- The three men convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery were be sentenced in Glynn County Friday. A jury found the three white men accused of killing Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man, guilty on most of the 29 charges they faced the day before Thanksgiving.
More trial coverage, here: www.11alive.co...
Arbery was shot and killed on Feb. 23, 2020. Cellphone video leaked to the public shows two armed white men in a truck approaching the 25-year-old Black man as he runs down the road. One of the men, later identified as Travis McMichael, and Arbery struggle over McMichael's shotgun before Arbery is shot and collapses.
Travis McMichael, his father Gregory McMichael and William "Roddy" Bryan, who recorded the video, are all charged with murder in Arbery's death.

Just think, there were ELECTED Officials in Offices of POWER who were covering this up to make sure it never went to Trial, those Officials should be on trial next.
Also a coverup in Darrell Brooks case
Amen!
exactly!
Facts!
Now let's get there ass out of office
This judge is one of the most sincere, honest decent human being on this planet, God bless you sir, you are a fair and decent man.
How so 😷
@@cindyruiz7434 figure it out.
@@jasminemobay7510cause I say the truth. 😇
Because the judge is a coward who sentenced 3 innocent men to life in prison to prevent a riot? Yeah...great guy.
@@at0micwerew0lf those men murdered an innocent man in cold blood...you are an evil devil 👿
"He went for a run and ended up running for his life." Chilling words from the Judge. Accountability at last.
So so true...👍
The judge was biased against the McMichaels the whole trial . He should be ashamed.
@@captinbeyond Oh, like the Judge and jury and the whole system was bias in Emmett Till's trial... I hear you
@@captinbeyond Go tell that to the marines ... Mtcheew
He was stealing/scoping job sites lol, nobody is jogging in timberlands
This is what our judicial system should be like,no matter what race or color,this judge showed fairness and did not take sides!! This judge did it by the book and no favoritism!!!!
And no matter whether filmed or not! 🥺
A question, is the victim dead? Then the perpetrator or perpetrators should be too
Its it racist because he was scared to give another sentence because they are white
@@grimsquad273 Angry mob??? I see no one angry, just supporters who appreciate the deliverance of justice and accountability. You see a group of black folks and assume the worst. You haven’t learned from these three fools or anything that the judge stated. You’re just angry about the verdict and sentencing. Do us all a favor and join them.
@@Hunee- well said ✊🏽
This story doesn't end until the DA answers for what she did
I'm looking forward to the case against her. Hopefully she is found guilty. 🙏🏾
This judge is everything.. he kept it very professional… we need to praise fair judges like him.. he seem to have no political side. And just follows the law
For real. It's crazy how politics taints our perceptions. Even with video evidence. This judge and jury did it right. You only have to have eyes to see what they did to that poor young man. It's a pity that justice is always so bittersweet, because some wrongs can simply never been made right.
@@Richard-ii7dk you're an idiot. The video speaks for itself. You aren't allowed to posse up and murder people you moron.
@@Richard-ii7dk think about what? The only facts we have are that a man was legally running in a place where he was legally allowed to be and that three men chased him down with guns for 5 minutes and then killed him. A murder took place, and the murderers got life in prison. This case is the most cut and dry instance of murder ever, it's on video too! You can see them assault him and threaten him and then shoot him down and leave him to die. They can claim any number of reasons for doing so, and perhaps things really did just get out of hand more than they intended, but their actions were evil and for their actions they were sentenced. You cannot mob up and murder people you don't know who are unarmed and not a threat just because they are jogging through your neighborhood you ignorant right wing troll.
@@Richard-ii7dk We are "thinking," Richard and we are laughing @ you. We let you down in school when you were young. We let you slide in school. Now you're all grown up. I am so sorry and I wished I could have done more in terms of school funding to help you when you needed it.
@@Richard-ii7dk well that's not what happened at all. You're delusional. They assaulted Arbery when they chased him with guns, period. When artery defended himself they murdered him in the street. That's what happened. That's what the video showed.
This judge is a stellar example of clear, professional decision making. And he has done everything related to this difficult trial in a way that demonstrates respectfulness to all involved. All judges (and justices) should follow his example of decorum.
We need more citizen oversight of judges,even one biased, racist judge is too many. We need to be able to remove the biased, RACIST, AGENDA filled ones from the bench quickly before they destroy more lives, especially the ones on the unsupreme court.john roberts is either delusional or a lying pos when he says judges are able to police themselves with no outside oversight.OUR FOUNDING FATHERS intended there to be CHECKS & BALANCES on ALL BRANCHES of OUR GOVERNMENT because NO HUMAN BEING IS ABOVE the POSSIBILITY of BEING WRONG or BECOMING CORRUPT. "POWER CORRUPTS & ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY" WE need OUR EXECUTIVE BRANCH ( President Biden) & OUR LEGISLATURE BRANCH NEED to STOP TREATING judges & "justices" as above reproach & untouchable & use their CONSTITUTIONAL CHECKS & BALANCES to STOP BIASED, RACIST, GREEDY CORRUPT " ACTIVIST" "judges" & " justices" from RUINING OUR DEMOCRACY & OUR CITIZENS LIVES. CALL the WHITE HOUSE, HOUSE & SENATE & TELL THEM WE WANT JUDICIAL REFORM JUST LIKE WE WANT POLICE REFORM!!! TELL THEM to DO THEIR JOBS & HOLD BIASED, RACIST, CORRUPT judges & justices ACCOUNTABLE!!!
It would have been perfect if this type of judge was in Wisconsin.
There are very few judges that follow the laws without prejudice
@@davidweyant9356 totally different. That kid was innocent, these three racists are not
@@fifedog1220 That kid was not innocent. He broke MULTIPLE laws even before he fired a shot. He wouldn’t have been attacked had he not walked around with an illegal weapon like some kind of idiot living out a video game fantasy.
"The dead cannot cry out for justice, it is the duty of the living to cry out for them." ~ Louise McMaster Bujold. This judge heard that cry and delivered a searing, chilling summary of the events and actions of the three murderers. He concluded with the most severe and just sentences that could be handed down. He deserves a tsunami of respect. His judicial actions throughout the trial speaks of the depth and richness of his character, his iron-clad integrity, his no-nonesense attitude, his singular fairness and his utmost respect for the law and his court room. Deep bow and honor to you, your Honor! I am so proud of you as a human being.
You put that quite well. I agree completely. I was going to post something to that effect. Thanks for saving me the trouble.

