arbery was falsely imprisoned on burford. the indictment alleges the false imprisonment with pickup trucks happened on holmes. the state contends that what you see on the -- that's what the state contends you see on the now famous video. we'll come back to that. there are other several legal principles to review before i move on. i think i discussed this. abandonment is a defense to the charge of false imprisonment. i've been through that so i won't torture you with that again. we're getting there. things i've already covered i'm not going to repeat for you. all right. trying to find -- we've covered that. all right. in count nine roddie bryan is charged with false imprisonment on burford drive. not on holmes. only burford. there are reasons for that but not relevant to this discussion. the court will charge you in order to commit the crime of criminal intent to commit false imprisonment, the state must prove intent to commit false imprisonment. because that's required to be a party to the crime. to prove an attempt which is

all right, let's go ahead and talk about defendant bryan. 307 burford. you've seen the video, i'm not playing it for you again. it's motion activated on the truck. travis mcmichael's white f-15 pickup truck comes in front. driveway decision. this is important, ladies and gentlemen. this is really important. y'all got him?! why is this important? what does this say? mr. bryan, from his porch, can tell that they are chasing and trying to falsely imprison, stop, define -- confine, mr. arbery. he can tell it from his porch. he knows exactly what they're doing. "y'all got him?!" he knows what they're doing. and you know what he chooses to do? his independent, independent own decision, i'm going to go join them to try to stop this guy, confine and detain him. h just joins in. his driveway decision. that is what being a party to the crime is. you go to help some people who are committing some crimes. trying to stop this guy and detain him and confine him. he joined in. "y'all got him?!" he knew exactly what the mcmichaels were doing. what did mr. bryan tell you

claims he didn't cut off ahmaud on burford, did not get out with his shotgun. i don't know, do you believe any of that? told police he got out of his car on holmes a few houses down and told ahmaud to stop. now he says that doesn't happen. i was really confuse preponderance of the evidence what are the coast guard goals? to not escalate but to keep everyone calm and cool. you don't want anything to escalate. then he tells you pull out a shotgun and point it at someone to de-escalate the situation. what are you tacking about? does this logic make any sense to anybody? travis mcmichael never said to the police, i was making an arrest, trying to arrest him for the crime of this? wouldn't that be really important. hey, i was trying to effectuate a citizens arrest for a crime i know he committed. wouldn't that be something you tell the police? never once. never told mr. arbery who was under arrest. never saw i saw him commit the crime of blank today. he didn't because he was on the sofa. never said he was going to hurt my dad or pull him down. never mentioned become
