Two of the three men convicted of chasing down and murdering Ahmaud Arbery, an unarmed Black man, in the US state of Georgia have withdrawn their guilty pleas and will face trial in a federal hate crime case.
In a brief hearing in United States District Court in Brunswick, Georgia on Friday, Travis McMichael said he would withdraw his guilty plea and proceed to trial on Monday alongside his father, Gregory McMichael, and their neighbour, William “Roddie” Bryan.
