BRUNSWICK, Ga. — Travis McMichael stared straight ahead Thursday afternoon as jurors were shown graphic photos taken during Ahmaud Arbery’s autopsy.
Dr. Edmund Donoghue, the renowned forensic pathologist who conducted Arbery’s examination the day after he was killed, walked them through the grievous injuries the 25-year-old suffered after being twice shot at close range during a struggle over McMichael’s 12-gauge shotgun.
As he testified in the last year’s state trial, Donoghue explained that the first shotgun blast alone would have killed Arbery, who fell dead in the street after being chased through the Satilla Shores neighborhood just outside Brunswick for about five minutes.
