SAVANNAH, Ga. — The three white men convicted of hate crimes for chasing and killing Ahmaud Arbery in a Georgia neighborhood in 2020
"What happened to 'Maud is everybody's problem," Marcus Arbery Sr. said."Because if we don't stop this now, this country is gonna go backwards... we got to bring changes, we got to make our young people feel free to run and have fun and not get chased down like animals."Attorney Gerald Griggs, the president of the Georgia NAACP, spoke and said his impression from the way the judges questioned lawyers, that the appeals court would affirm the conviction.
Earlier in the year, the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals scheduled oral arguments in the case for March 27 in Atlanta. Attorneys for father and son Greg and Travis McMichael and their neighbor, William “Roddie” Bryan, are asking the court to throw outby the men in pickup trucks and fatally shot in the streets of a subdivision outside Brunswick on Feb. 23, 2020.
The McMichaels and Bryan stood trial on hate crime charges in U.S. District Court less than three months after all three werein a Georgia state court. Federal prosecutors used social media posts, text messages and other evidence of past racist comments by all three men to argue they targeted Arbery because he was Black.
