#CourtTV - “Victim to Verdict with Ted Rowlands” spotlights every moment from the crime scene to the courtroom, tapping into the best of Court TV’s real-time coverage of recent high-profile cases. MORE HERE: www.courttv.com/trials/victim-to-verdict-with-ted-rowlands/?
@bigmic1972 Except it wasn't just one "bad" decision. Roddie Bryan made horrible decision after decision. Specifically the multiple times he tried to run Ahmaud Arbery off the road with his truck and eventually blocking Ahmaud in even after seeing both of the McMichaels were armed.
They thought they had authority over him. Especially since the father was a former police officer. That's how they almost got away with it. I don't even want to think about how he treated the black people he interacted with as a cop.
Even WITH the video, it took Mr Arbery's mother constant pushing, and help from community organisations to get the police to pay any attention. Big surprise, given who the DA was. Exactly the same thing as happened when Courtney Clemmy killed Christian Obumseli. Only Clemmy is just an internet porn girl, not the DA's best buddy. Still even she got to walk away with no charges, and not just leave the state, but fly to Hawaii..for a quick detox before the keystone cops thought to perhaps check her blood. Fortunately the prosecutors on Mr Arbery's case were extraordinary. The lead prosecutor in court was so brilliant, that even watching the entire trial, I didn't understand what she was up to, until she did her Closing. Also fortunately, the Judge was someone of real caliber. Articulate, measured, and who understood how and why this case was so important. The defense attorneys tried so hard to be racially divisive - the jury of 11 white and one African American, white Georgians. The defense attorneys assumed that would mean the whites would be bad people. Assumed that meant they would be racists, like their clients. They weren't. They followed the law. I've noticed that people pick attorneys who are like themselves. Aggressive sexists, pick aggressive sexists. White collar criminals pick...expensive lawyers who often turn out to be criminals (Giuliani, Alina Habba, Borish Epschtyn). The 3 killers in this case, picked lawyers who were willing to behave disgracefully. The woman attorney who represented the elder McMurderer, she had been doing teaching work at a law college before she took on this case. Her position was terminated afterwards.
@@morbidangel2424 The video surly did give Travis McMichael no choice but to testify, and testify honestly. The body cam videos as well strengthened the McMichael's and Bryan's inability to escape justice once the case finally came to the attention of the public and the Georgia governor.

He didn’t just “happen to be black.” They targeted him because he was black. Several whites were seen walking through that construction property on camera, and only Ahmaud was seen as the suspicious one to these killers.

You can tell Ahmaud grew up in a racist society because most people would have run off the road way to get away from the guys who were chasing him, but he knew not to run into someone's yard.
For people who are interested in this case...or even just in superb prosecution..you don't really need to watch the entire trial - though the entire trial is available on TH-cam. There are really 3 parts that catch the most stunning elements. 1. When Travis McMichael takes the stand. You don't even really need to listen to him being "questioned" by his attorney. It is repulsive and very hard to take. But absolutely DO watch the prosecutor question him. It will seem...perplexing. She asks him very simple questions and he repeats the same rehearsed blather that he said when his attorney was asking questions. What she does is, unusual. 2. The Prosecutor's Closing and her rebuttal to the Closings of the three defense attorneys. It is in these two parts of the trial, in which she speaks directly to the jury, that the brilliance of her cross examination of Travis McMichael, the trigger puller, becomes clear. Though I still am stunned at how sure she must have been. What she did, her strategy, which got them all convicted, rested so much upon the replies that Travis McMichael made to her questions, I still am just amazed at how well she understood what he was like, and what he would say. Because she used his OWN defense to convict him. She let him say EXACTLY what he wanted to say. She didn't challenge him. Never sought to catch him out. She just let him talk and talk. And he hanged himself. The way she takes his own words to prove that what they all did was murder, and what's more, that they all knew perfectly well it was murder, and so instantly started lying about it. 3. The Judge's remarks at the sentencing. He spoke so intelligently. He grasped who and what these people were. They and their attorneys went on and on and on about "the crime in our area" which they implied was the justification for the murder, and that it was all "outsiders" coming in to commit crime. The judge pointed out that THEY were responsible for virtually ALL the crime in their neighborhood , as well as far and away the worst. Travis McMichael, in addition to murdering an innocent jogger, pumped shot into the house front and front door of a family with small children. He did it about noon on a Sunday. Precisely when they could all have expected to be home. The family were so horrified, and disgusted by the reaction of many of their neighbors, that they sold their home and moved. Anyway, even if you are not interested in this case and trial for its own reasons, but would like to see some wonderful and powerful legal work in action - and some people showing that the US has great people and legal minds working for public servants wages - watch those 3 trial segments. You will not be disappointed
