South Georgia community demands justice for Ahmaud Arbery’s death

CNN  

Glynn County, Georgia CNN — Though a prosecutor says he’ll let a grand jury decide whether the man who killed Ahmaud Arbery will face charges, many in this south Georgia community can’t understand why no one’s been arrested. “They said, ‘He’s a black man running down our road.’” Greg McMichael’s former employer declined to press charges, but Atlantic Judicial Circuit District Attorney Tom Durden – the third prosecutor in the case – said Tuesday he’d submit the evidence to a grand jury once the state’s coronavirus restrictions were lifted. “I am of the opinion that the case should be presented to the grand jury of Glynn County for consideration of criminal charges against those involved in the death of Mr. Arbery,” Durden’s statement said. Barnhill also questioned whether Arbery might’ve been responsible for the gunshots by pulling on the shotgun, and he concluded Travis McMichael “was allowed to use deadly force to protect himself,” he wrote in the letter to Glynn County police Capt. Greg McMichael told police he saw Arbery “hauling ass” down the street, according to the report police provided to CNN, which lists five other witnesses but provides only Greg McMichael’s account.
