Ahmaud Arbery’s Killers Seek to Overturn Hate Crime Convictions [Video]

We should’ve seen this day coming: when the three white men serving prison time in the murder of Ahmaud Arbery seek to overturn their hate crime convictions by insisting the killing wasn’t racially motivated.

In 2020, Greg McMichael and his son, Travis, chased down Arbery as he jogged through an Atlanta neighborhood. Neighborhood resident William Bryan joined them in his own vehicle and recorded the moment Travis hopped out of his car and fatally shot Arbery at close range. The goons told the police they assumed Arbery was looting a nearby home that was under construction.

Now, why would they assume this Black man minding his business was a criminal? You guessed it: racism. However, CBS News reports the trio is looking to dispute that claim in an appeal to overturn their hate crime convictions.

Except prosecutors brought a lot of evidence suggesting the men were aggressively anti-Black.
