let them go home from day 1. No care in the world bc it was a black life loss.

@@ebonyyvonne23 Right! 😆
Well the boy is stupid
Hearing this whole thing all the way through is really impressive. She gets Travis to admit that Arbery did nothing but run away from them. He did not say anything at all, or do anything threatening. At the end of the encounter, Arbery was coming toward him, but she noted that he was running away from Roddie, so Travis saying that he saw this person as a threat who had been running away from them for 5 minutes, sounded ludicrous. And then she had the series of questions of "you could have_____", all things that Travis could have done which would have prevented the shooting. Travis acknowledged "I could have" to all the things she said, and his excuses for why he didn't were laughable. He really did convict himself, with help from her.

No-one's ever tried to wrestle a shotgun away from me because I've never chased anyone down and then blocked their parth in the road while holding a gun to them. Amazing how easy it is to avoid ever putting yourself in this predicament.
I love the fact that she didn't even have to talk about racism but let the facts and evidence point it out itself was well done. She attacked the lies and forced the truth out of him. I love it. You would have thought that racism would have been her main strategy but it was the lawyers showing their racism. They weren't ready for her at all
And I heard she did that on purpose, keeping out racism out of her case and points. They are going to be facing federal prosecution, in which the layers in that level will most likely put in racism in their arguments. In which I hope they get he guilty verdict and by prosecute for their acts. I hope they rot in prison.
She knew that an all white jury wouldn't be able to empathize with a racist motive. So she just destroyed their "self defense" and "citizens arrest" claims in front of everyone instead.
Always Something. I think they had to save the obvious racism for the Federal Hate Crime charges they face. It'll all come out and be very apparent in February of 2022 when they go to trial on those charges!
exactly she really didnt have to
Its the elephant in the room, it obvious what they are, why waste time, also a lot of white people hate hearing about racism because it makes them uncomfortable and she doesn't want the 12 white jury to start disliking her..so she stuck to the rest of the case even tho we know they are racist, smart Strategy

Facts
They didn’t convince themselves of anything. They’re racist pieces of garbage that felt like they needed to lynch someone that day and they thought they’d get away with it.
@@emilychen3839 They wanted to lash out at someone for the problems they were facing in their community. They wanted revenge on someone. They were power hungry, too, not confronting anyone at any time without a gun. And they fancied themselves executors of the law, because they used to be in military, or they used to be cops. Putting them above and giving them authority over the people they deemed outsiders.
You can tell how they were being intentionally deceptive throughout the entire case. The lawyers prepped them very well. "Do not let them say Arbery was running away from you." Every time Linda said "run away," he corrected it to "run past." Why? Because "running away" is defensive. "Running past" can be construed as both defensive or aggressive. And, of course, Travis walked directly into Arbery's path with a gun pointed at him, making it impossible for there not to be a shooting.
They also consistently rejected Linda saying Arbery was afraid. When Linda said Travis scared Arbery by driving beside him in the wrong lane and yelling questions at him, his response was "he wasn't scared." And when they questioned the medical examiner, the medical examiner said the "fight or flight" response was triggered by fear. And the defense suggested it could also be because he was ANGRY. And the medical examiner responded, no, I think it's probably the 3 men chasing him with trucks yelling they're going to blow his head off. Nope, he was just angry, not afraid.
You have to feel sorry for these lawyers. They have to make such a pathetic defense of these murderers because it's their job, but my god. It's so gross.

You've clearly watched too many TV shows and have been conditioned to think dishonest interrgations equate to getting the witness to tell the truth, as well as being a good lawyer.
On one hand you could say she's a good lawyer in the sense that she got her win. On the other, she's not a good lawyer as she's unethical. However, that's par for the course with most lawyers.
This trial was an ugly mess. Crappy lawyers all around and a crappy judge. Sadly, this is the norm....
@@DRourk The trial was ugly but I beg to differ she got him to tell on himself he was just too caught up in his illogical thinking to understand that what he, his father and neighbor were doing was wrong. She did her job she got him to tell on himself in more ways than one, that was the point of her cross exam. The crap came from the defense, they knew that these men did not have a defense and to quote the Kenny Williams post below "That didn't have to happen." I'll tell you one thing, if these men didn't know this before they sure know it now.
One of the saddest parts is that they think they were justified. They believe they did everything right. As a father of three young black males this version of America haunts me. I have to protect my kids from this evil

This is a no brainer…. To hear that you pursued, harassed, and provoked this young man as he tried to get away from you without even speaking nor responding to you!…. And while doing all of that, with a shotgun, you were afraid- and he didn’t have any weapons!… Mind blowing 🤯
The fear they have of US.. DISTURBINGLY disturbing, 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 GOOD

Keep in mind they almost didn't even make it here!! Nothing was done initially. This case was revisited only AFTER Mr. Floyd's murde shook up the world. They forgot their lies bcuz 1)that's usually how liars do, & 2)they never planned on facing this.

