Editor’s Note: After this segment aired Thursday, the Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI) announced that Gregory and Travis McMichael had been arrested. The two men made their initial court appearance in the killing of Arbery and face murder and assault charges. “We base our decisions on two things. One are facts and the other is the law,” said GBI’s Vic Reynolds, adding, “Whatever the facts are, we apply the law to it. If the law says what the facts are is a felony murder, then we take the warrants for it. I’m very comfortable in telling you that there’s more than sufficient probable cause in this case for felony murder.”
