"48 Hours" uncovers the content of virulent, racial slurs found on the phone of William "Roddie" Bryan, the man who filmed the killing of Ahmaud Arbery. Bryan's attorney says his client "doesn't have a hateful bone in his body."

But just two weeks ago, prosecutors notified the court they intend to introduce trial evidence of past racial slurs investigators found on Roddie Bryan's phone. A warning that the language is graphic:
A text sent from Roddie Bryan's number on Martin Luther King Day this year reads: "I bet ya'll are truly having a Monkey Parade over there." And the racial slurs don't stop there, though Gough says the texts are being taken out of context.
"I've got multiple pages of him using the N-word. And that doesn't make him a racist?" Villafranca asked. "No, sir," said Gough. "Do you use that word?" Villafranca later inquired. "I mean, feel free to use it on national TV right now, Kevin. If you think, 'Eh, it can be put-- it can be used in a proper context.'" "It's not a word I would use," Gough responded. "But I'm not Roddie Bryan."
