Jay-Z and Alicia Keys sign Roc Nation letter demanding justice for Ahmaud Arbery
The letter listed several demands in order to ensure a fair trial. Among them, Team Roc called for Durden to recuse himself from the case because Gregory McMichael is a former police officer, which the group called “a clear conflict of interest.” Instead, the group requested a special prosecutor be appointed by Attorney General Carr. The letter also called for William Bryan, the McMichaels’ neighbor, to be charged as an armed accomplice.
“As a society, we can no longer pretend that the racial inequalities which exist in every facet of our lives, don’t invariably lead down the path to poverty, violence and death,” Team Roc’s letter read. “To even think about breaking this cycle we need you to protect the process and preserve the fairness of the trial.
The letter continued: “Ahmaud was a loving son, a brother and a positive role model in the community. He was a human being. He was also African-American which, sadly, means that he was a target. Still. And, on this Mother’s Day — just two days after what would have been Ahmaud’s 26th birthday — we simply cannot and will not stand for another black mother who must spend the day mourning the loss of her black son because of the color of his skin.