They like using "I feared for my life" when in reality they were armed to the teeth and chased an unarmed jogger who tried very hard to avoid them. RIDICULOUS.
The aggressors with guns always fear for their life apparently. I've heard that excuse from armed cops against unarmed citizens so many times.
@@natashacutiepie6074 Exactly
@@natashacutiepie6074 bad take generalizing these instances like that but in this case it is bull
@@ZacAttackAtl Its bull in all of them. If a cop has a gun and the civilian is unarmed there is no reason for them to fear for life. We have seen cops inside an armored vehicle open the hatch to it and shoot someone and claim they where in fear of their life while inside an armored vehicle against someone with no way of hurting them. Police use it as a shortcut to get around probable cause for lethal force. Everything scares them so they can shoot when they want.
Exactly. I guess being black is a weapon to them. Smh
It is just that Travis never expected this would go to trial and he would go to jail.
I will never forget the look on his face when the judge told him no bail
He thought his father had connections & would get him off . His father probably got off with stuff in the past I think 😒
If Bryan hadn't recorded this, Moe, Larry and Curly would be whistling Dixie right now.

You've got that right.
You better know it and that's why I think everybody that the police department should be indicted
Absolutely
Remember when you were a kid and got caught doing something wrong by your parent and couldn’t explain your way out of it. This is that.
Agreed
"See what had happened was."
CORRECT
😂 no for real
Lol 😂 yup
What amazes me is how Travis seems to have this I was justified in what I did demeanor. Unbelievable!!
he truly thinks hes getting off on this, but you can see reality slowly starting to set in the deeper the testimony goes. These idiots buried themselves, and thank god. Scary to think that people as dense as these 3 guys can nearly get away with murder and almost did. Small town govts need a huge overhaul across america.

THE JURY TO TRAVIS: _"We don't buy your ridiculous story."_
The Prosecutor in this case is brilliant, meticulous, concise, articulate, and calm. The defense lawyers were out of their league, absolutely no match for this woman.
The police that let this man free should be charged as well
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY DETAILS OR KNOW IF ANY OF THE OFFICERS OR PROSECUTORS GOT SOME CHARGES OR ANYTHING?
Only the one DA Jackie Johnson has officially been charged they've got a few police to go after as well as another DA George Barnhill or something like that I forget his last name but he's the one that signed off on the paper work that says he wouldn't be pressing any charges
They all gotta go and trust me Mrs Wanda Cooper- Jones and Marcus Arbery aren't given up until they all face charges are tried in court and sentenced. I salute the parents because we wouldn't have gotten to this point if they didn't do their own research.
@@christopherbob9521 for now only 1 DA. Jackie Johnson has been charged she bailed out day one but the charges aren't going anywhere until she's been to court and then I hope she's convicted now they need go arrest and charge the other DA George Barnhill and the police that allowed this shyt to go on.

Thank GOD for this prosecutor, laying down the LAW in this age of INSANITY.
Amen!
This case went exactly as it should have and our Justice system worked perfectly.
She is so refreshing, clearly she love the Law and the pursuit of justice.
Am I the only one who can't seem to stop watching this? He was so.confident when being questioned by his lawyers. Almost overly confident. What he or his lawyers didn't take into consideration before putting him on the stand, was the brilliance of the Prosecutors. You can physically see the change in his eyes and the moment all confidence dwindles with each question, as she discredits his story and proves his lies with facts and evidence!
You’re not alone…
I have watched this about 20 times
This prosecutor is off the chain. Love it!!
I can’t….
Right, I just skipped an hr and I hear shakiness in the video, more hand motions
I watch almost every day
His dad finally shedded a tear once he was on the stand...because it was then He realized they are done
That's a fact
This is such a simple case as it pertains to Travis McMichael. He chased Arbery, who was running through the neighborhood. Arbery then tried to get away from him and McMichael kept chasing him. McMichael positioned himself in front of Arbery, blocking the road with his truck, and illegally pointed a shotgun at Arbery. Arbery tried to defend himself and McMichael killed him. This is America. So, at no point in time did Arbery ever have an obligation to respond to McMichael's requests to stop, to engage him in conversation, or to interact in any way with McMichael, his dad or the third guy who was chasing him with another truck.
AGREE 100%... LOCK THEM ALL UP
@Jake Smith what crime did Ahmaud commit? 🧐
@Jake Smith go away racist
@Jake Smith Actually he’s a murder.

