Hate Crimes Trial Begins For Ahmaud Arbery’s Killers
A federal hate crime trial for the three men already convicted in the murder of Ahmaud Arbery began on Monday after jurors were sworn in.
In the morning, 12 jurors and four alternates were selected from a pool of 36 people after U.S. District Court Judge Lisa Godbey Wood and attorneys discussed the racial makeup of the group, according to The Associated Press.
The selections include eight white jurors, three Black jurors and one Hispanic juror. Three of the alternates are white, and there is also one Pacific Islander alternate, the AP reported.
