Convicted Killers of Ahmaud Arbery Request New Trial

The three men, serving life sentences, argue jury bias and ineffective counsel as grounds for appeal.

Greg McMichael, Travis McMichael, and William 'Roddie' Bryan were convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery in 2020 and are now seeking a new trial.
Defense attorneys claim the original trial was compromised by jury bias and ineffective legal representation.
The defendants argue that evidence of Arbery's past encounters with law enforcement was wrongly excluded from the trial.
The original case gained national attention as part of a broader movement against racial injustice, alongside cases like George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
In addition to state murder convictions, the three men were found guilty of federal hate crimes, with appeals pending in the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
