Suspect in shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery helped release video of incident, attorney says.
Gregory McMichael, one of two suspects arrested in the, played a role in publicly releasing video of the Georgia shooting that sparked nationwide protests, NBC News confirmed Saturday.
Alan Tucker, an attorney in Brunswick, Georgia, told NBC News that McMichael wanted"the public to know the truth," and Tucker contacted a local radio DJ. Tucker, who said he has known McMichael for nearly 30 years in a professional capacity, downloaded the video onto a thumb drive that McMichael “physically” delivered to the station, he said. Tucker did not say when he contacted the DJ nor when the video was delivered, but it became public about two weeks ago.“[Greg] wanted the public to know the truth," Tucker said in a text message to NBC News.
“He hoped the public would see them trying to make a citizen’s arrest on a young man that was running from a home under construction – that he had been seen in at night on several occasions while he plundered around on the owner’s security camera.”Sign Up
