State gives rebuttal to defense's closing arguments in death of Ahmaud Arbery trial

Closing arguments in the trial of three men accused of murder in the death of Ahmaud Arbery are set to wrap up Tuesday in Brunswick with the state's rebuttal to the defense's closing arguments before the jury begins deliberating.

Ahmaud Arbery was shot and killed on Feb. 23, 2020. Cellphone video leaked to the public shows two armed white men in a truck approaching the 25-year-old Black man as he runs down the road. One of the men, later identified as Travis McMichael, and Arbery struggle over McMichael's shotgun before Arbery is shot and collapses.

Travis McMichael, his father Gregory McMichael and William "Roddie" Bryan, who recorded the video, are all charged with murder in Arbery's death.
