"They each have no remorse and do not deserve any leniency," Wanda Cooper-Jones, Arbery's mother, told Walmsley."This wasn't a case of mistaken identity or mistaken fact. They chose to target my son because they didn't want him in their community. They chose to treat him differently than other people who frequently visited their community, and when they couldn't sufficiently scare him or intimidate him, they killed him.
