FOURTH UPDATE, Friday,, 12:09 PM PT: Gregory McMichael and his son Travis were sentenced to life in prison without parole in the death of Ahmaud Arbery.

The three men who shot and killed Ahmaud Arbery, while he was out running in Satilla Shores, Georgia have been found guilty of murder by a jury.

Gregory McMichael, Travis McMichael, and William “Roddie” Bryan Jr. have been found guilty in the death of Ahmaud Arbery, the unarmed 25-year-old Black man who was fatally shot while he was out for a jog in Satilla Shores, a neighborhood near Brunswick, Georgia in February 2020. Travis was found guilty on all charges. Gregory found not guilty on a malice murder charge, but guilty on the other counts. Bryan was found not guilty on a malice murder charge, as well as one felony murder charge and one count of aggravated assault, but he was found guilty on other charges. After two days of deliberations, a judge read the verdicts and thanked the jurors for their time and work on the trial on Wednesday November 24.

The defense attorneys representing the father and son accused in the murder of Ahmaud Arbery in a Georgia subdivision last February have filed a series of motions to, in part, prevent prosecutors from referring to Arbery as a "victim" during the trial, as well as bar spectators from wearing Black Lives Matter messaging while in the courtroom. Gregory McMichael and his son Travis, who are both White, have pleaded not guilty to felony malice murder in connection with the shooting death of 25-year-old Arbery, a Black man who was chased and shot dead on a residential street outside Brunswick, Ga., on Feb.

The Georgia man who gunned down Ahmaud Arbery was apparently a bigger fan of racial slurs than previously reported — not only using hate speech to describe his victim but also making racist posts online and in text messages before the killing, prosecutors revealed in court Thursday. The suspect, Travis McMichael, who is jailed for the slaying along with his father, Gregory McMichael, had sent his friend a text message with a racial slur in 2019, it was revealed.

The three white men charged with the murder of a Black jogger in the U.S. state of Georgia pleaded not guilty on Friday in a case that led to a national outcry after a cellphone video of the shooting surfaced on the Internet.
