Greg and Travis McMichael are serving life without parole for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. A Georgia state court sentenced both men to life without the possibility of parole. They were later sentenced in federal court as well, but those federal sentences run concurrently with their state life‑without‑parole terms.
William “Roddie” Bryan did not get life “merely for recording from a distance.”
Bryan was not convicted simply for filming. He was convicted of felony murder, attempted false imprisonment, and federal hate‑crime charges, because the jury found he actively participated in the chase, used his truck to block Arbery, and helped trap him. In state court, Bryan received life with the possibility of parole after 30 years. In federal court, he received 35 years.
I didn't know any of this, except I knew the name Ahmad Aubery. Wow. I am simply horrified. What a terrible travesty of justice, enabled and encouraged by rotten Protestant ministers. Talk about fruit of the poisonous tree.
I am just now getting around to a letter you wrote to the Diocese of Georgia Community in reference to the State V. Travis McMichael, Greg McMichael and William R. Bryan.
I am the Mother of Travis McMichael and the Wife of Greg. I was raised attending St. Marks Episcopal Church in Brunswick, Ga. My Father was a well-known physician in Brunswick from 1958 until his death in 1996. As a child, my family attended church regularly and were very active at St. Marks. I attended kindergarten there in 1964 when Father Morgan was our priest. Father Arthur Cody performed my communion ceremony in 1972. Father Buz Yarbrough officiated Greg and my marriage ceremony in 1983. Father Yarbrough also counseled us before our marriage and at times, during our marriage. Father Yarbrough also Christened Travis in 1986.Father Yarbrough officiated my mothers funeral in 1988. Father Liam Christened our daughter around 1996 and officiated my fathers funeral in 1996. Father Liam officiated my grandfathers funeral in 1997.
We attended church regularly when our children were young and we were active in St. Marks. Travis was a altar boy and was active in boy scouts at St. Marks. Greg was a scout leader.
I am writing to you because you obviously no nothing about my family and you were mighty quick to judge us based on a 5 min. Video and the toxic narrative that was pushed through the media.
Both of my guys are Veterans and X-Law enforcement. Greg was stationed in Roda Spain in 1974 in the Navy. During this time he rescued and saved the life of an African American shipmate who was drowning at the beach. Greg had to perform CPR. Greg was in Law-enforcement for 30 + years. He was a street cop for 10 years and a detective and then an investigator for the rest. Greg solved several high profiles cases in this community. Father Yarbrough counseled Greg after Greg worked a murder case, May 30, 1986, in which a young woman was almost decapitated. Greg spent 3 days in the hospital with the victim and was responsible for identifying her murder. Greg attended the murders execution on March 10,2009. Greg was in contact with the victim's family until the time of his arrest. During his career, Greg had NO complaints and excellent evaluations. Greg is spiritual. He was raised in the Methodist church and he turns to God frequently, especially now.
Travis spent 10 years in the U.S.C.G. He was a mechanic and a boarding officer. Travis did drug interdiction in the South Pacific on the U.S.S. Sherman. During high school days, Travis was a lifeguard. At 17 years old, he saved a 10-year-old drowning African American child at a Hospice bereavement camp at Honey Creek in Camden Co. In the Coast Guard he reported harassment toward one of his African American shipmates. Someone hung a hang man's noose in the shipmate's belongings. Travis saved several lives in his professional and personal life. His evaluations from the C.G, were excellent even in race relations.
As for me, I was raised going to Sapelo Island every other weekend. My father saw that the people on Sapelo were lacking medical care due to the inconvenience of traveling by boat to the mainland. He started going to Sapelo by boat in 1969 or 1970. I was 10 and we would spend every other Saturday or Sunday on the Island. While my father saw patients and my mother acted as his nurse, I would play with the other children in the community of Hog Hammock. Those are some of my greatest memories. I grew up color blind. My father loved all people as I do. I would have never married a racist or raise a racist. I returned to nursing school when Travis was 9 months old. Greg and I were a team during that time. He was Mr. Mom a lot of evenings while I studied. In 2001, I went into Hospice Nursing. I was a field nurse who went into patient's homes. This is my favorite nursing job. I loved my patients and their families. I strived to be the best I could be for my patients. I spent many 3 am mornings sitting on the side of a bed next to my patient and instructing families on the process their loved ones were going through. These patients were of all races, cultures, and nationalities. That was not a problem. Nurses are trained on different culture beliefs and to respect your patient's cultural belief. After 9 years of hospice nursing, I had to leave. The loss became to personal and it was time to move on.
