Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael and William Bryan Guilty Of Murder In Ahmaud Arbery’s Killing
The jury in the trial of the three white men charged in Ahmaud Arbery’s death reached a verdict Wednesday after more than 10 hours of deliberation.
A Georgia jury has found Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael, and William Bryan guilty of murder and other charges including malice murder, aggravated assault, false imprisonment, and criminal attempt to commit a felony.
The decision comes just days after a jury in Kenosha, Wisconsin, acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse for killing two men and wounding another during protests against police brutality last year.

Al Sharpton to a throng outside of the courtroom after the verdict. “Thank the parents… they lost a son but their son will go down in history that if they hold on, justice will come. Let the word go forth that a jury of 11 whites and 1 white in the deep south stood up in a courtroom and said that ‘Black Lives Matter.’”
