William "Roddie" Bryan Jr., the man who recorded the fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery in a neighborhood outside Brunswick, Georgia, has been arrested on suspicion of felony murder, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said on its website.
Bryan witnessed the deadly encounter between Travis McMichael and Arbery on February 23 from a vehicle behind a pickup that stopped in the road. Gregory McMichael, who was in the bed of the pickup during the shooting, told police that Bryan had tried to help them stop Arbery earlier.
Kevin Gough, an attorney for Bryan, said earlier this week that Bryan had taken a polygraph test that confirmed he was not involved in the shooting.
Bryan was unarmed at the time of shooting and that Bryan did not have any conversation with Gregory or Travis McMichael before the shooting, Gough said, citing test results.
Bryan took the test voluntarily, Gough said.

For every one Ahmaud's story that goes public, there are thousands going untold.

Screw this, local authorities clearly have shown they cant be trusted; bring in a federal investigation and throw away the key for anyone involved.

It seems like it wouldn't be very difficult to find out from phone records whether the three men were communicating before and during the crime.

I knew nothing about this case until I saw this video a week or so ago. When I watched I shouted to the person taking the video "Oh my God. Get out of there before they see you and come after you!" Then I realised the person didn't swear, didn't make any attempt to get away. Instead they were calm and held the camera nice and steady, not like you would if you came across a horrific crime. I soon realised he was in on it.

It’s sad how far they went to try to not prosecute this case and how hard the family had to beg to get justice for their kid just because he’s black The fact that two separate police reports were filed, One of which was by Greg Michael who didn’t even have police authority and was driving the truck his son was in the back of, that name the guy who filmed as an innocent bystander who wasn’t involved is just sickening. After watching that body cam of the crime scene, it disturbs me that all the police involved weren’t terminated and thrown in jail also
