Attorneys scheduled to give closing arguments in the murder trial of three white men charged in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery.
Defendant Gregory McMichael looks on during his trial at the Glynn County Courthouse, Friday, Nov. 19, 2021, in Brunswick, Ga. Greg McMichael and his son, Travis McMichael, and a neighbor, William"Roddie" Bryan are charged with the February 2020 slaying of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys were expected to spend hours making their final cases to the disproportionately white jury. The jurors heard 10 days of trial testimony that concluded last week, not long after the man who shot Arbery testified he pulled the trigger in self-defense. No one was charged in the killing until Bryan's video leaked online two months later and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation took over the case from local police. All three men face counts of murder and other charges.