This is what happens when you make ignorant choices… and chasing people through your neighborhood, just for being in your neighborhood, with your loaded guns qualifies as being pretty damn ignorant.
Good saying mate !
Amen too that!
Your smart enough to use a cell phone, your smart enough to actually go study the background of the case. He wasn't "just in the neighborhood", they didn't go after him cause he was "just jogging"
@@Nope_handlesaretrash yet somehow you’re not smart enough to study the difference between you’re and your. even if Ahmaud had done something wrong, whose first thought is to go chasing after someone down a residential zone with a fucking loaded gun?? that’s fucking insane, i swear people like you that defend this are just as psychotic.
@@Nope_handlesaretrash yea your right. They went after him because he was black..and jogging in the neighborhood. They called him a nigger while he was there bleeding and dying. Did you hear that part of the case ass clown? Yea I. Sure you didn't. You can sit and cherry pick all day about criminal history blah blah blah. The fact remains. There both guilty. Go cry somewhere else
The sad part is if this situation wasn’t recorded they probably would have laughed it off.
Sadly this happened to black people all the time in the 1960s and they laughed it off.
The real sad part is that they walked free for more than a month and the case was buried because of a corrupt DA. This wouldn't have even been a blip on the map if it was left to law enforcement, thankfully it went viral which is when they were finally arrested.
They did laugh it off
Yes!! My aunt said the samething
Yep
If this happened in every case like this…things would most *definitely* change!!
Showing that *NOBODY* is above the law sets a standard for how America *SHOULD* operate!!
No it wouldn't.
Yes.... the murderers have been held accountable atp, but we need to remember the original prosecutors who let them get away with it for so long!!!
Jackie Johnson and George E Barnhill, MUST go down as well. Ahmaud wouldn't have had justice if those two had their way. And many other racist, biased prosecutors lurk in a lot of our counties. #RIPAhmaud and RIP to those whose names who were buried that we will never know... 🙏🏿

This judge gave a masterclass in how to be a judge, not because of the sentencing, but how he handled the case from the beginning up to this point.

@@davefrench6701 actually it was the same . Kyle was running away from people chasing him but he got lucky and killed them .

