The attorney for William “Roddie” Bryan, one of the three defendants charged with murder and other crimes in the death of Ahmaud Arbery, is asking for a reconsideration of his client’s bail status in two recently filed motions.
In a motion filed on Dec. 31, Bryan’s attorney, Kevin Gough, claims that Bryan is suffering from “uncontrolled high blood pressure since his arrest and detention, despite the efforts of the Glynn County Detention Center to render treatment.”
The motion asserts that “sporadic checks of his blood pressure regularly reflect blood pressure in excess of 180/100” with his pressure measured at 190/100 as recently as Dec. 30...
Gough filed a third motion for bond reconsideration Tuesday, the first having been filed in October. It reemphasized Bryan’s health issues, saying the defendant “has now been prescribed a sedative, or tranquilizer, in an effort to reduce his anxiety.”

His BP seemed not to interfere with the big exciting chase.

Well isn’t that just awful for Roddie Bryan. He can get all the medical care he needs right there in jail. Not that he deserves it.

work is ridiculously busy and I just saw that new motions had been filed this week. the final paragraph of the Bryan motion (page 2) has me all kinds of fired up. So I will simply provide the snip, link it, and refrain from additional commentary.
“The eyes of a weary nation are on Georgia, and its criminal justice system, wondering whether in this racially charged atmosphere, and political climate, a white person accused of a crime of violence against a black person can still receive a fair trial in the Georgia courts,” wrote attorney and comma aficionado Kevin Gough. “These defendants remained the only individuals to be denied bond in any of these high profile, racially charged cases.” https://www.glynncounty.org/Documen...NG-AMENDED-MOTION-FOR-RECONSIDERATION-OF-BOND

Defense attorney filed "speedy trial' motion for murder defendant
Jan. 22, 2021
The attorney for the man who videoed the chase that ended in the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery last February says his client is being denied his right to a speedy trial on murder charges, arguing that the COVID-19 pandemic is no excuse.
[.....]
Jury trials and jury selections have been suspended since March 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic precautions. On Jan. 8, the Georgia Supreme Court announced that jury trials will remain suspended statewide through at least Feb. 7.
In the motion filed Monday, attorney Kevin Gough argues that Bryan’s chances of going to trial before the one-year mark of his arrest are slim, constituting a denial of his right to a speedy trial.
Gough said the threat of COVID-19 infection is now greater than it was at any time since jury trials were suspended. He further argues that the threat of COVID-19 is not sufficient to delay the trial of his client.
“Defendant notes that the prevalence of COVID-19 is now substantially higher than it was when the first emergency order was entered and during the ‘shelter-in-place’ imposed earlier this year,” the motion states. “The prevalence of COVID-19 is likely to remain elevated well beyond those numbers through the Fall of 2021 and perhaps even through the Spring of 2022. The ‘window’ within which to most safely try this case passed in the summer months of 2020.”
[.....]
Gough’s motion calls for “an evidentiary hearing and pre-trial ruling” on his claims of a “speedy trial violation.”
The case is being prosecuted by the Cobb County District Attorney’s Office, which has until Jan. 31 to respond to the motion, said Cobb County DA spokeswoman Kimberly Isaza.....

Lack of medical care is a real issue in the criminal justice system.
That said, Mr. Bryan filmed the killing of Mr. Arbery not ever rendering any help when it was clear that Mr. Arbery was still breathing.
The "Awe, mom, all the other kids get bail" sentiment is pretty rich, especially in a county where the DA has historically favored people like Mr. Bryan. If the DA had done her job properly, Mr. Bryan would have been arrested months earlier.
He should get blood pressure medication as I want him to be alive for trial. Reduced sodium bologna would help as well. But, he is right where he should be--behind bars.

It is good to see a Republican governor recognizing the need for reform in this area.
Overly broad citizens arrest laws or SYG laws coupled with certain segments of the population being given wildly favorable police or prosecutorial reviews simply facilitate empowerment amongst some that leads to murder of others.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. — A judge has denied the request for a second bond hearing to a man charged in a high-profile murder case in Southeast Georgia.

Bryan’s attorney, Kevin Gough filed a motion two weeks ago asking his client to be released from jail due to his blood pressure being 190/100.
In documents posted Thursday, the judge denied that request. Judge denies second request of bond hearing to Ahmaud Arbery murder suspect | firstcoastnews.com

Yep, refraining from additional commentary about Gough's unsubtleties seems a good choice. I'll probably make the same choice here if Gough actually argues in court that WRB only hit AA with his truck because AA was trying to carjack it.
Tuesday will mark the passing of one year since the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery on the quiet streets of Satilla Shores in Glynn County.
A lot has happened since that fateful day. Three men have been arrested on charges of murder and remain in the Glynn County Detention Center awaiting trial, which may still be months away.
One year later, wheels of justice trudge forward in Arbery shooting death

No date yet@sds71 - I can't access the article you posted - not even in Outline - but I take it there was no hearing date in there? They have not been in court since November...
TIA!
When this high-profile case might go to trial is an open-ended question that begins with a worldwide pandemic. All jury trials in Georgia have been suspended since the COVID-19 pandemic broke out last March.
Jury trials will remain suspended through at least March 9, according to Georgia Chief Justice Harold Melton.

IMO....The health of WB may be in more jeopardy if he were to be released than sitting in jail with high blood pressure. He should count his blessings. IMO
