Bond hearing for Greg & Travis McMichael, accused murderers of #AhmaudArbery, is underway. First witness is Allison McMichael, wife of Greg for 37 years and mother of 34-year-old Travis. @wsbradio

Allison McMichael identifies photos of her son, Travis, and his son. She says he takes his son everywhere he goes; they like doing everything together from fishing to hunting. Says Travis and the son's mom have a good relationship and swap off custody weeks. @wsbradio

Allison McMichael says Travis, if let out on bond, would never risk not seeing his son again, who means "the world" to him. The boy's mom is not in court because "she's been exposed to COVID." @wsbradio

Allison McMichael reads a letter her son Travis McMichael got while as a lifeguard in which he helped save a life at Camp Courage in 2003. She talks about him joining the Coast Guard. #AhmaudArbery @wsbradio

Allison McMichael identifies a letter of commendation to Coast Guardsman Travis McMichael, talks about things she learned he did by going through his documents; she says "He never told me about any of this" #AhmaudArbery @wsbradio

Allison McMichael says Travis lived w/ her & Greg McMichael for the last couple of years. He had to get a government security clearance for his recent job. Defense asks her if their neighborhood began to see "changes" in criminal activity @wsbradio #AhmaudArbery

#AhmaudArbery Allison McMichael says she never knew of son Travis going hunting for criminals, having physical altercations, or writing some kind of manifesto about it. ~1/1/2019, Travis had a gun stolen from his truck. Even then he never went looking for confrontation @wsbradio

#AhmaudArbery Allison McMichael says Travis lost his job 2 days before his arrest "...because of this." Yes, she knows of Travis calling 911 Feb 11 [it was a "suspicious person" call]; that he got his gun & dad that day; that no one was hurt; the cops came. @wsbradio

Allison McMichael is aware that her daughter snapped photo of #AhmaudArbery fatal shooting scene and put it on social media. She is aware that Travis, from jail, said in a phone call that his sister needed to take it down. @wsbradio

Shawn Lee Sawyer, friend of Travis McMichael since high school, is on the stand. Never heard Travis talk about trying to solve crimes in the neighborhood. Has never known Travis to be violent. #AhmaudArbery @wsbradio

Travis McMichael friend Shawn Sawyer says he would support Travis no matter what. Acknowledges he does not know everything about this case or about things Travis may not have shared with him. He and his wife will put up their house for Travis' bond. #AhmaudArbery @wsbradio

In a quick bathroom break now for one of the defendants. Greg McMichael lawyer Laura Hogue says a lawyer in her office tells her that their notes & exhibits before being tendered are visible "to the world" on the camera stream and she wants to correct that #ahmaudarbery @wsbradio

On the stand now in the Greg & Travis McMichael bond hearing: Ashlee Sawyer, wife of Shawn Sawyer for 13 years, a medical assistant. Has known Travis since middle school: "I would consider him my best friend." Hunts, fishes, family vacations with him. #AhmaudArbery @wsbradio

Ashlee Sawyer says Travis McMichael always wants to make people laugh; never known him to take the role of police officer upon himself. Yes, she talked to him after his arrest. #AhmaudArbery @wsbradio

Ashlee Sawyer says Travis McMichael never indicated after his arrest for the murder of #AhmaudArbery that he wanted to skip court: "He was fully aware of what happened. He didn't feel like anything he'd done was on the wrong side of the law" @wsbradio

Zachary Langford, another longtime friend of Travis McMichael, takes the stand at his bond hearing. He considers Travis "my best friend." They worked together at a well drilling company. With people from all backgrounds, "He got along with everybody" #AhmaudArbery @wsbradio

"He felt remorse. He didn't like what happened," Zachary Langford shares about Travis McMichael's feelings after his fatal shooting of #AhmaudArbery. Says McMichael had some trouble sleeping afterward. @wsbradio

Zachary Langford says he knew of one black friend Travis McMichael had. Two he could think of, but just one Travis might talk to more often. State asks Langford about racial social media posts they shared. Langford says he doesn't remember them. @wsbradio #AhmaudArbery
