The Ahmaud Arbery Case Goes to the Jury
The jury began deliberations Tuesday in the trial over the slaying of Ahmaud Arbery and are tasked with determining the fate of three men facing murder and other felony charges in connection to the fatal shooting of the 25-year-old Black man last year.
The 12 jurors exited the courtroom after receiving their instructions following 10 days of testimony from a variety of witnesses, including police officers, neighbors, experts from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and one of the defendants himself.
“With that, ladies and gentleman, I ask that you retire to the jury room,” Judge Timothy R. Walmsley said.
