The men who were convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery are due to be sentenced to life in prison on Friday. Under Georgia law, the only question before the judge in the sentencing hearing is whether to allow any of the 3 men to seek parole after 30 years
- The three white men who were convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man running through their coastal Georgia neighborhood in 2020, are due to be sentenced to life in prison on Friday.
A jury found Gregory McMichael, 66, his son Travis McMichael, 35, and their neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan, 52, guilty in late November of murder, aggravated assault, false imprisonment and criminal intent to commit a felony. "Obviously we're going to argue for life with the possibility of parole," said Frank Hogue, a lawyer for the elder McMichael. "Practically, that doesn't mean much of a difference for a 65-year-old man."
Bryan joined the chase in his own pickup truck after it passed his driveway, and pulled out his cellphone to record Travis McMichael firing a shotgun at Arbery at close range. Arbery had nothing on him besides his running clothes and sneakers.