Yeeeeesss indeedy!! I've watched the ENTIRE trial, & the DA prosecutor AND the judge was ON POINT!!! She was PREPARED for this trial! The judge was also fair throughout the trial, but he really gained my respect when he gave his thoughts in the sentencing of these 3 parasites. And the defense lawyers, especially Bryant's lawyer AND the blonde headed female lawyer for Greg McMichaels.....gave all the racial undertones in their statements....was appalling, ignorant, & disgusting. JUSTICE WAS SERVED!! Now.....when are they gonna have a trial for Jackie Johnson?? Cause she needs to be prosecuted & have her license STRIPPED AND BANNED PERMANENTLY & put in jail for her role in this case!
Easy. Let’s say you were walking down the street and two guys walked up to you, they aren’t arm but have your gun concealed. They demand your wallet, you refuse and they grab a hold of you. In the back of you mind you know you have a concealed weapon and you know if they’re able to wrestle you to the ground there’s a chance your weapon gets seen by one of them and it’s a greater chance they will both over power you and get your weapon and possibly use it on you. At that point you then become scared for your life. Critical thinking is not that difficult
@@ny2379 your “critical thinking” bears ZERO resemblance to this case and no, you didn’t answer the question… which was: How can McMichael fear for his life when he is the one holding the weapon? Ans: He cannot. We all know it. If McMichael did fear, it’s his own fault. His piss poor military skills are showing too. When you hold the weapon, said weapon can always be turned on you. When you hold the weapon, never get within arms reach of the target. McMichael acted idiotically. By his prejudice and racist bias, chasing and confronting Arbery, he forced Ahmaud to fight. Ahmaud was the one fearing for his life.
Awaiting trial because she was charged probably for abuse of power, but I’m not sure. Her attorney is a defense attorney for a defendant on the YSL Young Thug trial in Atlanta. Her day is coming though. Justice will be served.
The first to respond, during the trial stated he was no longer a police officer. The policewoman may or may not still work there/in law enforcement. Honestly, I think she played the part well. She allowed him to tell his story as though she was on his side. When she speaks with another officer, she didn't say they were protecting property and it was self defense. She referred to the murder as murder.
Being a mother to 4 boys, i totally get it as far as them having dirty un-clipped fingernails and toenails. That totally broke my heart at the end. The audacity of the defense attorney saying anything like that about the victim. My heart aches for this mother! Also, I knew racism still exists today. But, my jaw dropped seeing it in the courtroom! That is just unacceptable!
this makes me so sick. the horror of his last minutes. he probably could only think of how all these ppl around him couldn't muster up an ounce of humanity.
The fact that Travis got on the stand to give his “side of the story,” is greater proof to me of the detachment and privilege of people like him, all around the world. He clearly didn’t take into account the fact that Ahmad’s interaction with him stemmed from him being chased down for MINUTES, by individuals he didn’t know, who clearly posed a threat to his life. And Ahmad was right. Ahmad had every right to stand his ground and fight for his life.
@@ABrooksCupid Travis McMichael and all the defense lawyers clearly were banking on just one of the jurors to empathize with the murderers. All it would have taken was one. Some really disgusting things came out of their mouths in search of that one juror.
Wow, you can just look at these hillbillies & KNOW what ignorant things they are going to say. Just makes me sick. If they weren’t so ignorant & racist they can see Ahmaud was JOGGING NOT RUNNING. I wish Ahmaud Would have stopped & asked the shooter what the hec they wanted, why are they chasing him, but their actions were just so wrong & sick to me & Im glad the jury saw the reality of what these pos did. I can only ask the Lord to grant Ahmaud’s family & friends peace & love. 🙏❤️✝️
I think what’s more disturbing is had the lawyer not sent out that video this case would have been thrown under the rug because the prosecutor is a criminal and still hasn’t been to court she needs to be charged
To be fair, Roddy Bryant knows the two men, so I’m sure he thought that they were following Ahmad legitimately. I bet he wishes he stayed home, kept his beak out of it.
