there will be likely a difference because roddie bryant doesn't face the same as gregory because of theapping charges. that is what the jury has already decided upon, so we are eagerly awaiting their verdict with the families. the wife of gregory mcmichael was in the courtroom for closing arguments. she just arrived at the cr courthouse now. we expect to see his family members and supporters that have been in this trial since the beginning, since jury selection. we spoke with his aunt just last night who said that this is just painful for their family to have to just wait. they can't sleep, they can't eat. just waiting to hear the fate. but she believes they will get a guilty verdict, guilty on all counts for all three men just like what we saw in the state trial and she believes that ahmaud is watching and knows that everyone is watching this case. of course, tomorrow, bianna, is the two year mark since the death of ahmaud arbery, since his murder. there will be memorial services here in brunswick, georgia, and the atlanta area but all eyes on this courtroom behind me waiting to hear w
