(Rearrangement of content for clarity - Yahoo stories suck!)

A third person has been charged in the murder of Ahmaud Arbery.
On May 7, Gregory and Travis McMichael were arrested and charged with Arbery's murder.
(The) man who filmed shooting of Ahmaud Arbery (has also been) charged with murder

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation on Thursday said it arrested William "Roddie" Bryan Jr., 50, on charges of felony murder and criminal attempt to commit false imprisonment. Bryan took the viral cellphone footage depicting the chase and killing of Arbery, 25, on Feb. 23 in Glynn County.

Bryan will be booked into the Glynn County Jail, GBI said. An initial police report noted Bryan tried unsuccessfully to block Arbery, who was jogging in the neighborhood when confronted....and on it goes
=================================================================================

Persons commenting on the story don't seem to like this arrest, citing Brayan's post-crime cooperation with investigating police vs a story that begs the question of whether or not his filming while driving amounted to "cutting the victim off at the pass" in order to get a better background/focus/footage for some nefarious purpose that turned deadly. Depending on accepted evidence probably yet to come since search warrants of homes have been obtained, it's a jury decision I wouldn't want to have to make because the spin either way still smells as bad as when it broke, IMHO.
