Closing arguments continued Tuesday in the murder trial of three white men — Gregory McMichael, his son Travis McMichael and William “Roddie” Bryan Jr. — who are accused of murdering 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man, while he was out on a jog near his home town of Brunswick, Georgia, in February last year.
Georgia?
11 white jurors?
Fait accompli…
Dad was a cop, so, traditionally they both go home.
Ginning up Red’s Coast Guard Service was, to them, pushing plausibility far enough over the line.
“You can’t start it and claim self-defense,” she said. “And they started this.”
Instead of confronting him they should have shot him in the back as he was running away. That would have assured an acquittal.
I think the prosecution is doing a masterful job. Sadly…I’m afraid carefully constructed logic with loads of proof is beyond the 11 whites on the jury.
I hope to be proven wrong.
Words fail…
