Defense Attorney Argues Ahmaud Arbery Was Responsible For His Own Death

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Ahmaud Arbery was ultimately responsible for his own death, a lawyer for one of the men charged with his murder argued in court on Friday. The explosive claim came as the defense rested its case, setting closing arguments for Monday in the high-profile trial over a killing that sparked national outrage last year.

William Bryan is charged with felony murder for participating in the chase that led to Arbery being shot to death in February 2020 by Travis McMichael, who is also facing felony murder charges along with his father, Gregory McMichael.

Bryan’s lawyer, Kevin Gough, attempted Friday to separate his client from the McMichaels in the criminal charges to be considered by the jury likely sometime next week. In doing so, he at several points argued that not only was his client not responsible for Arbery’s death, but that the 25-year-old Black man who was chased through a Georgia neighborhood bore the ultimate blame.

Gough said Arbery had a “last chance” to avoid Bryan’s truck, which the men used to chase Arbery during the encounter.

1. I saw that earlier today I could not believe

That was the same guy that was talking about black pastors at the trial..... shows his true colors along with his clients. This lawyer seems to me like he would join in the lynching

4. That same lawyer?

Today he also said the black protesters were making the trial into a "lynching."

That lawyer needs to be disbarred.

2. It was his fault for being black in a Southern state.

3. I saw that one of the defense lawyers said...

He said that the black protesters OUTSIDE were making the trial into a "lynching."

Arbery was lynched.
Not the defendants.

5. That's really all they have left.

They already admitted that he wasn't a threat.

6. Of course he said that.

A black man didn't bow and scrape to three white men, so he got himself killed. Must obey the authority of white skin.

Disgusting piece of shit.

7. All this

8. So he is supposed to outrun a truck?

9. Arrgh! Here we go again, victim blaming!

I am just waiting for their white male tears moment.

10. And, in that other case, the killer was not responsible for the deaths
