The three white men accused of violating Ahmaud Arbery's civil rights and targeting him because he was Black were convicted of a federal hate crime on Tuesday in Brunswick, Georgia, the Associated Press reported.
The McMichaels and Bryan have all already been convicted of murder for Arbery's death and sentenced to life in prison. All three men had pleaded not guilty to the charges in the hate crimes trial, APIn February of 2020, the McMichaels grabbed guns and pursued Arbery in a pickup truck after seeing him running in their Georgia neighborhood. Bryan joined the father and son in his own pickup and ultimately took the cellphone video of Travis McMichael fatally shooting Arbery, AP reported.
Defense attorneys argued that the defendants didn't pursue and kill Arbery because of his race, but because of their suspicion, albeit a false one, that Arbery was responsible for crimes in their neighborhood.
