3 Men Convicted in Ahmaud Arbery's Death Found Guilty of Federal Hate Crime

The three white men accused of violating Ahmaud Arbery's civil rights and targeting him because he was Black were convicted of a federal hate crime on Tuesday in Brunswick, Georgia, the Associated Press reported.

Father and son Greg and Travis McMichael and their neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan had been charged with attempted kidnapping and interference with rights, which is a hate crime, CNN reported. Prosecutors had alleged that they targeted Arbery because of his race.

The defendants were found guilty on all counts, and the McMichaels were also convicted of an additional charge for using and carrying a firearm during a violent crime, according to CNN.

The McMichaels and Bryan have all already been convicted of murder for Arbery's death and sentenced to life in prison. All three men had pleaded not guilty to the charges in the hate crimes trial, AP reported.