Quote that 14th Amendment. "Equal protection" of laws. APTTMH🙏🏽
Agreed, I think he did a great job on the case. Was very even keeled, never tried to take control of the spotlight, but did not take shit from either legal team and always maintained control of the courtroom.
@Chris Reed Hurt
@Chris Reed racist! This murder is an issue because the first DA let me go because they were white men and were former police officers.
Outstanding judge and outstanding prosecutor. Both should be commended. Trial was very fair. White prosecutor, White judge, White criminals, White police... and yet the trial was fair and sentence was just. Georgia has come of age at last. Hurrah for this court. Democracy is alive and well in Georgia. Good reporting and coverage.
My condolences to Ahmaud Arbery's parents and family. I stand with them and all African-Americans today. Justice was served. Thank god!
Unfortunately there is the fact that this happened.
Yes indeed! Also a huge Blessing to the African American community that kept the heat on the original prospecting office & police to make the arrest, if not they would have continued to LIE on Ahmaud and to his family while the murders walked free! 👏🏾💕

@@Richard-ii7dk 🤡🤡🤡 are you really trying to justify 1st degree murder!!! Ya racist get real bold on the internet
@@Richard-ii7dk if you followed the trial or read the Georgia self defense statue you would know the answer.
@@Richard-ii7dk so does that mean you understand what "commission of a felony" as it relates to Georgia self defense laws?
@@Richard-ii7dk two reasons why your arguments are dead in the water:
1) in order for there to be a CRIME of burglary, there has to be a VICTIM of burglary. Who's property did Arbery burglarized? Mr English and Officer Rash testified they were planning to have Arbery TRESPASSED. Officer Rash testified that he informed Mr English that in order to investigate Arbery for burglary, Mr English had to contact the Brunswick Criminal Investigative Division and make a FORMAL complaint of his property being burglarized. The BCID would then assign a detective to investigate the case. MR ENGLISH DECLINED TO DO SO. All he wanted was Arbery trespassed.
If you don't have a VICTIM of burglary then you don't have a CRIME of burglary.
Not hard to understand
2) what does the Georgia citizens arrest statue say? A FELONY committed in your presence. Even if your opinion was true, who saw Arbery committing a felony?
This thing about "reasonable suspicion" and "immediate knowledge" also useless.
Why?
When law enforcement on the scene and in formal interviews 2 hours later asked Greg McMichael what Arbery did, he responded...
"That's just it...I DON'T KNOW"!
How can any fair minded jury legally conclude probable suspicion or immediate knowledge out of that statement from the defendant who initiated the confrontation with Arbery?
Again..not hard.
The Derrick Chauvin trial, the Rittenhouse trial took the jurors days to deliberate. It took the jurors less than 10 hours because they saw the evidence and they knew this was a slam dunk.
WHAT I LOVE IS THAT THEY DIDNT WANT ANY BLACK PEOPLE ON THE JURY BUT ONE MADE IT EVERYONE ELSE DIDN'T. THEY WERE FOUND GUILTY BY THEIR NEIGHBORS/JURY OF THEIR PEERS!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't understand how people just mess their lives up because of hate.
Don't you hate people that are breaking into homes in your area? Or you just bring them your computer and jewelry to take home
@@breakingames7772 Stay mad they shoudlve gotten the death penalty
@@breakingames7772 Again you are a true example of how lots of people in this country are blinded by hate. There was no proof he broke into that house. It wasn't a house and it didn't have a door and he didn't steal anything LIAR. Many whites were seen going into that construction site but no one harassed them. If you keep this mentality of hatred and superiority, you may end up in their shoes one day and you won't have access to that rifle in prison.
@@breakingames7772 he didn't do either and had every right to go for a run. The son knew that AA didn't commit the robberies in their neighborhood, he admitted on the stand that he knew the suspect who committed the crimes. Yet he and his father decided to take an innocent person's life. They will have plenty of time in prison to think about what they did.
Because of hate AND the inability to mind your own business or take the law into your own hands.
A judge like that should be on the Supreme Court. Clear in logic, knows the law, fair minded, sensitive.
This is how you represent humanity by viciously gunning down a young man in your neighborhood, while all the neighbors watched. That's a horrible place to live.
This judge is a fine specimen of a human being, God bless you sir.

The judge you’re praising has very likely done more to uphold systemic biases and injustice than any person you know. He’s likely locked away innocent people and upheld unjust laws. These sentences are draconian, even though I agree these are murderers. I hope if someone kills me they don’t get life without parole.

According to the judge it was because he initially participated in the chase and impediment of Arbery.
@@davidokinsky114 I seen three black teens get life without parole even though the police was the one who killed one of the teens. The judge said they were responsible for their friend death.
I don't even know where this judge stands politically on any issues, but he has the kind of character we need on the Supreme Court. I truly think he's the type of person with enough integrity and respect for the law and constitution that he could be trusted to make non-partisan, rational decisions for the good of the country.
The mindset of people these days can be frightening. These people with their sense of entitlement and lynch mob mentality cost the life of an innocent man and their very own freedom. AND let’s not forget abt their neighbors. The only thing that kept them from being involved is that they weren’t at home at the time.
Mob mentality is celebrated nowadays. Hell politicians will even start go fund mes for your defense as well
you do not know that,so why even say it
@@bmurp1201 Exactly, just making assumptions.
You apparently are no different than the defendants in this case. They made generalizations about Ahmaud who they knew nothing about and that cost him his life. You are making generalizations about all of their neighbors and what they would have done, and you know nothing about them except what your preconceived notions tell you. That is the mistake most people make, no matter what race or background you come from. I am guilty of it at times also. We as individuals, you and I included need to recognize our biases and then work to overcome them. That is the only way to build a better future.
Oh like the BLM and antifa mentality that killed dozens and cost the country 4.9 billion in looting and riot damages and sectioned off part of a city separate from the United States?

