Judge in Arbery death federal trial to seat jury Monday

Associated Press  

SAVANNAH, Ga. — The federal judge presiding over the hate crimes trial of three white men who chased and killed Ahmaud Arbery said she will seat a jury Monday after a week spent asking potential jurors what they already know about the Black man’s death as well as their views on racism in America. U.S. District Court Judge Lisa Godbey Wood said Friday she’s ready to start the trial with 64 people deemed qualified to serve as impartial jurors. But they still face a federal trial on hate crime charges, which allege that they violated Arbery’s civil rights and targeted him because he was Black. 421, who on Friday told the judge: “The only thing I really know is that it’s a high-profile case and there might be a video related to it.” Others were able to persuade the judge they could set aside what they know and hear the federal trial based solely on the evidence presented in court.