The part of the story you did not hear is that Mr. Arbery was on video several times in neighbor's house under construction where electronic equipment was taken. Our neighborhood was under attack. Cars were broken into constantly and the police could not catch the perpetrator. Travis witnessed Mr. Arbery in the neighbor's house 1 week before the tragic event. Arbery saw Travis and reached into his waist band as if he was reaching for a gun. The neighbor's children would not play outside in the afternoons because they witnessed Mr. Arbery peaking in their windows. This was also caught on video. Arbery's death was tragic and my family cried and prayed for his family more than anyone could imagine. He did not deserve to die, but this was not out of hate, Malice murder, or caused by race. Please see https://mcmichaeltrial.com (https://mcmichaeltrial.com/) for details.
You are the only person that I have written a response to the negative comments toward my family. I tahink it is because you are a man of God and I have always had the utmost respect toward my spiritual leaders, but you are human also. My men are spiritual and have turned to God all of their lives. To this day, Greg and Travis are in their bibles. They pray daily. Not for their selves, but for all of those that this tragedy has caused pain to. Because of their faith, Greg and Travis are surviving solitary confinement. 24/7 in a 6 x 10 cell. They are out of their cell ONLY for a heavy guarded shower 3x a week. Greg can call me only 3 x a week and Travis calls his son and me daily. They have not seen the sun in 6 years and have constant death threats. I guess that this is the Justice that you prayed for and they are receiving their "earthly justice".
God is great. My family has been misjudged through the medica manipulation, race baters and my own church. We have been deemed guilty from day one with no chance of recovery or fair trial. I am angry, but my son keeps me grounded. He reminds me every day that there is a reason for everything and that God is in charge. Both guys are in good spirits and at peace. They do not complain or whine.
As for me, I continue with my life and love for mankind no matter what. I will never darken the door of the episcopal church again. I have found a non-denominational church whose pastor did not sign your letter and who counseled my husband and son while they were in the local jail. He provided me with unconditional love and welcomed me with open arms in my hour of need.
I will pray for you that you will follow Gods word and guidance and be non judgemental in the future. I pray you seek the truth and not rumors or slander. Live with guidance from your soul and not by political correctness or popular beliefs.
Beautifully written by a fierce, faithful and loving mother and wife. I learned many years ago that one of the biggest faults humans have is looking to other humans “clergy” as if they were actually God. God may speak through us at times but we must never loose sight that he alone can judge and save. God bless you and your beautiful family.
The Anglican Episcopal Church has always been a government state sponsored institution. Henry VIII created it. It’s why America was founded with no state sponsored religious institutions. The Anglican Bishops are politicians with vestments.
William “Roddie” Bryan did not get life “merely for recording from a distance.”
Bryan was not convicted simply for filming. He was convicted of felony murder, attempted false imprisonment, and federal hate‑crime charges, because the jury found he actively participated in the chase, used his truck to block Arbery, and helped trap him. In state court, Bryan received life with the possibility of parole after 30 years. In federal court, he received 35 years.
The horror of this with the so-called backing of the church is an abomination. As practicing Catholic I am terrified of what the former Pope in this new pope are up to. Because it seems like it's more politically expedient than biblically correct. God bless the innocent men in jail for this. And damn the idiots that made it happen
The heady days of Covid, George Floyd, wokeists....and not one of those "ministers" spoke even a whisper on behalf of the innocent's robbed, raped and murdered by illegals.
