On Wednesday, November 24, 2021, Travis McMichael, 35; Gregory McMichael, 65; and William “Roddie” Bryan, 52, were found guilty for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery.
On February 23, 2020, Arbery, a 25-year-old black man, was out for a jog in a suburb outside of Brunswick, Georgia, when he stopped to look around a house that was under construction. Gregory and Travis, a father and son who lived in another home on that street, saw Arbery and pursued him in their white Ford pickup truck, armed with guns, because they believed he was the suspect of a recent burglary in the area. Bryan, the McMichaels’s neighbor, saw them chasing Arbery and followed in his truck.
When the men caught up to Arbery, Travis shot and killed Arbery, while Gregory watched and Bryan filmed on his phone camera.
The McMichaels and Bryan were charged with a nine-count indictment, including one count of malice murder, four counts of felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault, one count of false imprisonment, and one count of criminal attempt to commit a felony.
The jury found Travis guilty on all nine counts, including malice murder and felony murder. Gregory was found guilty of eight of the nine; he was acquitted on the count of malice murder. Bryan was found guilty of three counts of felony murder, one count of aggravated assault, one count of false imprisonment, and one count of criminal attempt to commit a felony.

Reports are coming out Aubrey was known as the “jogger” due to reported thefts from various stores while “jogging”. This was not allowed to be introduced as evidence by the judge.
In the meantime, Biden is burning down the country little by little.
“When the men caught up to Arbery, Travis shot and killed Arbery”
Yes, AFTER the suspect attacked him while he was standing outside his pickup truck WITH A GUN. The suspect has previously resisted arrest in 2013 causing injury to officers, and resisted arrest again in 2018 after stealing a TV set from a store.
INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER maybe, but NO WAY IT WAS MURDER.
Apparently the jury, who actually sat in the court and heard the evidence and testimony, saw it differently than you do.

Yes, AFTER he was attacked. Not manslaughter either. Self-defense. BTW, I didn't know about his previous crimes.
Agenda driven "news". See Tagline.
They are still idiots who killed a man over NOTHING
dint the defense say he long toenails? doesn’t sound like a runner to me...
Again the man with the long gun got to close to the bad guy while holding the gun.... Too easy for the gun to be grabbed. Inexperienced good guy against an evidently experienced thug.
Self-defense...the deceased was attempting to steal a loaded firearm from a citizen
An excellent jury decision !
There's no evidence he stole anything.
I'm not saying the guy is an angel, but nonetheless, there's nothing to say he was committing crimes, other than trespassing on construction sites (something I'm guilty of).
The jury was scared all white people, and I believe one black, already being filmed and threatened, as well as threats to the town.
So was the Kenosha jury, isn’t it just possible that this jury came to the right decision. Again, I’m going to trust the jury that was in courtroom, not the arm chair jurors like you who don’t like the verdict in this case.
Yes, there is more to this story.
I recall watching a video (now a broken link), of Aubrey actually checking out, or checking through the inside of the new construction.
Additionally there is this -
“In 2013, then 19-year-old Ahmaud Arbery, who was not a student at the school where the incident occurred, brought a loaded gun to a high school basketball game. And one of the suspects now charged in his death was involved in the subsequent investigation.
News 4 Jax reported in 2013:
“A quick acting police officer in Brunswick stopped a teenager with a loaded gun from entering a high school basketball game Tuesday night.
Police arrested 19-year-old Ahmaud Marquez Avery[sic] (pictured below), who is not a student at Brunswick.”
“The man ran through the parking lot. I tried to get him to stop as well. He would not stop for us,” said Glynn County Schools Chief of Police, Rod Ellis. “We ended up chasing him to the back of the school were other officers helped us apprehend him.”
Ellis said the .380 caliber semi-automatic handgun slipped out of the teen’s pants.
A parent, who did not want to be identified, told Channel 4 he saw the gun as he was about to enter the school gym. He said police were everywhere.
“They were trying to keep everyone calm and away from the gun that was on the ground. They wouldn’t let anyone in or out of the gym,” said the parent.
The basketball game continued without interruption while police arrested Avery.
“The main thing is we stopped him from getting into the event,” Ellis said. “We don’t know what his intentions were but you know it’s never a good combination when you bring a weapon to a school event clearly when it’s posted that you can’t.”
At Friday night’s basketball game, Chief Ellis said they added more officers and from now on, every person will be scanned with a metal detecting wand.
Police said Avery[sic] is out of jail on bond.
Two of the police officers suffered injuries. One has been treated for a fractured hand.
On the incident:
Waycross Judicial Circuit District Attorney George Barnhill revealed Greg McMichael’s ties to the victim in a letter recusing himself from the case — because his own son had a connection to Arbery, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
McMichael, 64, a former Glynn County cop who worked as an investigator in the Brunswick DA’s office, helped prosecute Arbery in the past, Barnhill said.
When Arbery, 25, was in high school, he was sentenced to five years’ probation as a first offender on charges of carrying a weapon on campus, and several counts of obstructing a law enforcement officer, the paper reported.
[As seen, Arbery was not a student at the school.]
In 2018, he was convicted of a probation violation after he was charged with shoplifting, according to court documents obtained by the outlet.
McMichael, who retired from the DA’s office in April 2019, never referenced his work on that probe to cops, according to the report. The DA learned about the ties “three or four weeks” earlier, he said.
McMichael claimed to cops he recognized Arbery from surveillance video capturing a recent burglary in his mostly white neighborhood — and that he intended to make a citizen’s arrest, the paper reported.

…
Before recusing himself, Barnhill wrote that his office did “not see grounds for an arrest” of Greg and his son, Travis McMichael, 34, according to WJXT.
“It appears Travis McMichael, Greg McMichael and [neighbor] William Bryan were following in hot pursuit of a burglary suspect with solid first-hand probable cause,” Barnhill wrote in a letter to Glynn County police Capt. Tom Jump. “Arbery initiated the fight. … At that point, Arbery grabbed the shotgun (that Travis McMichael was holding). Under Georgia law, McMichael was allowed to use deadly force to protect himself.”
Investigators have not provided any proof that Arbery was responsible for any burglaries, according to the report.”

The other 2 should not be sentenced to the same length as the shooter!!!!~
I could only bear to listen to an hour of whatever time he spent on the stand tying the knots around his own neck and the other two. What an idiot.
Yes. And yet, the media only keeps showing that ONE photo of him, in the tux, to propagandize him as an upstanding citizen, “a guu’ boy, whodinduNUFFIN’ “!
