The video shows otherwise, dumbass.
You cannot see the first shot on the video.
The Transcript of the hearing tells us AA had blood on his shirt when you can see AA attacking TM. AA was wounded trying to disarm his attacker.
Jesse Evans: (
51:38)
During Travis McMichael’s interview with police, did he make any admissions about firing the fatal gunshots in this particular case?
Richard Dial: (
51:46)
He did. He admitted firing the weapon three times.
Jesse Evans: (
51:50)
And the first shot that he articulated, where did he indicate to the police that that shot landed?
Richard Dial: (
51:56)
The chest, Mr. Arbery’s chest.
Jesse Evans: (
51:58)
So the first shot that Mr. Travis McMichael said that was inflicted on Mr. Arbery was one of the chest wounds that you had articulated here, correct?
Richard Dial: (
52:07)
That is correct.
Jesse Evans: (
52:08)
And is there video evidence that you saw that tends to corroborate based on your observation that that is an accurate statement that the chest wounds was, or least one of the chest wounds, was the first shot that was fired at the deceased victim Mr. Arbery?
Richard Dial: (
52:25)
Yes, sir, there is.
Jesse Evans: (
52:26)
Can you articulate for the court how that is that you’re able to see that?
Richard Dial: (
52:29)
After the first shot, again, you see a struggle between Travis McMichael and Mr. Arbery. During that struggle, Mr. Arbery, while he was wearing a white shirt during this incident, during that struggle, you see the front of his shirt is saturated with blood.
Jesse Evans: (
52:44)
He’s already saturated blood before the struggle that you can see on the video?
Richard Dial: (
52:49)
Well that’s correct, during the struggle is mere seconds after the first shot, his front of his shirt is saturated with blood.
