BRUNSWICK, Ga. — Eight white people, three Black people and one Hispanic person have been chosen to serve as jurors in the federal hate crimes trial of three men convicted of Ahmaud Arbery’s murder.
The final jury panel was selected Monday morning in the case against Travis McMichael, Greg McMichael and William “Roddie” Bryan. Opening statements are to begin Monday afternoon by the prosecution and the lawyers representing the three defendants.
U.S. District Judge Lisa Godbey Wood wrapped up a week of jury selection by bringing in two final groups of prospective jurors for questioning ahead of the trial. She then let the prosecution and the defense exercise their strikes to arrive at 12 jurors and four alternates.
