Three men in Ahmaud Arbery case convicted of federal hate crimes
The three men who were found guilty last November of murdering Ahmaud Arbery are also guilty of federal hate crime charges, a jury ruled Tuesday.
The three defendants, Travis McMichael, his father, Gregory McMichael, and William “Roddie” Bryan, pleaded not guilty to the charges, but the jury ultimately concluded that they violated Arbery’s civil rights and had a racial motivation in their pursuit of him.
Last month, a judge rejected a plea deal prosecutors reached in the hate crime charges with the McMichaels. The two men were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole following their conviction last November for the murder of Arbery. Bryan was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
