The final jury selected in the trial over Ahmaud Arbery's killing consists of 11 white women, three white men and one Black man.
UpdatedBRUNSWICK, Ga. — Just one person of color will sit on the jury to determine whether three white men are guilty of murdering a Black 25-year-old who was jogging through this small, predominantly white coastal neighborhood last year.
It was not immediately clear which members of the panel were designated as jurors versus alternates, but attorneys in the courtroom Wednesday stated the one Black juror was seated on the jury. The jury consists of at least two retired law enforcement and one retired military officer, one former and one current nurse, a clinician and a counselor. Another has a background in psychology.
The woman said she was once robbed at gunpoint. She said she knows someone who had a negative experience with law enforcement. She has family members who work in law enforcement as well as a family member who was previously arrested.She said she believes police may not treat people of color and white people equally."I think a lot of times they profile" Black people, she said. "There's probably a lot of facts that the public is not aware of, too.
