America’s Black Murders: Three men are found guilty after a month-long trial. (File)
Washington:
Three white men were found guilty of murder Wednesday for fatally shooting a Black man in the southern US state of Georgia after chasing him in their pickup truck.
Travis McMichael, who shot Ahmaud Arbery, his father, Gregory, and their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan, participating in the chase, were all found guilty of murder after a month-long trial.
A jury in Brunswick, Georgia, deliberated for less than 12 hours before convicting the men on multiple counts of murder and other charges.
A graphic video of the unarmed shooting of Arbery has gone viral on social media and fueled protests against racial injustice last year over the murder of George Floyd, a black man. 46 years old black, by a white police officer in Minnesota.
