Arbery was shot and killed on Feb. 23, 2020. Cellphone video leaked to the public shows two armed white men in a truck approaching the 25-year-old Black man as he runs down the road. One of the men, later identified as Travis McMichael, and Arbery struggle over McMichael's shotgun before Arbery is shot and collapses.

Travis McMichael, his father Gregory McMichael and William "Roddy" Bryan, who recorded the video, are all charged with murder in Arbery's death.

That's what happens when children who get what they want by throwing tantrums grow up to be lawyers. Glad the judge put him in his childish place.

[IndustrialMindedArtist]

The defense has been throwing temper tantrums in front of the Jury all week, the Judge finally had enough.

Idk why this just cracks me up. The Judge saying so calmly “ladies and gentlemen please step outside” like he was about to lay the smack down

[jeromeashley]

If the McMichaels would have just minded there own business mr arbery would be alive

[dodgeking]

If all judges were like this guy the world would be a more just place

[dawg]

This defense attorney was talking big shit and was all excited to get in front of the court before the trial. I'm sure he wasn't expecting this judge to smack him around

[DarkPesco]

This was a modern-day lynching.... period.

[laurabook]

The judge was livid, but had to hold it in. Thank goodness he did, or the attys in this trial would take it as an example to be even more rude, more disrespectful of his rulings and instructions. This judge is a good one.

[robertpatton]

Is that a actual court room? Looks like a storage room for office max.

[chinavee]

This angry calm judge is far more intimidating than the angry yelling judge in the Rittenhouse trial.

[randomperson]

Your a bad ass judge who knows his law... I like him he's a no bullshit kind of guy.. Just like Linda the prosecutors she is a amazing talented lawyer who gets the job done.

[phaseg]

I believe this is a judge of integrity.

[RATsnak]

This judge doesn’t take sh*t. I like him.

[Pyramid]

I had a feeling about this judge, hope I'm not reading him wrong, he's fair.

[jamesdrynan]

The attorney's flippant reaction at 0:34 is the reason the judge admonished him. It is quite obvious that this judge will not tolerate unprofessional conduct in this important case.

[maryluvsmusic]

Get em Judge 👨🏽‍⚖️!! Disrespect won’t be tolerated here😤!

[ctbt]

This judge seems like he don’t play games. That’s good

[shipofthesun]

It makes me very happy to see the rest of the defense lawyers have to sit there and squirm while the judge was handing out that very polite ass whipping.

[murraywagnon]

Boy, that Defense Attorney sure thinks he's something special.

[velvetroom]

This man tried to get the Officer to admit he agreed with Gregory that this was some how a burglary but failed and got shut down LOL