Had a black gentleman snooping around a home I was building. I confronted him and told not to come back. Pulling a gun like these guys did is crazy and uncalled for especially if the individual is not brandishing a weapon and also running away.
Exactly Soo many entered. Only Ahmaud was hunted and shot 3 times until he knew he was injured enough to die. As the judge said they turned and walked away. No one went to him in his dying moments.
This case still bothers me. Jackie Johnson is still walking free. This murder trial was the one trial that got me interested in true crime. I watched the trial live every day, my very first time doing that. Something jaw-dropping happened every day of that trial-from Bryan’s lawyer making racist requests and trying to declare a mistrial nearly every day, to one lawyer commenting on Ahmaud’s long, dirty toenails, and all the neighbor witnesses and police witnesses who testified to the crazy things that happened either on the day of the murder or in the weeks leading up to it. Insanity.
@@ABrooksCupid Most certainly! Her excuse for not being able to go to trial was that her lawyer, Brian Steel, was busy with the "Young Thug" trial. I don't know how that makes sense because any of us would have to find an available lawyer but... At any rate, now that Brian Steel's client has made a plea deal, surly he will be free very soon to accompany Jackie Johnson to court.
And now your son got yo grow up without you should have thought about his son and stayed at the house with his son and told his dad leave that man alone
So heartbreaking & disturbing. No words💔 He had no obligation to stop at their request.They say that like that is justification for their horrific actions. Of course Ahmaud was afraid, he was being hunted; followed by a car only to come to an occupied truck parked in the road and a gun hanging out.
This was one of the sickest most vile hateful murders I've seen in my life! They hunted this poor young man down horrificly...I've never had sooo much hate in me as I have against these 3 Devils in my life!
This had me crying and crying ,that poor young man ,he was terrified Im sure and these monster hunted him down and brutally murdered him ,they should all rot in prison .
Mr English ONLY reported people coming onto the property, because he was concerned about his legal liability should someone hurt themselves on the property. The kind of concern which is a big element of all homeowners insurance matters. It's America, people are incredibly litigious and he didn't want to get himself involved in 5 years of court cases, and hugely increased premiums. That was ALL he cared about. ALL.
People, seemingly Travis, were stealing Mr. English's boating equipment, etc. It was clearly the neighbors, plus Mr. English stated that his contractors may have stolen some equipment or tools as well. That's when he put the cameras up.
My heart just filled up with saddness as i think about Ahmad last few minutes. I know he was scared I just cant imagine the fear that was running threw him😢. However he didnt let them break him he tried is best to fight his way out of the horrible situation. I hope the young man soul is resting in peace. I hope his family is doing their best. I know this is a tradgy and its something that they will nevet get over especially his parents but I hope some peace have come there way.
.....and PLEASE, not only his fear of those pri.cks, but the fear from pain, the fear from being LEFT to die in that manner, the fear from wondering if you might be saved.....😢😢😢😢😢😢
How do u chase sth that is a threat 2 u ? Did police advise the McMichaels to persue the young man with a loaded gun ? This was a case of father trying to tolerate his son's ego and misbehaviour ? "U r not putting him in handcuffs" who did he think he is ? Sadly the cops complied with a crook. 😡
His mom just told us why he was in the house and it all makes sense. He was studying to be an electrician. Notice when he’s in the house looking around not taking or damaging anything.
It's a heartbreaking story, that must be told, of a innocent man jogging ends up fighting to save his life before it was cut short so tragically that fateful day.
They didn’t want him to live. They mindset was shoot to kill. They felt like hero’s. That’s why Travis had the mitigated gall to get up on the stand and claim self defense and had no grounds to stand after starting a murderr.
They were pretty bad ass - I wonder what they're doing now - I wish a camera crew could go in and show us and whatever happened with that DA Jackie Johnson was her name?
