CNN) Attorneys for Gregory McMichael, one of the men charged in the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery, said Friday that "a very different narrative" will be revealed when all the facts come out.

"The truth will reveal that this is not another act of violent racism," Frank Hogue said at a news conference. "Greg McMichael did not commit murder."

Dad’s lawyer has an interesting take.

"Our client has not been charged the same as his son," Laura Hogue said. "He's been charged as a party to the crime, which is a Georgia statute that holds an individual who aids or abets or facilitates a crime, with the same responsibility as the individual who actually perpetrated the crime."

I guess this is what courts and juries are for.

Greg McMichael did not commit murder................ ???? Well it will be if CNN covers it, regardless if it was or not. We need more racial division to blame it on Trump. Anything goes, the Libs gotta win this coming election no mater how many bodies they have to step on to be successful.

I don’t know Frank Hogue but he has a good resume (well-known Macon attorney). Will have to study up on him and ask some lawyer friends of mine for their opinions.

Facts are irrelevant in this case just as they were in the Treyvon Martin and Ferguson cases.

It's all about the narrative and getting that narrative out in the public eye before the facts are investigated.

The “kid” was 25, not a kid, don’t feed the narrative.

“Well that’s nice to know but the kid is still dead.”

The kid was a notorious gunman in his own right.

Travis may not be able to lawyer-up as well.

Yes, he is, but lynching the McMichaes won't bring him back.

I think they’ll both get good lawyers. This is going to be a BIG case and there are plenty of good lawyers who will want to take the McMichael’s side.

"Greg McMichael did not commit murder."

A jury will determine that.

Ahmaud's mother has said that both the father and the son should get the death sentence.

That should settle it. Why do we need to bother with a trial?

The kid never killed anyone. So now the shooter is one up on him.

O’Mara was George Zimmerman’s lawyer. I wonder if he is busy at the moment.

Victim’s momma nor Freepers will be sitting on those juries.

They’ll get their days in court.

This isn’t Zimmerman-Trayvon, though, where Zimmerman clearly was subject to homophobic attack without provocation.
