Three Men Are Found Guilty of Murdering Ahmaud Arbery

BRUNSWICK, Ga. — Three white men were found guilty of murder and other charges on Wednesday for the pursuit and fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man, in a case that, together with the killing of George Floyd, helped inspire the racial justice protests of last year.

The three defendants — Travis McMichael, 35; his father, Gregory McMichael, 65; and their neighbor William Bryan, 52 — face sentences of up to life in prison. The men have also been indicted on separate federal charges, including hate crimes and attempted kidnapping, and are expected to stand trial in February on those charges. ...

Convicting the killers is a step forward. But how about we stop the killing.

As noted elsewhere and in currently circulating memes, The MicMichaels were not arrested, nor considered "flight risks", nor were charges initially pursued in the matter. In an official statement by Glynn County, GA:

[O]fficers were advised by the DA’s office that no arrests were necessary at the time. Detectives met with DA George Barnhill, Sr. of the Waycross Judicial Circuit the following day and reviewed their findings with him. DA Barnhill, Sr. advised detectives before noon on Feb. 24, that the act was justifiable homicide.

It was public outcry which led to justice being served, though Ahmaud Arbery remains dead, victim of murder.