Coming back to watch this knowing he’s in there for life is absolutely amazing
Yes indeed , he is done and he knows it .
Yup

She slowly gave him enough rope to hang himself on that witness stand
They're going to eat him alive in federal prison. We are looking at the first male inmate that is going to get pregnant. They are going to make him marry his own dad.
This prosecutor was an absolute absolute Beast
His little smiles really get to me. It’s like him and his posse were so sure they were justified. I’m so glad they’re guilty and showing they can’t get away with this!!
Exactly. They felt so sure they were justified & the jury of Their peers would see it the way they say it was.
Ikr, they had no reason to do any of the things they did that day. How about mind your own business I think they both thought they were above the law
I hope he gets locked with some big crazy brother, let’s see how tough he is!!!
@@Mntungwa77 Not happening. They will be housed with white inmates. And he fact that they killed a black man will get them extra respect in prison. Sorry to shatter your dreams but i didn't make it that way, that's just how prison is.
@Fred Freddy 4, actually. Let's not pretend that arbery wasn't a criminal.
The fact that he was trying to justify the murder even after this prosecutor has torn him to pieces. The way she picks his character and lets him dig himself in a deeper whole is impeccable.."you thought you were going to jail didn't you?" His response: NO....Her: you just killed someone and you don't think you're going to jail... Prayers for the Arbrey family.
During sentencing, the Attorneys for all three pretty much flipped, and acknowledged the killers should be punished. Flip flop!!
I think,if it was a state that carries the death penalty,they would have learned their faith.
Problem was Travis took the stand. I think their lawyers were thinking "maybe the white people will have sympathy"
He has to justify it or try to because his life as he knows it will be over if he is found guilty.
@@payneicecold3000 He took that stand and sank everyone along with himself
This is a prosecutor who wants justice and is determined to get it!

God have mercy.
I’m so sorry for the Arbery family, so sorry.
@Ms. Kitty Katt no more hate
I thought the same thing. The nerve of him to say that. “I” let him run. Hopefully that’s one of the statements that sealed his fate.
All the goes through my mind is what Arburys mother must be feeling knowing your child’s last moments were in fear dying in the street. That breaks my heart for her.
Poor Mr. Arbery. This is terrifying. The pain his family is feeling must be immense. Immense. 💔
Privilege he think he got
He lived just 1.8 miles away🥺
@Horacio Spinelli wow, I didn’t know he lived so close. So sad
Tragic, he was a young man. R. I. P Aubrey 🙏😇 he's with the angels now having a great time with family
Horacio he was a nice kid??? He was 25 y o. Had pulled a gun at a basketball game and ran from the cops…I mean jogged away from the cops.. what did he do exactly? Did he have a job? Was he in college or trade school? I’m waiting…
Why don't these fools ever appear to understand they, THEY, make someone else "fear for their life"??
Oh they knew. Because of their privilege and power to open carry guns they felt that they had the authority to do whatever they wanted and law enforcement would back them up. Just like Rittenhouse....using guns to intimidate people. Too bad that they both ended badly. Rittenhouse gets off because he balled profusely in the court room and had a biased judge. These guys aren't ballers and they confronted him instead of the other way around. I hope that they get life.
plea guilty cause you all guilty for murder if you get out this God going to get you
And that was their initial intentions but it backfired!
I think the Rittenhaus case is different. (Canadian btw so not politically biased) the men Kyle shot with a gun also had a gun and/or other weapons and his life was in danger. Kyle should not have had the gun in the first place, but it seems as though he was not expecting to have to use it, and that he wouldn’t have used it if his life wasn’t in danger

