Three white men convicted of the murder of Ahmaud Arbery in 2020 are seeking a new trial. Greg McMichael, Travis McMichael, and William “Roddie” Bryan are making various arguments for a new trial, including claims of a tainted jury and ineffective counsel. The trio chased and killed Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man, after suspecting him of theft in a Georgia subdivision.

The pursuit ended with Travis McMichael fatally shooting Arbery at close range, an act captured on Bryan's cellphone video. The case gained national attention after a delay in arrests and the release of the video online. The men argued self-defense during the trial, but evidence showed Arbery had not committed any crimes in the neighborhood.
