Lawyer Representing Ahmaud Arbery's Family Discusses Case

NPR  

Lawyer Representing Ahmaud Arbery's Family Discusses Case MICHEL MARTIN, HOST: Earlier this week, Gregory McMichael and his son, Travis McMichael, were arrested and charged with the murder of Ahmaud Arbery, an unarmed black man who was jogging near his home. He's now one of the attorneys representing members of Ahmaud Arbery's family, and he is with us now. The reason, Michel, his family needs lawyers is a reason that is underscored by this very case - the fact that Ahmaud Arbery was executed in broad daylight and that prosecutors had video of the lynching but yet the prosecutors failed to act on this probable cause that they could see with their own eyes. The reason they arrested Travis and Greg McMichael for executing Ahmaud Arbery was not because the law enforcement officials saw the video; it was because we the people saw the video, and we were outraged when we saw that modern-day lynching and because we could not unsee what we have saw on that video.
