Prosecutor in Ahmaud Arbery case: Arbery was under attackBRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — None of the three white men charged in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery had cause to make a citizen's arrest when they saw him in their neighborhood, according to a prosecutor, who said Monday in closing arguments that the defendants decided to pursue him “because he was a Black man running down their street.” This attorney should be charged with unbelievable lying… What so funny that Travis is allowed to defend himself but AhmoudArbery can’t defend himself. TI hope the prosecutor will mention that. This lawyer is prescribing Arbery defending himself! What about the MG trial?
