Overview

• 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.