This is heartbreaking!! I 'm going through a similar situation in Macon Ga (Bibb County). Multiple deputies tased and killed my schizophrenic son while in their custody and at one point while he was handcuffed! He was arrested for criminal trespassing. The GBI has ruled my son's death a homicide, but the deputies have not been arrested and Sheriff David Davis, or the DA won't allow our family to view the camera footage, or body camera. They won't even release information to our attorneys! They killed my son and now it feels like they are mentally abusing our family, and protecting the deputies!! I am beyond frustrated! We deserve to know exactly what happened to him and who killed him!! It's on camera so they should RELEASE THE FOOTAGE!! This happened 5/25/24 and we're still waiting to see the camera footage. It seems like the legal system in Bibb county are too busy covering each others backs, and aren't concerned about the victims family.
Court tv you should be ashamed of yourself. You conveniently omitted that Travis moved to the left side of the truck when Armad tried to avoid him by going around the truck. This makes it seem like armad was the aggressor when he wasn’t. Even when you try to make a documentary to do good you can’t help but sprinkle your micro racism of yours in there. Shame on you
I believe Bryant also had a gun. Why would Ahmaud have changed directions when Bryant's truck cornered him if Bryant had no gun. Clearly the Mcmichaels BOTH had guns. For 72 days NOONE was arrested, WHY?!
B COP “ I can only imagine “ wow A civilian telling you he chased a man down and Mur.. him because he didn’t listen to you “ if he would’ve just stopped “ what in the absolute F !!!!!!
No matter what happened here. Let’s not forget 1 thing. It’s definitely not ok to just walk onto and into someone’s property in this country. Because you can defend your property with force in this country. Period. 🇺🇸
The fact that you think he got shot walking onto people's property is what's wrong with this country. Ahmaud got shot because he was black, and he did not get shot by the property owner. He got shot by racist men with hate and anger in their hearts. Your logic and way of thinking implies that everyone who walked into that property without permission got shot, which we know didn't happen. Only the black man got shot. FYI, Travis went onto that property without the owner, Mr. English, giving the permission to do so multiple times. Mr. English, the owner, never met or spoke with Travis and/or his dad, so he never gave them permission to go onto his property, but they did anyways. So why didn't they get shot. Travis and his father had about the same right as you and I defending that property and that is no right. They don't even own any property in that street. They were renting.
And this is the problem. Believing you can kill someone for next to nothing. Wasn’t even their property. You heard what the judge said. Stop assuming the worse about ppl who don’t look like you. Stop thinking you can take the law into your own hands. Mr. English said he never took anything and was already monitoring the cameras.
Whenever you find pain, misery and horrific events done by human beings. Then you'll always find guys like Ted Rowlands & Vinnie Politan close nearby to make sure they can exploit the victims as much as possible and make as much money as possible from it. It's a sick world we live in when people like that get rewarded😮😮
She only had 3 children . And she owned her house . The cop and coast guard people were renting. The Daughter has a Bachelors Degree and 2 Masters Degrees. Travis has a go fund me and I read the picture taker sister has a DUI arrest. But ok you win
I believe the coroner said the first shot was fatal. He would of died regardless. He fought back because of the “fight or flight” one feels in that situation. Adrenaline is a major contributor to his ability to fight with such a devastating wound. Rip. Very sad. He tried very hard to save his life and get away.
@@DMANN007 Yes, Ahmaud Arbery likely would have died even if aid was given immediately. But at the very damn least the McMichaels should have rendered HUMAN comfort as soon as they realized that he was not in any way armed. (Not that I believe they really thought he was armed.)

He tried to help but the others just watched
He was deceased.
I’m so confused…. How are you the one armed & “dangerous “ yet scared for your life 😂😂😂😂. Those men literally make me sick to my stomach
Easy. Let’s say you were walking down the street and two guys walked up to you, they aren’t arm but have your gun concealed. They demand your wallet, you refuse and they grab a hold of you. In the back of you mind you know you have a concealed weapon and you know if they’re able to wrestle you to the ground there’s a chance your weapon gets seen by one of them and it’s a greater chance they will both over power you and get your weapon and possibly use it on you. At that point you then become scared for your life. Critical thinking is not that difficult
@@ny2379 your “critical thinking” bears ZERO resemblance to this case and no, you didn’t answer the question… which was:
How can McMichael fear for his life when he is the one holding the weapon?
