Georgia Men Charged in the Murder of Ahmaud Arbery Sentenced to Life in Prison, Charged with Federal Hate Crimes
The three men serving life in prison for Ahmaud Arbery’s murder were again handed lengthy prison sentences Monday on federal hate crime charges.
Travis McMichael, who fatally shot Arbery, will serve his federal sentence of life plus 10 years. His father, Gregory, who initiated the deadly pursuit of the jogger, will serve life prison plus seven years. Their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan, who took a video of the killing, was sentenced to 35 years in prison.
They will serve the federal sentences concurrently with the state time. The judge denied each man’s request Monday to serve his sentences in federal prison.
