A jury has found the three White men who killed Ahmaud Arbery in 2020 guilty of all charges in their federal hate crimes trial, backing prosecutors' case that the men chased the 25-year-old through the streets of a Georgia neighborhood because he was Black.
Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael and their neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan were found guilty of interference of rights, a federal hate crime; and attempted kidnapping.
The verdict comes nearly two years to the day that Arbery was killed in a neighborhood outside Brunswick on February 23, 2020. And it's months after the three were convicted in a state court in November of murder.