I would have to say these men got what they deserve . This man was not doing anything wrong and got murdered absolutely horrible . Justice was served...
I agree they got what they deserved. However, it was not established that he was doing NOTHING wrong. But regardless of what he was doing, these men murdered him
His crime was being black while running inside of a house under construction
Even though many white neighbors did the exact same thing, only he was targeted
It was racism, end of story
Racism is what costed arbery his life that day, but the killers didn't realize that they would also forfeit their own lives. The hatred they had for this man ended up destroying them too. Karma! Imagine being a father, and leading your son to ruin because you think you are superior to another man because of his background. They didn't chase the white people that went in that house, nor did they chase the white male/female couple that got caught stealing. But oh no, a black man decided to run away from them, we can't let that nīggēr get away with this let's get the strap and run him down, let's aim our guns at him, and then make Pikachu faces when a man we *chased* and *aimed firearms at* decided to *defend* himself from people *he didn't know* who were *trying to detain* him for a *crime*
Maybe now the good ol' boys will think twice before trying to pull this kind of stunt today. It's not 1965 anymore, this behavior won't be tolerated anymore. Stupid fools put a man in his grave, and in doing so, dug their own
@@My_Lacrimosa Exactly that’s all it was.
Well said Angela.
He wouldn’t of got murdered at all if he never started fighting the guy with the gun so I don’t get it
They don't even look sorry for what they did, it really goes to show how psychotic they are to still be justifying their actions after killing someone for literally no reason at all.
you're right, they are evil.
They are sorry now
Racism is evil indeed.
They can now be openly racist in a prison gang.
@@v1rtuo5o98 true, but trust me I've worked in 4 prisons in GA, the blacks are the majority and 90 % are gang members. Most likely one or all three will be beaten to death and or raped at the bare minimum. It's a very NASTY place and when they get on a guy, the CO's can only do so much due to their own safety.
Now I can say this was a fair trial from start till finish. Great job judge and excellent job the the prosecutors we thank you and you were truly a blessing to all of us.
@Potato Hero You have a sick mind.
@Potato Hero I will pray for you may God keep you and bless you
Moral of the story: Call the police if you suspect a crime is happening. You're not Batman.
Simple, concise and 100% accurate.
Right and stop calling the police just because u don't like black people in ur neighborhood because it could be a zillion reasons they are there besides up to no good, fun fact the average black person, I'm not saying all just like not all white people but the average black person is not up to know good.
This was the most clear cut case of murder. Everything they did was illegal. And you cant claim self defense if you are the aggressor. If they witnessed the victim in the middle of a felony act they would have more right to do what they did to a certain point. Them not contacting police shows clearly their intentions. Nobody just goes up to people with guns and trucks to talk. This sentencing is more than just.
👏👏EXACTLY!!!!
Agreed
BS....PLEASE STOP THE BS...
POLITICAL PRISONERS...
THAT NGGA SHOULD HAVE JOGGED IN SNEAKERS AND NOT BOOTS...
I really like this Judge he was fair and serious about doing what is right before God and man. Thank you Sir

@@Richard-ii7dk u can write as much as you. They got life. When they appeal u should try to be there lawyer cuz u seem to know how to justify a cold blooded murder.

