🔴 Ahmaud Arbery Killing Updates: Ahmaud's mom references toenail comment during sentencing
Attorney Kevin Gough, the attorney for William Bryan, filed four motions this morning.
"Because the evidence is clear he neither killed nor attempted to kill anyone in this matter and believe that it's cruel...unconstitutionally cruel to impose a mandatory life sentence," Gough said.Under the second motion, Gough argued Bryan should not face a mandatory life sentence. In his third motion, Gough asks the court to vacate the legal felony murder conviction due to double jeopardy because he was acquitted of felony murder in count two. Gough said an inmate from the Michigan prison system drafted a motion for him and cited law.
In the final oral motion, Gough issued an 8th and 5th Amendment challenge. He argues that sentencing scheme is cruel and denies due process and is, therefore,"hopelessly ambiguous."
