Travis McMichael, the white man who fatally shot Ahmaud Arbery, was sentenced to life in prison for committing a federal hate crime.The three White men who killed Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black jogger, are appealing their federal hate crime convictions, with two of the three arguing the government did not prove they chased the young man because of his race.
"The evidence against Bryan did not present a man who saw the world through a prism of racism. He was not obsessed with African Americans such as his codefendant Travis McMichael," Defense attorney J. Pete Theodocion, who filed an appeal on behalf of Bryan, wrote in the filing. Arbery was shot dead on February 23, 2020, while he was out on a jog -- something he was known to do, according to his loved ones -- in the Satilla Shores neighborhood, outside the city of Brunswick in south Georgia.
