Ahmaud Arbery death trial live updates: 3 found guilty of murder

Prosecutor Linda Dunikoski began her rebuttal argument by telling the jury she wants to make sure "we are on the same page as far as the facts and the law goes."

She said the law requires "a fair-minded and impartial juror to honestly seek the truth."

"In other words, do you think they committed the crimes? That's all you need. Oh, if you go, 'Yeah, I think they committed the crimes, you're good. That's all you need."

Dunikoski's statement prompted objections from the defense attorneys that she was misstating the law. Judge Timothy Walmsley told the jury he will instruct them on the law once Dunikoski is finished.

The prosecutor then told the jury that "ignorance of the law is no excuse."

"If you're going to take the law into your own hands, you better know what the law is," Dunikoski said, referring to the laws of self-defense and citizen's arrests that the defendants are claiming.

"The state is not saying that Greg and Travis McMichael ran out of their house to go murder him," Dunikoski said. "It started out as one thing and it escalated and it escalated until it became murder."

After Kevin Gough, the attorney for William "Roddie" Bryan, wrapped up his closing argument, Dunikoski informed the judge that she'd need another two hours to present her rebuttal argument.

Judge Walmsley polled the jury and they said they didn't want to stay longer.

Dunikoski will present her rebuttal argument on Tuesday morning before the jury is given final instructions on the law and sent to begin deliberations.

Court will resume at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, about a half-hour earlier than usual.

Gough took the jury almost frame-by-frame through Bryan's cellphone video of the shooting. Stopping and starting the footage, he pointed out that Bryan at one point was only driving 2 mph during the chase of Arbery, that his leg was shaking and his breathing was labored due to fear.

He said at another point in the video that Bryan is heard saying "I'm gonna keep going." Gough suggested that Bryan was giving up the pursuit and heading home after Arbery had run past his truck followed by the McMichaels.

Gough showed the jury a part of the video in which Bryan appears to be driving in the opposite direction of Arbery before turning around and taking a shorter route toward his home only to find himself in a position to document the shooting.

"I'm going to suggest to you that perhaps, and I know I'll get grief for this, I would say to you that you can call it karma, you can call it fate, I would call it divine providence, somebody is guiding Mr. Bryan," Gough said. "Whether it's a conscious thought process or not, something is guiding Mr. Bryan down this street to document what's going on."

William "Roddie" Bryan's attorney, Kevin Gough, began his summation by telling the jury that his client never knew the McMichaels brought guns to chase Arbery or that he was aware that Travis McMichaels was going to shoot Arbery.

"The inconvenient truth is that Roddie Bryan did not know and could not know that these men were armed until moments before Mr. Arbery's tragic death," Gough said. "He did not know that Arbery would be shot and by that time, sadly, there was nothing Roddie Bryan could do to prevent this tragedy."

Gough said that from the get-go, Bryan cooperated with the police, providing several statements, his home security video and the now-famous cellphone video he took that captured part of the fatal shooting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, without Roddie Bryan, there is no case," Gough said.

Gough said Bryan had no lawyer present when police first interviewed him.

"These actions, ladies and gentlemen, only demonstrate good faith, his conduct (is) negative of any inference of criminal intent."
