It's a clean sweep for federal prosecutors and the family of Ahmaud Arbery as a jury finds his killers guilty of all federal hate crime charges.
Travis McMichael, Greg McMichael, and William "Roddie" Bryan had already been convicted of chasing and killing Arbery on February 23, 2020, in south Georgia. They were already serving life sentences and could receive up to life in prison for the federal convictions.
The McMichaels each faced a weapons charge for carrying and using a firearm while committing a violent crime. All 3 were charged with interference with Arbery's rights, which is a federal hate crime, and attempted kidnapping.
Wednesday, February 23, marks 2 years since Arbery was gunned downed in broad daylight on a street in a neighborhood near Brunswick, GA. The young man's life will be celebrated forever in Georgia after the state House of Representatives recently passed a resolution naming February 23 as 'The Ahmaud Arbery Day'.
