Brunswick: None of the three white people charged to the murder of Ahmaud Arbery had a reason to arrest citizens when they saw it in their environment, according to a prosecutor who said Monday to close the argument that the defendants decided to pursue him a leather man Black who ran down their path “part of a larger and national racial calculation after the video graphics of his death leaked online two months later.
Even though prosecutors did not argue that racism motivated murder, the federal authority had demanded the three men with racial crimes, accused them pursued.
and kill Arber because he was black.
Greg and Travis’s father and son of McMichael won weapons and chased Arbery, 25, in a pickup truck after seeing him running the neighborhood on February 23, 2020.
A neighbor, William “ Roddie ” Bryan, Join Chase and Record Video Trav Is McMichael opened a shot when Arbery threw a blow and grabbed his rifle.
Nothing was charged to the murder until the video of Bryan leaked and the Georgian investigation bureau took over the case of the local police.
The three men face the number of murders and other charges.
Linda Dunikoski’s prosector told the jury that the defendants had no proof of Arbery have committed crimes in their environment, but instead acting based on assumptions based on environmental gossip and speculative social media posts.
“They made the decision to attack Ahmaud Arber on their entrance because he was a black man who ran down their way,” Dunikoski said.
He added: “ they shoot and kill him.
Not because he is a threat to them.
But because he won’t stop and talk to them.
“The defense lawyer said the men suspected Arbery had broken into the house being built and intended to hold him back until the police arrived until the police arrived until the police arrived until the police arrived.
Security cameras recorded it in the house five times between October 2019 and Arbery’s day was killed.
There is no video that shows him to steal or damage anything.
Dunikoski said McMichaels and Bryan chased Arbery for five minutes, using their truck to cut it, hit him from the road and prevent him from escaping.
And he repeated the words Greg Michael told the local police after the shooting that Arbery `was trapped like a mouse.
“Bryan recorded Travis McMichael standing with a rifle outside the side of the driver’s side truck, then ran the passenger side.
They met in front of the truck, which blocked the camera’s view, when Travis McMichael fired the first rifle explosion.
The video shows Arber punching him and won a gun when two shots were fired, then Arbery turned to try to run again before falling down on the road.
Dunikoski noted Arbery never threatened McMichaels during pursuit, and he did not carry weapons.
“ You can’t bring a gun to fistfight.
It’s not fair, right? “” The prosecutor said.
He said it Travis McMichael who attacked Arbery _ first with his truck, then by pointing to his rifle when Arbery ran towards him.
“ They can’t claim self defense under the law because they are early aggressors and cannot be justified, “ Dunikoski say, “ and they start this.
“Arbery has enrolled in a technical college and is preparing to learn.
An electrician like his uncle when he was killed.
McMichaels told the police that they suspected Arber was a thief because the security camera had recorded it several times in a house that had not been finished on their way.
