The father and son have not been since the shooting.   S. Lee Merritt, an attorney for the Arbery family, says the two men "must be taken into custody pending their indictment." Georgia Governor Brian Kemp tweeted that "Georgians deserve answers" and pledged to send resources to the investigation.  In a lengthy op-ed, Russell Moore, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, the public-policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, said that "under any Christian vision of justice, there is no situation in which the mob murder of a person can be morally right, nor grounds for a person to be chased down and shot by private citizens." https://www.christianpost.com/news/pastors-evangelical-leaders-condemn-ahmaud-arbery-killing-issue-call-for-justice.html — Texas Supreme Court orders release of mom jailed for reopening hair salon  The Texas Supreme Court has ordered the release of a Dallas hair salon owner who was sentenced to jail by a judge on Tuesday after she reopened her shop days before the governor lifted lockdown orders on nonessential businesses.
