Three men found guilty on federal hate crime charges for killing Ahmaud Arbery.
after Arbery’s parents, Wanda Cooper-Jones and Marcus Arbery, protested that the men would be able serve their time in a federal prison instead of a state one, calling the deal “disrespectful.”
Attorney General Merrick Garland grew emotional during a Department of Justice press briefing on Tuesday that addressed the case when members of the press asked him to respond to Cooper-Jones’ statement. "The Justice Department has a legal obligation to prosecute hate crimes, and, as Americans, all of us have a moral obligation to combat the hatred and bigotry that motivates those crimes," the attorney general said."Today’s verdict makes clear that the Justice Department will continue to use every resource at its disposal to confront unlawful acts of hate and to hold accountable those who perpetrate them.
Friday was the final day of testimony and perhaps the most jarring for the jury, as prosecutors called neighbors and former co-workers of the McMichaels, who all testified that the father and son made troubling racist jokes, rants and statements and were open about their negative feelings toward Black people.
