Ahmaud Arbery was struck twice in the chest by shotgun blasts, autopsy shows.

Arbery’s family has said that he was unarmed and out for a jog at the time of his death. Gregory McMichael told police he had spotted a suspect from break-ins in the area running down the street before pursuing him. The McMichaels also said that when they caught up with Arbery, he attacked Travis McMichael, who fired his weapon in self-defense.

The first prosecutor on the case, Jackie Johnson, of the Brunswick Judicial Circuit, recused herself because of ties with Gregory McMichael, who was an investigator in her office before he retired in May 2019. A second prosecutor, George Barnhill, also recused himself in April after it was revealed that his son works in the district attorney's office, where Gregory McMichael was employed.

Barnhill initially declined to charge the father and son with a crime, telling police in an April letter they had “solid first hand probable cause” to chase Arbery, who Barnhill called a “burglary suspect.” Barnhill in the letter asserted that Arbery initiated the fight and tried to grab the shotgun — actions that he said allowed Travis McMichael to use deadly force to protect himself.

США очень сложная,не простая страна ,очень развитая,что не простым трудно просчитать ее нежели обычным людям, это как сравнивать айфон последней модели и кнопочный телефон начала 90 если говорить об более простых странах.

If those white men didn’t have their guns, Ahmaud probably would’ve beat the dog shit out of both of them lmao. Trayvon was givin Zimmerman the business, that’s why he shot him....soft ass white men.

Chicago Black on Black Crime raises while media ignores it!

and here we go....the 2 men have been arrested, have been charged, and will be tried. You idiots love flaming race hate. No one is defending their actions. You fake outrage is a great dissaervice to society. You are not helping anyone. Meanwhile, you dodge obamagate and reade

So sad in America! God bless this Family.💗

Well, at least those racist terrorists lynched him to his face.

Those two racists should never see the light of day again!

This is 2020, the 21st century, this shows you how really messed up our Society is. Everything about this case just makes me sick. This Young Man should still be alive. Those delusional ex cop and son dimwits that shot him, why did the Law Take so long to act?
