A Georgia jury has convicted three white men of murder in the death of Ahmaud Arbery.

Travis McMichael, who shot fatally shot Arbery in February 2020, was convicted on all nine charges, including malice murder and four counts of felony murder.

Gregory McMichael, 65, was found not guilty of malice murder, but was convicted on the remaining charges, including the felony murder counts.
The McMichael's neighbor, William "Roddie" Bryan, 53, was found guilty of three of the felony murder counts and a charge of criminal intent to commit a felony.

Here is a full breakdown of the verdicts.

The jury was shown multiple times the now-famous video showing a struggle between Travis McMichael and Ahmaud Arbery over McMichael's shotgun that partly captured the fatal shooting.

The panel sent a note to Judge Walmsley asking to view a short version of the video and an enhanced, high-contrast video of the deadly struggle. As per their request, the jury was played the videos three times each.

It was the first request from the jury to review any evidence in the case since they began deliberating on Tuesday.

The jury also asked to hear a 911 call between Greg McMichael and a police dispatcher around the time of the shooting on Feb. 23, 2020. In the 911 call played for the jury inside the Glynn County courtroom, Greg McMichael is heard explaining his emergency was "there's a Black male running down the street." He was also overheard yelling to Arbery: "Stop. Goddammit, stop" and "Travis."

The jury resumed its deliberations on Wednesday morning, after working a little over six hours on Tuesday.

The panel was called into the Glynn County courtroom around 8:30 a.m. and Judge Walmsley thanked them for their service and sent them off to continue their discussions.

Prosecutor Linda Dunikoski suggested to the jury that Travis and Greg McMichael became angry at Ahmaud Arbery after he ignored their calls to stop when they pulled up alongside him during the pursuit.

Dunikoski attacked the testimony of Travis McMichael, pointing out inconsistencies and claims she alleged were concocted for the trial.

Dunikoski said neither Travis McMichael nor his father told police on the day of the shooting that they were trying to place Arbery under criminal arrest because they believed he had committed a burglary at a home under construction in their neighborhood.

The prosecutor cited Travis McMichael's testimony that he thought his father had called 911 before they set out to chase Arbery.

"Does anybody believe that?" asked Dunikoski, suggesting that a dispatcher would have kept Greg McMichael on the line to get more information.

She scoffed at Travis McMichael's claim on the witness stand that he didn't know what his father yelled at Arbery as they chased him, including the alleged statement threatening to shoot Arbery.

She said Travis McMichael's testimony was full of "maybes" and assumptions, including that Arbery may have committed a crime, that maybe he was caught.

"These are all maybes. He doesn't know anything," Dunikoski said.

Dunikoski also poked holes in Travis McMichael's claim that he spoke to Arbery calmly during the pursuit, trying to get him to stop and answer questions about what he was doing in their neighborhood.

"Do you believe for a minute he was talking softly to Ahmaud Arbery?" Dunikoski asked the jury.

She played a 911 call Travis McMichael made after Arbery was cornered, and breathlessly reported his emergency that "A Black male was running down the street." In the background of the call, Greg McMichael was heard yelling at Arbery, "Stop. Goddammit. Stop."

The prosecutor wrapped up her rebuttal argument by telling the jury the defendants are all "parties to the crime" and asked the panel to convict them on all charges.