Episcopalian bishop Frank Logue should be defrocked. He poisoned the jury pool for the trial of the McMichaels and Roddy Bryan by writing a letter to the jury telling them it was their duty to fight racism and convict these two men who “murdered” a black man in broad daylight. He also waxed eloquently about how those poor sweet innocent black people are being hunted by the big bad white men and he’ll never know what that’s like. Well, he would if he ran around a neighborhood terrorizing people, burglarizing people’s houses and trying to fight someone for their gun. This case had nothing whatsoever to do with color and everything to do with a mentally ill career criminal going around a quite suburban neighborhood intimidating people and breaking into people’s cars and homes to steal whatever they could find that wasn’t nailed down. Ahmaud Arbery’s behavior was unacceptable and unlawful, if we were white I’d feel no different.
Bishop Logue wrote this letter based purely on emotion. He didn’t know the facts nor did he bother to try and find out what they were. He and the jury never knew Ahmaud Arbery was mentally ill and his own mother was afraid him and called the police on him a few times. They never knew he stole Travis’ gun out of his truck. Nor was the fact that Arbery wrestled Travis for his shotgun ever brought up. Bishop Logue helped condemn two innocent men. George Barnhill is the only hero of this otherwise tragic story who saw from the very beginning this was a shooting done in self-defense. Arbery’s death was his own fault. Period. End of story. But the mob led by the left, was NOT having it and was determined to railroad the McMichaels and Roddy Bryan. Bishop Logue was part of this unruly mob.
The Episcopalian Church has clearly become radicalized and wokefied. I am a theologically liberal mainline Lutheran, and I am shocked and appalled by the things I’m hearing these people say and advocate for. I’m a pro-choice Christian but I would never ever say that if alive today, Jesus would bless women who end their pregnancies and wear a cloth with the Planned Parenthood logo on it. First off, as a pro-choice Christian I believe abortion should be safe, legal and rare and that it should be treated as the solemn thing that it is, not celebrated. Second, I believe in racial justice but I do NOT support the race grievance industry or BLM. They are false prophets who don’t really care about the black community. I support organizations like FAIR, The Equiano Project, The Prohuman Foundation, Color Us United, Take Charge Minnesota, and The Woodson Center who fight for racial equality but do so by teaching colorblindness and universalism NOT with identity politics and victimhood.
Third, as a Christian I believe God’s church has NO place for partisan politics! Leigh McMichael’s letter to Bishop Logue was most moving and called him out in a very gentle and Christlike way. But Leigh doesn’t chastise or attack the Bishop but urges him to look into his heart and change his ways. She urges him to examine his preconceived notions about the case and admit he was wrong and work to undo the damage he helped to cause. He has not written back. I hope he will do so. As to Stacey Abrams, she is an embarrassment whom the Georgia Democratic Party should cut ties with. What happened to competent Georgia Democrats like Jimmy Carter, Zell Miller and Sam Nunn? The Georgia Republicans need to grow a backbone! They should’ve stood up for Greg, Travis and Roddie all those years ago! I call on President Trump once again, to pardon all three of these men as they are innocent of murder.
Exactly! Luke 20:25 And he (JESUS) said unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which be Cæsar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s. This Bishop is not living under the principles that Jesus Christ taught us.
Bishop Logue's letter was not addressed to jurors, did not mention jurors, and did not instruct anyone to convict. It was a pastoral letter to the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia, asking parishioners to pray for the community, the judge, the jury and the families of both Arbery and the defendants.
The prayer explicitly asks that the jury “impartially administer the law.” There is no language telling anyone how to vote, what verdict to reach, or that the defendants “murdered” anyone. There is no directive to “fight racism” by convicting anyone.
Georgia courts apply strict rules about outside influence. The judge in the Arbery case did not admit the letter into evidence, did not allow it to be discussed in voir dire and did not allow it to be referenced in trial
Jurors were not shown the letter, they were not questioned about the letter, they were not instructed about the letter, they were not told about Bishop Logue at all and there is no evidence any juror ever read the bishop's letter.
These three men and the police officer were made sacrifices to BLM by the all the people involved politically and in the courts - a horrible & cruel injustice.
Thank you for your efforts in educating your readers in “the rest of the story” so that we can keep these suffering men in prayer and that they are not forgotten.
Is there any legal option open to them? Is there any way to support an effort?
