Defense gives opening statement in Ahmaud Arbery death trial

1. I'm back after hearing the prosecution say that this opening statement helped them find the direction that they were going to take to take them down. Great job to the prosecution team.

2. I only have 3 words:
   Relevancy, Your Honor. 🤷🏾‍♂️

3. Pulling stuff out his ass

4. I’m sick of property crime, but chasing people is NOT the answer.

5. You know when their lying their mouth is moving.

6. It gets me how they are playing on people’s fears. So sad

7. The worlds worst opening defense. Pathetic

8. The defense lawyer is lying and should be held in contempt for fabricating in creating misleading events that were not true at all there was two shots fired before he could reach the defendant. By that time the victim was already fatally injured fighting over the gun and then there was another blast the man was shot three times by three men with three big trucks and they cut him off and trap the man and the man stole nothing at all and the man wasn't even on so the lawyer is a liar and should be held in jail for contempt for lying in court I rest my case

9. You don't trust PowerPoint?

10. Henry Winkler did a awesome job of defending (the white victims)…👍🏼

11. Driveway Assumptions.

12. I wonder if they will show arburys arrest mug shot on the media for carrying a gun to school.

13. Guilty

14. After reading reports of defense opening statements, something occurred to me.
    Gregory forgot that he is no longer a cop, one who can detain on suspicion.
    Travis forgot he is no longer a Coast Guard boarding officer, one who can use a weapon as a "de-escalation tactic".
    They forgot and let their imaginations carry them away.

15. Defense has nothing to defend. It was a lynching. Period. All 3 will spend the rest of their lives in jail.

16. Didn't actually send around the video of the two white people that the owner actually thought stole his property from his boat… not the abandoned house.

17. The idea that the "victim" was just jogging is a joke, he got caught trying to commit a crime and tried to get away when he realized he couldn't get away, he attacked the men and got shot. It's very simple

18. If the neighborhood is nervous then shoot the person while breaking into ur car…this guy wasn’t committing a crime

19. People defending Arbery answer me this: if the McMichaels really wanted to kill ahmaud then why did they wait until he was trying to grab their gun?

    I'm a minority myself and WE HAVE to stick to the factual and evidential information here. THIS IS NOT ABOUT RACE. This is about a man who was self defending himself bc a thief couldn't control his anger and he reacted violently bc he knew he got caught red handed!!!!!

20. In memoriam of Ahmaud Arbery – RIP – from France in Solidarity the song „8:46 at Les Combes“ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON5Km6S8HHA

21. Ahmaud Arbery own fault end.

22. How does a lawyer like this sleep at night?

23. The defense's job is to concoct a self defense/citizen's arrest story that matches all the stories they volunteered on video after the shooting. That he ran towards them, he tried to get into one of the trucks, that all they said was 'we just wanna talk to you' when they actually told police they said, 'stop or we'll blow your #@&%king head off'. The formation of 'malice'. In other words matching their all the lies they volunteered after the fact. The police in that little town never questioned their version of events and closed the case. Until, the video came out. The truth now as it is throughout history a powerful force. Racist people are constantly running from the truth like a vampire from sunlight.

24. Guy lost me 5 seconds in when he said he doesn’t trust power point. Lol did he really say it’s the kind of neighborhood that people walk or play or maybe jog in the day light. There was one car that was broken into to. So that gives these clowns to play cops. Come on don’t make him a hero to put his life on the line to stop a trespasser. If there was so much time why wasn’t there more of a police presents. It’s just sad they whole thing.

25. Never understood how people can defend racist murderers and sleep at night!!

26. It's the McMichael Bryan Trial

27. Jesus Christ saves from sin.

    For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

    And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
    Isaiah 64: 6
    But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
    Revelation 21: 8
    But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
    Romans 5: 8
    But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

    Romans 10: 9-10.
    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
    For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
    Jesus said John 5: 24
    Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
    1John 5: 10-13
    He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
    And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
    He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
    These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
    Ephesians 2: 8-9
    For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
    Not of works, lest any man should boast.

    There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
    1 Corinthians 15: 3-4
    For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
    And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
    2 Corinthians 5: 21
    For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

28. What was he going to steal no backpack no ID nothing to take things with I don’t understand the rationale. They killed this man because they wanted to. They killed this man because they wanted to intimidate and on armed black man. Shame on them shame on whoever feel that these men are not guilty. They need to be thrown under the jail. They had no right to take that man’s life and I hope that they all get life in prison.

29. If you still think this a case of a innocent black man jogging for exercise than you have not been paying attention. Caulk this up as another race-baiting fake news innocent.

30. This is a good neighborhood quiet safe neighborhood what he trying to say is a white neighborhood black people shouldn't be breathing all that good white air- Clayton bixby(chapelle show)

31. The biblical lost tribe of Juda is not your prey anymore. GUILTY.

32. Let’s go Brandon…,.f

33. arbery was a convicted thief. he wasnt out for a "jog". he was 5 finger discount shopping… and got caught, then fled. then compounded his stupidity by grabbing a shotgun , by the barrel, from the man telling him to stop. That was when he got shot. Not while fleeing. but while wrestling for a loaded weapon. Self defense. end of story.

34. They were effecting a citizen's arrest; the dad was already on the phone with the cops. But Arbery panicked and tried to wrestle the shotgun away. Tragedy, but NOT GUILTY.

35. What bullshit, these guys had no legal right to attempt any confrontation with Ahmaud. THEY discredit to my race and deserve prison or loss of their life.

36. Defense opening at 1:51, and I’m like what? I don’t think so. That is not the attitude of these men. They were NOT trying to defend their neighborhood. They were looking to intimidate an unarmed black man who thought it was ok to jog through this neighborhood on a beautiful day.

37. There is no defense for such an indefensible act

38. It's a tragedy, but once you grab someone's gun, you're asking for it. It was a citizen's arrest, which was legal.

39. There are a boatload of racist jerks in this comment section. I am disgusted and embarrassed by my countrymen.

40. Also the reason the defense is using a low-tech map he wants to minimize the area and make the jury struggle to see or make sense of the area. Oh he says he doesn't like PowerPoint yeah right, cause it will give u an accurate overview of the area and the ditch the defendants ran Ahmad into trapping him
    Remember that.

41. This is clearly murder, those three disgusting individuals will be found guilty and hopefully at least one will get life in prison, in general population.