Ans: He cannot. We all know it. If McMichael did fear, it’s his own fault. His piss poor military skills are showing too. When you hold the weapon, said weapon can always be turned on you. When you hold the weapon, never get within arms reach of the target. McMichael acted idiotically. By his prejudice and racist bias, chasing and confronting Arbery, he forced Ahmaud to fight. Ahmaud was the one fearing for his life.
@@ny2379just pray I won’t meet you in the streets
Where is Jackie Johnson the Ex DA??? Who covered this up??
Awaiting trial because she was charged probably for abuse of power, but I’m not sure. Her attorney is a defense attorney for a defendant on the YSL Young Thug trial in Atlanta. Her day is coming though. Justice will be served.
Cover up at the highest levels of government
How many cases like this over the years have there been with zero questions asked?
Emmit Till got murdered at 14 years old for speaking to a store clerk (white) in Mississippi
This is sickening on so many levels. What happened to the officers who responded and “calmed “ the shooters, yet didn’t render aid to the victim?
The first to respond, during the trial stated he was no longer a police officer. The policewoman may or may not still work there/in law enforcement. Honestly, I think she played the part well. She allowed him to tell his story as though she was on his side. When she speaks with another officer, she didn't say they were protecting property and it was self defense. She referred to the murder as murder.
Being a mother to 4 boys, i totally get it as far as them having dirty un-clipped fingernails and toenails. That totally broke my heart at the end. The audacity of the defense attorney saying anything like that about the victim. My heart aches for this mother! Also, I knew racism still exists today. But, my jaw dropped seeing it in the courtroom! That is just unacceptable!
So Travis thought that taking the stand would convince us that he killed Ahmaud in self defence? Thank God for the stupid I say!
This is the absolute best coverage of the Ahmaud Arbery case that I have seen Thank you.
@@janestreet2634 that’s what you wanted to hear
@@holguensphilippe9687 Yes. They provided excellent coverage of what happened to this young man with facts from start to finish.
@@holguensphilippe9687 Not to mention, his mother is sitting right there… she approved this coverage.
That baby laying there like a Dog! No comfort nothing 🤬
Baby? Dude was a full grown lowlife. Plz
this makes me so sick. the horror of his last minutes. he probably could only think of how all these ppl around him couldn't muster up an ounce of humanity.
The fact that Travis got on the stand to give his “side of the story,” is greater proof to me of the detachment and privilege of people like him, all around the world.
He clearly didn’t take into account the fact that Ahmad’s interaction with him stemmed from him being chased down for MINUTES, by individuals he didn’t know, who clearly posed a threat to his life. And Ahmad was right.
Ahmad had every right to stand his ground and fight for his life.
The jury was majority white: one black juror. He probably thought they would empathize with him.
@@ABrooksCupid Travis McMichael and all the defense lawyers clearly were banking on just one of the jurors to empathize with the murderers. All it would have taken was one. Some really disgusting things came out of their mouths in search of that one juror.
I wonder if they get it by now or do they think they are still justified in behaving the way that they did?🤔
No, rednecks are never wrong. That is the message they are still telling themselves.
That punk is in prison for life today
The deep racism in the US still shocks me! 🌿🕊
Right! I’m reminded you reap what you sow. You can be racism all you want but your time is coming back around
Wow, you can just look at these hillbillies & KNOW what ignorant things they are going to say. Just makes me sick. If they weren’t so ignorant & racist they can see Ahmaud was JOGGING NOT RUNNING. I wish Ahmaud Would have stopped & asked the shooter what the hec they wanted, why are they chasing him, but their actions were just so wrong & sick to me & Im glad the jury saw the reality of what these pos did. I can only ask the Lord to grant Ahmaud’s family & friends peace & love. 🙏❤️✝️
And to lie and say he was struck first. Lies. You shot, was struck (apparently not hard enough) and you shot two more times.
