A US judge has sentenced father and son Gregory and Travis McMichael to life in prison for federal hate crime in the 2020 murder of Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man fatally shot after jogging in a suburban Georgia neighbourhood.
US District Judge Lisa Godbey Wood also sentenced the two men’s neighbour and co-defendant William “Roddie” Bryan to 35 years in the coastal Georgia city of Brunswick on Monday. All three were found guilty of violating Arbery’s civil rights because of his race earlier this year.
