Brunswick, Georgia — A federal jury in Georgia has begun deliberations in the federal hate crimes trial of three White men who have already been convicted of chasing down and murdering Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man.
During Monday's closing arguments, lawyers for the three defendants argued that the pursuit of Arbery was not racially motivated, but a result of the belief he was involved in criminal activity.
Father and son Greg and Travis McMichael and their neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan were convicted in state court in November.