Didnt anybody have the simple conciousnnes to call an Ambulance
Nope they didn't care. The female cop was concerned about getting him water
“I just need to know what is he doing wrong” couldn’t answer. Well that’s your first clue.
I think what’s more disturbing is had the lawyer not sent out that video this case would have been thrown under the rug because the prosecutor is a criminal and still hasn’t been to court she needs to be charged
This still hurts 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
:( can’t believe it’s been a few years :(
You mean the "mc-killers
*McMurderers
Yes McMurderers like Linda said ❤
To be fair, Roddy Bryant knows the two men, so I’m sure he thought that they were following Ahmad legitimately. I bet he wishes he stayed home, kept his beak out of it.
It doesn’t matter if he knew them or not you can’t trap that man….what exactly is there to be fair about?!
I'm sure they all wish they weren't racist and stayed home. The audacity to think someone has to stop and speak to you is absurd.
Rip Justice was served for Aubrey
They weren't home owners 😂 Renting 😂
And his mother own a home couple blocks over! Crazy
@All4My2 What the Heck😀
Had a black gentleman snooping around a home I was building. I confronted him and told not to come back. Pulling a gun like these guys did is crazy and uncalled for especially if the individual is not brandishing a weapon and also running away.
And this wasn’t their house, so they didn’t even need to do that.
You sound like a racist especially when you made sure we knew he was BLACK
Exactly
Soo many entered. Only Ahmaud was hunted and shot 3 times until he knew he was injured enough to die. As the judge said they turned and walked away. No one went to him in his dying moments.
Why the police not in jail especially the lady cop
Watch for the trial of the DA, Jackie Johnson, set for January 21. Apparently her misconduct covered up the murder.
This case still bothers me. Jackie Johnson is still walking free. This murder trial was the one trial that got me interested in true crime. I watched the trial live every day, my very first time doing that. Something jaw-dropping happened every day of that trial-from Bryan’s lawyer making racist requests and trying to declare a mistrial nearly every day, to one lawyer commenting on Ahmaud’s long, dirty toenails, and all the neighbor witnesses and police witnesses who testified to the crazy things that happened either on the day of the murder or in the weeks leading up to it. Insanity.
Jackie Johnson definitely needs to be held accountable!
I believe she's still awaiting trial.
@@ABrooksCupid Most certainly! Her excuse for not being able to go to trial was that her lawyer, Brian Steel, was busy with the "Young Thug" trial. I don't know how that makes sense because any of us would have to find an available lawyer but... At any rate, now that Brian Steel's client has made a plea deal, surly he will be free very soon to accompany Jackie Johnson to court.
@@ABrooksCupid Wow.. Jackie Johnson's trial is set for January 21!!!
THE LAWYERS WERE KNOWN KLAN LAWYERS
This is so sickening no matter how many times you see it.
George Floyd murder was horrible… but this case hit me different. This was just DISGUSTING.
And now your son got yo grow up without you should have thought about his son and stayed at the house with his son and told his dad leave that man alone
Ahmad saw the Confederate flag on the license plate of this racist murder 😢😢😢 truck chasing him 😢😢😢 Ahmad had to FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE RIP BROTHER
I'm white and I would run if I saw that coming at me
Mmmmmm what a shame that the DA company worked like that
"If he would have stopped this wouldn't have happened" That is complete insanity.
Yea stop lying!! You all shot that man on purpose. Wrong and unprofessional the way the whole situation was handled.
So heartbreaking & disturbing. No words💔 He had no obligation to stop at their request.They say that like that is justification for their horrific actions. Of course
Ahmaud was afraid, he was being hunted; followed by a car only to come to an occupied truck parked in the road and a gun hanging out.
THIS STILL pisses me OFF! THAT VIDEO! 😡😡😡
This was one of the sickest most vile hateful murders I've seen in my life! They hunted this poor young man down horrificly...I've never had sooo much hate in me as I have against these 3 Devils in my life!
My jaw dropped when the female officer said " no! ,no why would he be in handcuffs"
Why would anyone be in handcuffs?
Just sick and sad. Will America ever change?
@@susiekathryn8570 unfortunately, no it probably won’t. Its systems have been working too well for too long for too many to really change things.
