Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent Richard Dial told a preliminary hearing that another of the three men, William Bryan, admitted that McMichael used the epithet. The slur was recounted in questioning under oath by Bryan, who filmed the killing on his cellphone, Dial said. Arbery’s case was buried by local police and justice officials - Gregory McMichael was a former investigator for the Brunswick prosecutor - until Bryan’s video of the shooting leaked to the media on May 5.Bryan’s video shows the McMichaels, both armed, stopped in a truck. As Arbery tried to run around their vehicle, Travis McMichael appears to impede him with a shotgun, and in a scuffle Arbery is shot three times.
