Ahmaud Arbery murder trial: Defense attorney compares rally of Black pastors to 'public lynching'
Fox News
A defense attorney for one of the White men charged with the slaying of Ahmaud Arbery likened a rally of pastors outside the Georgia courthouse Thursday to a "public lynching" of the defendants.
"This is what a public lynching looks like in the 21st century," Gough told Glynn County Superior Judge Tim Walmsley, who promptly shot down the request. No jurors were present.
Gough said his client's right to a fair trial has been violated by a "left woke mob."