@@susiekathryn8570 No.
No
It will only get worse with the new administration
My faith in the justice system was givin a little hope the day these 3 were found guilty, then when rather were sentenced. May God forgive them.
This had me crying and crying ,that poor young man ,he was terrified Im sure and these monster hunted him down and brutally murdered him ,they should all rot in prison .
Mr English ONLY reported people coming onto the property, because he was concerned about his legal liability should someone hurt themselves on the property. The kind of concern which is a big element of all homeowners insurance matters. It's America, people are incredibly litigious and he didn't want to get himself involved in 5 years of court cases, and hugely increased premiums.
That was ALL he cared about. ALL.
People, seemingly Travis, were stealing Mr. English's boating equipment, etc. It was clearly the neighbors, plus Mr. English stated that his contractors may have stolen some equipment or tools as well. That's when he put the cameras up.
Facts. He actually said he had no problem with people looking inside which a lot of people did do.
I can only imagine the terror Ahmaud felt. There was no reason for them to chase him.
I am still disturbed by this case... 😢
This case is never far from my mind. Whoever leaked that video is the only reason they were convicted.
America, ladies and gentlemen
Always has been a racist country
Murica
Whites StupId
Ok Court TV seems like you're saying it was OK for this to happen by your narration
I bet they watched News Nation continuously.. 😒
This case is really heartbreaking. Makes you wonder what year they think they’re living in. Infuriating that they almost got away with it.
My heart just filled up with saddness as i think about Ahmad last few minutes. I know he was scared I just cant imagine the fear that was running threw him😢. However he didnt let them break him he tried is best to fight his way out of the horrible situation. I hope the young man soul is resting in peace. I hope his family is doing their best. I know this is a tradgy and its something that they will nevet get over especially his parents but I hope some peace have come there way.
.....and PLEASE, not only his fear of those pri.cks, but the fear from pain, the fear from being LEFT to die in that manner, the fear from wondering if you might be saved.....😢😢😢😢😢😢
Rest in Peace Ahmaud Arbery 🙏🏾 I still remember after all this time …and will never forget what happened to you 💔
I don't understand the racist thing. But then thankfully I'm not American
Racism is a mental illness
The whole world is racist to Black people. Please don’t try that.
@@brownsugako7772yet not everyone in the world is racist against black people.
I’m American, and I could never comprehend this kind of hate. These people are vile
Racism is not just an American thing. Ask black people in your/another country and you may change your mind.
I’m disgusted by what those men did to Mr Arbery. 🤦♀️🤦♀️😢😢🙏🙏
How do u chase sth that is a threat 2 u ?
Did police advise the McMichaels to persue the young man with a loaded gun ?
This was a case of father trying to tolerate his son's ego and misbehaviour ? "U r not putting him in handcuffs" who did he think he is ? Sadly the cops complied with a crook. 😡
The responding police and Jackie shouldve all been held responsible also. This is disgusting.
His mom just told us why he was in the house and it all makes sense. He was studying to be an electrician. Notice when he’s in the house looking around not taking or damaging anything.
This is heartbreaking and I hope he as well as his family gets the justice they deserve!! 🙏🏼
It's a heartbreaking story, that must be told, of a innocent man jogging ends up fighting to save his life before it was cut short so tragically that fateful day.
Driveway decision and assumptions got them life.
They didn’t want him to live. They mindset was shoot to kill. They felt like hero’s. That’s why Travis had the mitigated gall to get up on the stand and claim self defense and had no grounds to stand after starting a murderr.
They were pretty bad ass - I wonder what they're doing now - I wish a camera crew could go in and show us and whatever happened with that DA Jackie Johnson was her name?
Jackie Johnson's trial is set for January 21.
Unbelievable!
Such a sad and senseless act of hate. I will never forget this case. How this effected the world and changed us forever.
