Bryan’s lawyer filed legal docs arguing why they believe it’s not fair he’s been stuck behind bars since his arrest on May 21. In docs obtained by the news site, states it’s “manifestly unjust that the alleged killers of George Floyd, Rayshard Brooks and Breonna Taylor have all been granted bond while Roddie Bryan, armed only with a cell phone and located more than 50 feet away from Mr. Arbery at the time of the shooting, languishes in the Glynn County Detention Center.”
In addition to that, Bryan’s lawyer argues his client is not a flight risk to the community and will not flee from the jurisdiction of the court. The lawyer also claims there’s additional witnesses who have come forward willing to testify in support of Bryan’s bond request, including his daughter, TMZ reports.
As we previously reported, On February 23, 2020, Ahmaud Marquez Arbery, an unarmed 25-year-old African-American man, was pursued and fatally shot while jogging near Brunswick in Glynn County, Georgia.