He shouldn't have testified but I'm so glad he did.
💯 I was just thinking the same thing.
Thankfully, he's too stupid to realize how he would further incriminate himself.
Right. If I’m his lawyer I’m screaming NOOOO, but as a spectator I’m glad he is. Although I don’t think the prosecution needs it, the judge has ruled you have to have witnessed the crime in order to enact a citizens arrest and they admitted in opening testimony they never witnessed a crime.
@@painandabel571 great observation!
You can't Citizen arrest someone on if but probable core's or maybe this is straight up blatant MURDER that's my opinion .
This man knew the minute she started asking details regarding the video vs what he was saying then going back to the transcript several times to make him read the holes in his story he was done. These guys truly got what they had coming. They lied at the time of the crime, then sit on the stand trying to play the victim. Can't play victim to circumstances you've created yourself. Sad individuals, she is world class. Impressive work by her and her team.
Yeah, her price is going 🆙 ⬆️
Father and son are like two peas in a pod, literally! I wonder if they'll be cell mates now! 🙂
@Ms. Kitty Katt Yes, and now, on the stand, trying desperately to back peddle!
YES SHE AN HER TEAM WAS AWESOME LINDA MOST DEFINITELY UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMEN
My favorite part is 1:49:09 where she notes he could have gone around the back of his truck to follow Arbery, rather than confronting Arbery at the front. Travis says he is afraid Arbery would have tried to get in his open truck door. She says, you're telling this jury that you thought a man who has spent 5 minutes running away from you, wanted to continue to engage with YOU -- a man with a shotgun, and your father who said to stop or I'll blow your effing head off -- by getting into their truck? I love how Travis' smile just disappeared. He knew it made no sense and showed he was lying.

Amazing work. What a Wonderful voice. Thank you
Heartbreaking. Didn’t steal anything and even if he had, these “men” were never entitled to hunt him down and take his life as he defended himself. Even if he had stolen something, it certainly doesn’t warrant false imprisonment and death. Heartbroken for the arbery family
I don't really think they cared about that at all....he could have stole the house if he wasn't black.....they killed him because he is black nothing else

@joalexander8775- Well said! The fact that these knuckleheads were impersonating police officers by demanding him to stop, setting up a road block (i.e. false imprisonment, false detainment), drawn weapons, etc, etc, reveals they are complete lunatics!

"The probable cause was him".Translation, he was black so he probably committed a crime.

Outstanding job by this prosecutor. She brilliantly laid her case out so calm and cool, meticulously picking apart his lies. Notice how she never directly called him out on his lies, but by asking the correct questions and referring to his prior statements and others testimony, she let him be his own undoing. She was playing high level chess in that courtroom.

Prayers for all ..stay safe!
Let…as though he had control of Ahmaud as a person to let or allow him certain actions. To let him run away means that he thought he could tell a told stranger what to do and where to go. The audacity and the racism is glaring in this case! Why didn’t he have this same energy with the white homeless man he suspected that lived under the bridge? He’s a racist bigot, and he’s going to jail.

He killed an innocent man!
@@prettypants08 man I wish the prosecutor had you in the courtroom!! I was praying she would go more into why he felt that he could tell someone to stop or talk to him. I really wanted her to hone in on him being the instigator and ahmaud after being cornered felt the need to defend himself. She did go into it a bit, but I wish she had stayed there a bit more than questioning him about his written statement. I hope she uses her closing arguments to go more into how Ahmaud was chase and gunned down. This trial felt like ahmaud was on trial.
Travis keeps saying how he wanted to "see what was going on". You need a mirror for that to see what you and they are doing to Ahmad.
I just want to kick those glasses off of his face, because they definitely weren't on him while he was hunting down Ahmad, then killing him. I guess he thinks it'll make him look less HOOSIER, which it does NOT. It's giving a dog in glasses; Absolutely unnatural.

Been there done that 💥🔫
I can't believe his attorney let him testify.
🎯🎯🎯
It's up to the defendant if they testify or not the defense lawyers have absolutely no say over it and can only advice whether they should or not. I think if he didn't take the stand it'd be 100% guilty and as the other person said they tried a Risky option as a last resort.
His dad already admitted threatening to blow his MF head off and all sorts. How can you actively pursue and chase someone when you have a loaded weapon and claim self defense it makes no sense, unless you're the police in active duty etc in this instance there was absolutely no reason to follow him and even at that they could have followed and stayed in their vehicles.
