The three men who were found guilty last November of murdering Ahmaud Arbery are also guilty of federal hate crime charges, a jury ruled Tuesday.
The three defendants, Travis McMichael, his father, Gregory McMichael, and William “Roddie” Bryan, pleaded not guilty to the charges, but the jury ultimately concluded that they violated Arbery’s civil rights and had a racial motivation in their pursuit of him. The three men were found guilty of interference with rights, which is a hate crime, and attempted kidnapping. The McMichaels were also found guilty of using a firearm in the commission of a crime.
