Three White men convicted of federal hate crimes charges in slaying

Three White men convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery were found guilty of federal hate crimes charges Tuesday in a Georgia courtroom.

The jury of eight White people, three Black people and one Hispanic person deliberated for less than five hours after a one-week trial.

Prosecutor Christopher Perras argued that Travis McMichael, his father, Greg McMichael, and their neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan acted out of "pent-up racial anger" when they chased and killed Arbery, 25, after spotting the Black man on a jog near their homes in Satilla Shores, outside of Brunswick.

The men were also convicted of attempted kidnapping, and the McMichaels were found guilty of using a firearm in the commission of a crime.