I am not an expert on Christianity, but religions that become political voices, including the Jewish religion, drive as many people away as they attract. So where is the net gain? There is a difference that seems to escape some. Not all people who are poor are oppressed. Likewise, not all of those who have succeeded in their secular lives are evil. Divisiveness in the guise of Love creates hatred. Both poor and wealthy people do evil acts. I pray that the truth is uncovered and the truly guilty are punished. And, let me add, people like Jack Cashill are what journalism is all about.
Wow. I actually knew Frank Logue when he first came to Camden County. We did work for him when he was having his church built. He never struck me as a very biblical man. I am sad to hear he went the woke route. But not surprised. No preacher should ever be practicing politics. Especially when all the relevant evidence has been suppressed. I am disgusted by his actions.
To be white in America today is to be villified --it is outrageous ! To be a white law enforcement officer on any level is the most dangerous occupation in America . To be a Black Law Enforcement officer in the environment America is in today is to be corageous ! It is the totally misguided left democrat progressive fools that gave us this environment of hatred !
Thank you, Jack!
God bless your family. Pressure needs to be put on Trump to pardon the trio as his last act in office.
State crime not federal and the RINO governor has more important issues to deal with like what was uncovered in Fulton County
Greg and Travis McMichael are serving life without parole for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. A Georgia state court sentenced both men to life without the possibility of parole. They were later sentenced in federal court as well, but those federal sentences run concurrently with their state life‑without‑parole terms.
William “Roddie” Bryan did not get life “merely for recording from a distance.”
Bryan was not convicted simply for filming. He was convicted of felony murder, attempted false imprisonment, and federal hate‑crime charges, because the jury found he actively participated in the chase, used his truck to block Arbery, and helped trap him. In state court, Bryan received life with the possibility of parole after 30 years. In federal court, he received 35 years.
Thank you!
Oh yeah right. Maybe he can get together with the GA governor who I believe is Republican
The governor is a RINO as is the Secretary of State….
I didn't know any of this, except I knew the name Ahmad Aubery. Wow. I am simply horrified. What a terrible travesty of justice, enabled and encouraged by rotten Protestant ministers. Talk about fruit of the poisonous tree.

More grace than that heretical Bishop deserves.

The Anglican Episcopal Church has always been a government state sponsored institution. Henry VIII created it. It’s why America was founded with no state sponsored religious institutions. The Anglican Bishops are politicians with vestments.
There is no evidence that this letter was ever sent to Bishop Logue or that it exists in any official or verifiable capacity.
The colossal "tell" in this case is Mr Bryan receiving a life sentence for recording exculpatory evidence…What The Foxtrot?!?
Hey, anything to keep race hustlers like the Abrams Tank well fed.
How about the police officer in the George Floyd case who got four years in jail and he was just directing traffic?
William “Roddie” Bryan did not get life “merely for recording from a distance.”
Bryan was not convicted simply for filming. He was convicted of felony murder, attempted false imprisonment, and federal hate‑crime charges, because the jury found he actively participated in the chase, used his truck to block Arbery, and helped trap him. In state court, Bryan received life with the possibility of parole after 30 years. In federal court, he received 35 years.
Everyone should send a copy of this article to President Trump.
I know we must forgive, but we must also ensure actual justice is served. It has not been done yet.
Thank you, Jack!

Because it seems like it's more politically expedient than biblically correct. God bless the innocent men in jail for this. And damn the idiots that made it happen
Been following this inexplicable charge and verdict.
Beyond comprehension!
The heady days of Covid, George Floyd, wokeists....and not one of those "ministers" spoke even a whisper on behalf of the innocent's robbed, raped and murdered by illegals.
This makes my blood boil. Hell will be slam full of religious leaders. Jesus spoke a few words about religious leaders.

God holds Frank Logue to a higher standard, and he will be judged accordingly.
Another great article. Thanks for keeping the conversation going on this miscarriage of justice. God bless the McMichael family!
To be white in America today is to be villified --it is outrageous ! To be a white law enforcement officer on any level is the most dangerous occupation in America . To be a Black Law Enforcement officer in the environment America is in today is to be corageous ! It is the totally misguided left democrat progressive fools that gave us this environment of hatred !