To all those who did not watch the trial: Travis ADMITTED on the stand to pointing his loaded shotgun directly at Ahmad while Ahmad was running away from Bryan’s truck back to the direction of the McMichaels. Travis pointed a loaded shotgun at Ahmad before Ahmad ever laid hands on him.
@Potato Hero how many times did he run the other way? Think, you idiot, before commenting. FFS
Are you not allowed to defend yourself against someone who has pointed a loaded shotgun at you? Especially after that person admitted they did not consider you a threat?
@Potato Hero by chasing afther Ahmad with weapons, those men became the agressors. Those men had no reason for chasing him but Ahmad life was in danger and that's his reason for trying to take the gun. You can't chase someone with a shot gun then claim self defense when you shoot him when he fights back.
@Potato Hero, I hope and pray you are someone in your family is never placed in that situation. First of all, he did nothing wrong, why should he turn and run the opposite way. They chased this man despite you trying to make this political. I am sick of this being the go to saying. This man lost his life over people wanting to be in control and feeling they were superior.
Judge gave their souls an extra 20 to serve before they can burn in hell🤣🤣
Under Georgia law the life sentence is mandatory
Now here's something to think about with all this tragedy and evil that has been on this planet since the beginning of mankind! Do not be celebrating because from my understanding of our Good Book; Yahweh is disappointed in use and the ONLY, and I'll repeat ONLY way to Heaven is threw Yeshua! I see people celebrating, but.... Before you leave this earth, we all are going to have to forgive these men and anyone else who has sinned against you! Now, how does that grab you? At every trail I see people celebrating which is not the right thing to do! I read this comment below from:
Thee Misfit
11 minutes ago, he said,
"Judge gave their souls an extra 20 to serve before they can burn in hell🤣🤣."
CORRECTION, that's not the JUDGE that gives your soul nothing! We have ALL heard the saying," That the Lord works in Mysterious ways" How do you know this Is not a Test? And these men really repent to Yeshua in the future and all the haters celebrating find themselves burning in hell! Now that's something to think about, isn't it? My brother and sisters of All races don't get so caught up and tricked by Lucifer! He's sneaky!
Although I have my feelings about the system, I knew they would get this right. Judge was fair and took no foolishness. We did it! RIP Ahmaud ✊🏿
amen
I'll drink to that
I still have a feeling that the McMichael's have done this before. They were way too comfortable when they decided to do what they did. And the law enforcement in that area was too eager to help cover it up and way too comfortable dismissing the Life that was taken.
Deep down, I believe this life sentence is more justified than we know. 🙏🏾
The father definitely destroyed countless life's during his career as a police officer, detective or whatever position he held hurt people over his many years of disservice.
That was not there 1st rodeo
✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
They have done it before. Their ancestors taught them
I agree. They were definitely too comfortable, and thought that they’d get away with this due to the father’s history being in the law enforcement. Thank God for that video or they would’ve gotten away with this too.
The judge is truly deserving of the title, "Your Honor." I pray he sleeps well at night and that God continues to smile down at him.
yes but the 3 people if they ask god for forgiveness they can go to heaven when they die and god will love them like anyone else and if u hate the 3 men u wont go to heaven
in one of Roddy's interview, when this first started he stated with his lawyer present: I videotaped this to get justice for the family ....he was lying 🤥..but its exactly what happened!
I'm so happy the Mcmichaels got no parole!!! How's it feel when the justice system works!
well whatever reason he did it is why justice is being served and they should thank him for either being stupid to record it and admit to having a record of it or really trying to record it to capture what was happening... now, the lawyer for roddy claimed he was in fear for his life when they came and got him with a gun and went along with them because he didnt want to oppose a guy with a weapon and was just doing as told, maybe he would have gotten off but people dont realize that the law can charge them under culpability and that description is extremely vague as to what makes him or you culpable...
@@bjvu9460 if he was just trying to record it for justice for the family he would have stepped in and told them to leave arbery alone and there would be no need for justice for the family. He wouldn't have been trying to block arbery from escaping those inbreds who were chasing him if he was really concerned about Arbery's safety. He knew exactly what he was doing which is why I'm glad his sorry azz about to sit and rot in prison right along with them.
This Judge is the most Honest Empathic Patient and Just I have had the pleasure to have watched and he is a Credit to the Justice system . His sentencing was as appropriate as it could have possibly been under the circumstances A Life lost that can never be returned ! God Bless Ahmaud and his family may today help in some small way to give you some peace💜
It's sad to have to say props to this judge for doing his job. He did a stellar job and did exactly what his parameters aloud him to do. He didn't put his prejudices, thoughts or feelings into this trial. He was fair and appeared to study and know the laws. It's a great day in America. Don't drop the soap

Yes and if there was a video for Trayvon Martin's death , Zimmerman wouldn't be on the streets today
As long as the US remains a country where taking a life is a legal act of 'self-defence', there will always be situations where murderers will get away with it! You really do need to get rid of your guns!
This judge is outstanding
It is lucky they found the one non racists white man in the history of the state for this.
This should be a lesson to all those who take the laws into their own hands for their own motives and grievances. Those who want to live in a civilized democracy, must learn to obey the rules.
Wish we would apply this logic to homeless in CA
Would be nice if it was that simple. They didn't point any gun at the guy. He charged the man with the gun and was trying to take it away from him. If he had gotten it, the other man would be dead. This sentence is wrong.
