Ahmaud Arbery trial verdict: Travis McMichael guilty on all counts
Fox News
Jurors in Brunswick, Georgia, on Wednesday found Travis McMichael and his father, Greg McMichael, guilty on nearly all counts, including felony murder.
Travis McMichael, 35, was found guilty on all counts, and Greg McMichael, 65, was found guilty on eight after they shot and killed Arbery — an unarmed Black man — while he was on a run in a neighborhood outside of Brunswick. All three men were charged with nine counts.
The twelve jurors, 11 of whom are White and one of whom is Black, reached their verdict on the 14th day of the trial. The prosecution and defense made their closing arguments on Monday, when protesters including Black armed militias appeared outside the Glynn County courthouse, demanding justice for the deceased 25 year old.
On the Sunday afternoon when Arbery was killed, Greg McMichael spotted Arbery "hauling a—" by his house and called for his son. The pair grabbed their guns and hopped in a pickup truck. Bryan soon joined the chase in his own pickup truck.
