Ahmaud Arbery

Travis McMichael, who fatally shot Ahmaud Arbery, was sentenced Monday to life in prison for committing a federal hate crime.

He also recorded cellphone video of Travis McMichael shooting Arbery at close range as Arbery threw punches and grabbed at the shotgun. A woman testified to hearing an angry rant from Greg McMichael in 2015 in which he said: “All those Blacks are nothing but trouble.” All three men were also found guilty of attempted kidnapping, and the McMichaels face additional penalties for using firearms to commit a violent crime. Arbery’s family has insisted the McMichaels and Bryan should serve their sentences in a state prison, arguing a federal penitentiary wouldn’t be as tough. Still, more than two months passed before any charges were filed in Arbery’s death. The McMichaels armed themselves with guns and jumped in a truck to chase Arbery after spotting him running past their home outside the port city of Brunswick on Feb. 23, 2020.

Travis McMichael fears for his life in a state prison, Copeland said, telling the court his client had received "hundreds" of threats. The defense also argued Travis McMichael shot Arbery in self-defense as they wrestled over McMichael's shotgun. Prosecutors acknowledged Arbery had entered the home in the past, but he never took anything. She and other members of Arbery's family asked the judge to give Travis McMichael the maximum possible sentence under federal guidelines. "I didn't want to believe that, because me as a mother, I could never accompany my son to do any type of crime." The judge ruled both McMichaels did not have the funds to pay a fine.

Speaking to Arbery’s family, he said: “I’m sure that my words mean very little to you, but I want to assure you I never wanted any of this to happen. They were convicted in federal court in February of attempted kidnapping, a weapons violation and violently interfering with Arbery’s right to use a public street because he was Black. Travis McMichael declined to speak in during his sentencing hearing. That means the father and son will likely spend the rest of their lives in state prison. “You are a better wife than I deserve,” he said. Bryan has argued he deserves a lesser sentence than his neighbors in part because, unlike them, he was not armed when he pursued Arbery.

Travis and Greg McMichael will serve out their sentence for the murder of Arbery in state prison, not federal prison, a judge ruled.

He assured them "there was no malice in my heart" on that February day. Arbery's aunt, Ruby Arbery, said to the court Monday morning of Travis McMichael. She asked that the defendants serve their sentences in state prison. His lawyer argued he would be facing a "backdoor death penalty" by going to state prison. He also apologized to his son and to his wife. What did you think Ahmaud was when you chased him down?" A federal judge handed down another life sentence to Travis and Greg McMichael, two of three white men already in prison after being convicted in a state court for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery.

En febrero, un jurado federal condenó a los McMichael y a su vecino William “Roddie” Bryan por violar los derechos civiles de Arbery y concluyó que lo atacaron por su raza. Wood declaró que McMichael recibió “un juicio justo... Desafortunadamente, su disculpa no trae de vuelta a mi hijo”, subrayó. Bryan se les unió a la persecución en su propia camioneta y filmó con su teléfono celular el momento en que Travis McMichael le disparó a Arbery con una escopeta. Los McMichael se armaron con pistolas y usaron una camioneta pickup para perseguir a Arbery cuando éste pasó corriendo frente a su vivienda el 23 de febrero de 2020. “Estoy seguro de que lo que diga significa muy poco para ustedes, pero quiero asegurarles que nunca quise que nada de esto sucediera”, dijo.

La sentencia de Gregory McMichael se produjo horas después de que su hijo, Travis, recibiera una segunda condena a cadena perpetua más 10 años en el mismo tribunal de Georgia por los mismos cargos federales. La defensa también argumentó que Travis McMichael disparó a Arbery en defensa propia mientras luchaban por la escopeta de McMichael. Bryan se unió a la persecución en su propia camioneta después de ver a los McMichael seguir a Arbery en su camioneta mientras corría; Bryan grabó video del tiroteo. Travis McMichael, su padre Gregory McMichael y su vecino William "Roddie" Bryan fueron declarados culpables en febrero de interferencia con los derechos —un delito federal de odio— e intento de secuestro en relación con el asesinato del hombre negro de 25 años en 2020, y el jurado aceptó el argumento de los fiscales de que los acusados actuaron por animadversión racial hacia Arbery.

In February, a federal jury convicted the McMichaels and neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan of violating Arbery’s civil rights, concluding they targeted him because of his race.

The McMichaels were previously sentenced to life without parole in state court for Arbery’s murder and had asked the judge to divert them to a federal prison to serve their sentences, saying they were worried about their safety in the state prison system. In February, a federal jury convicted the McMichaels and Bryan of violating Arbery’s civil rights, concluding they targeted him because of his race. Bryan, a neighbor, joined the pursuit in his own truck and recorded cellphone video of Travis McMichael shooting Arbery with a shotgun. All three defendants have remained jailed in coastal Glynn County, in the custody of U.S. marshals, while awaiting sentencing after their federal convictions. Only Travis McMichael, who fired the fatal shots, chose to remain silent when given a chance to speak in court. The McMichaels told police they suspected Arbery was a burglar, but investigators determined he was unarmed and had committed no crimes. “I’m sure my words mean very little to you, but I want to assure you I never wanted any of this to happen,” he said. “Protecting civil rights and combatting white supremacist violence was a founding purpose of the Justice Department, and one that we will continue to pursue with the urgency it demands.” I’m so thankful God gave us the strength to continue to fight.” William “Roddie” Bryan, 52, who recorded cellphone video of the slaying, was sentenced to 35 years in prison.
