Good verdict for sure. But it is still crazy how the cops ignored the murder for weeks until the video went viral. If fuck head no. 3 hadn't been stupid enough to film the murder, these killers would have escaped justice.
That 1 prick taking the stand was not a wise decision either. Surprised his lawyers let him do it,, all he did was implicate the 3 to the point where guilty was the only verdict.
It's worth noting that this verdict was handed down by a jury of twelve, of which eleven jurors were white, in the State of Georgia. There are still a few reasons to have hope for this world.
^^^ Yep, what Ken said. Thank you, Mr. Bryan. This murder almost went unprosecuted. And these dumbasses, by their video and their testimony, screwed themselves. Good.
Hopefully some good comes of this. RIP Ahmaud. Gone too soon.
"Ex-Glynn County District Attorney Jackie Johnson turned herself in to the Glynn County Sheriff's office Wednesday morning, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, after a grand jury returned an indictment on counts of obstruction and violations of oath by a public officer last week. Johnson was released from the Glynn County Detention Center on a $10,000 bond, the paper reports. State prosecutors alleged that she used her position to delay arrests of the White men who chased and killed the 25-year-old Arbery.
Johnson was the county's top prosecutor when Arbery was fatally shot last year, and one of the armed men who pursued him had worked for her as an investigator. Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, a Republican, sought the indictment after requesting an investigation of possible misconduct by local prosecutors who failed to bring charges in the killing."
They still have to go through another trial on federal "hate crime" charges. And since defendant Bryan told police Travis called Ahmaud a "fu**ing n***er" as he lay dead, and the 911 call indicates the "emergency" is simply a black man running through the neighborhood, good luck. They're not going anywhere.
Grateful for the people in Georgia who stood against the grain of systemic racism and found a way to get this to a judge. People who stand up to the Jackie Johnson's in the system, who are still there. Just like there were federal employees who stood up to the corruption and actions of the former president. And grateful there wasn't a closet racist on the jury ready to gum up the works on what needed to be a unanimous verdict.
Judge Timothy Walmsley sentenced Travis McMichael, the man who shot Arbery, and his father Gregory McMichael, who watched the shooting from the back of a pickup truck, to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Their neighbor, William Bryan, who recorded video of Arbery’s last moments, was sentenced to life with parole for his role in the death. Bryan, 52, will not be eligible for parole under Georgia law until he has served 30 years in prison because he was convicted of serious violent felonies.
In addition to the life sentences for murder, Walmsley imposed additional sentences for other felony charges.
The additional sentences are:
For Travis McMichael, 35, Walmsley imposed additional imprisonment sentences of 20 years for McMichael’s aggravated assault conviction and five years for his criminal attempt to commit a felony conviction. The judge said the additional sentences will be served concurrent to each other but consecutive to the life sentence, totaling a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole plus 20 additional years in prison.
For Gregory McMichael, the judge imposed additional imprisonment sentences of 20 years for McMichael’s aggravated assault conviction, 10 years for his false imprisonment conviction, and five years for his criminal attempt to commit a felony conviction. The judge said the additional sentences will be served concurrent to each other but consecutive to the life sentence, totaling a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole plus 20 additional years in prison.
For William “Roddie” Bryan Jr., the judge imposed additional imprisonment sentences of 10 years for his false imprisonment conviction and five years for his criminal attempt to commit a felony conviction. The judge ruled that the additional sentence totaling 15 years will be suspended, resulting in a total sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole.
I'm an amazed that three white men deep in the heart of Dixie get there just rewards where in Wisconsin that 17 year unlisenced gun toter gets off on murder mostly due to judicial intervention.
