Federal prosecutors and defense attorneys for the men convicted of killing Ahmaud Arbery wrapped their closing remarks in the federal hate crimes trial.
Travis and Greg McMichael as well as William "Roddie" Bryan are accused of chasing Arbery through a Glynn County subdivision and shooting him because he was black. The defendants, who all, claim they suspected Arbery was behind a string of crimes and the shooting was out of self-defense.
Prosecutor Christopher Perras argued that Travis McMichael "was just looking for a reason" to hurt a Black person when the 25-year-old Arbery jogged past his home. Travis McMichael’s attorney, Amy Lee Copeland, told the jury her client never "spoke to anyone about Mr. Arbery’s death in racial terms."
FBI analyst Amy Vaughan testified that Travis McMichael, the man who shot Arbery, repeatedly used the N-word in text messages and social media posts prior to the killing. The FBI included posts describing violence against Black people.
