BRUNSWICK, Ga. — Dan Allcott was home with his wife and young daughter two years ago when he heard the shotgun blasts.
At first, the physical therapist thought it may have been a car wreck. Then his wife noticed the body of a young man lying in the road just outside their house.
Testimony began Tuesday in the federal hate crimes trial of Travis McMichael, his father, Greg, and their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan. The men were convicted of Ahmaud Arbery’s murder in a state trial last fall and are now accused of targeting the 25-year-old because he was Black.
