All three men convicted
Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael, and William Roddie Bryan have been found guilty of murder.
Travis McMichael was convicted malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, false imprisonment and criminal attempt to commit a felony.
Gregory McMichael and William Bryan were acquitted of the top charge of malice murder.
Modern day lynching
The three men chased Arbery in pickup trucks after they spotted him in their neighborhood outside Brunswick, Georgia on Feb. 23, 2020.
Travis McMichael shot Arbery, 25, who was Black, with a shotgun at close range. Bryan filmed the fatal encounter on his cellphone.
The McMichaels and Bryan were arrested months later after the leaked video brought the world’s attention to the case.
Arbery’s family and civil rights leaders have attributed his death to a modern-day lynching. The three men also face federal hate crimes.
All now face up to life in prison.