This is heartbreaking!! I 'm going through a similar situation in Macon Ga (Bibb County). Multiple deputies tased and killed my schizophrenic son while in their custody and at one point while he was handcuffed! He was arrested for criminal trespassing. The GBI has ruled my son's death a homicide, but the deputies have not been arrested and Sheriff David Davis, or the DA won't allow our family to view the camera footage, or body camera. They won't even release information to our attorneys! They killed my son and now it feels like they are mentally abusing our family, and protecting the deputies!! I am beyond frustrated! We deserve to know exactly what happened to him and who killed him!! It's on camera so they should RELEASE THE FOOTAGE!! This happened 5/25/24 and we're still waiting to see the camera footage. It seems like the legal system in Bibb county are too busy covering each others backs, and aren't concerned about the victims family.
Court tv you should be ashamed of yourself. You conveniently omitted that Travis moved to the left side of the truck when Armad tried to avoid him by going around the truck. This makes it seem like armad was the aggressor when he wasn’t. Even when you try to make a documentary to do good you can’t help but sprinkle your micro racism of yours in there. Shame on you
I believe Bryant also had a gun. Why would Ahmaud have changed directions when Bryant's truck cornered him if Bryant had no gun. Clearly the Mcmichaels BOTH had guns. For 72 days NOONE was arrested, WHY?!
B COP “ I can only imagine “ wow
A civilian telling you he chased a man down and Mur.. him because he didn’t listen to you
“ if he would’ve just stopped “ what in the absolute F !!!!!!
They still have a social media page talking about "justice for the mcmichaels"
America..
Thank you Rody Bryant. If he had never posted the video they would gave gotten away with it.
This is what happens when fox news meets courttv and has a baby
Just bc someone says stop I want to talk does not mean someone has to stop and talk. WTH.
The fact that they were allowed to live after the murder says a lot about the family
No it’s that whole entire area!
I kno it has to be hard for anyone related to him to watch this!!
No matter what happened here. Let’s not forget 1 thing. It’s definitely not ok to just walk onto and into someone’s property in this country. Because you can defend your property with force in this country. Period. 🇺🇸
The fact that you think he got shot walking onto people's property is what's wrong with this country. Ahmaud got shot because he was black, and he did not get shot by the property owner. He got shot by racist men with hate and anger in their hearts. Your logic and way of thinking implies that everyone who walked into that property without permission got shot, which we know didn't happen. Only the black man got shot. FYI, Travis went onto that property without the owner, Mr. English, giving the permission to do so multiple times. Mr. English, the owner, never met or spoke with Travis and/or his dad, so he never gave them permission to go onto his property, but they did anyways. So why didn't they get shot. Travis and his father had about the same right as you and I defending that property and that is no right. They don't even own any property in that street. They were renting.
🤡 period.
@PinstripePride85 You toopid. Period.
And this is the problem. Believing you can kill someone for next to nothing. Wasn’t even their property. You heard what the judge said. Stop assuming the worse about ppl who don’t look like you. Stop thinking you can take the law into your own hands. Mr. English said he never took anything and was already monitoring the cameras.
@@PinstripePride85 and get life in prison.
Whenever you find pain, misery and horrific events done by human beings. Then you'll always find guys like Ted Rowlands & Vinnie Politan close nearby to make sure they can exploit the victims as much as possible and make as much money as possible from it. It's a sick world we live in when people like that get rewarded😮😮
This story is sad
All I Care about is how is Prison Life Going ❓ Why don't you Follow These Evil MONSTERS ⁉️🤔
After They are CHARGED ❓
This was awful, they hunted him down like prey and I can be racist so that’s saying something.

Why did you need to tell us that this made you cry? 🙄
Man this makes my blood boil
I think he probably would have lived if they rendered first aid. He was young and was a runner.
I believe the coroner said the first shot was fatal. He would of died regardless. He fought back because of the “fight or flight” one feels in that situation. Adrenaline is a major contributor to his ability to fight with such a devastating wound. Rip. Very sad. He tried very hard to save his life and get away.
@@DMANN007 ok. Thanks for the clarification
somehow no evidence was found of him running past the 400 street cameras
@LegendLength yeah then his mom must have lied when she said he loved jogging and played football in high school 🙄
@@DMANN007 Yes, Ahmaud Arbery likely would have died even if aid was given immediately. But at the very damn least the McMichaels should have rendered HUMAN comfort as soon as they realized that he was not in any way armed. (Not that I believe they really thought he was armed.)
