Glynn County police officer tells a jury that one of the three white men on trial for murder changed his story on why he suspected Ahmaud Arbery
The man who initiated the chase that ended in Ahmaud Arbery’s death quickly changed his story about why he suspected the 25-year-old Black man running in his neighbourhood was a criminal, two police officers testified Tuesday.
The officer said he spoke to McMichael at the scene of the shooting, with Arbery’s body lying under a sheet in the road nearby, as police first responded on Feb. 23, 2020. Prosecutors say the men had no legal reason to pursue Arbery with guns, as there’s no evidence Arbery committed any crimes in the Satilla Shores subdivision outside the port city of Brunswick. Defense attorneys say the defendants had reason to suspect Arbery was a burglar.
Defense attorneys say Travis McMichael opened fire in self-defence. Brandeberry testified that Greg McMichael told him at the scene: “He attacked my son. He came at him. He tried to get the damn shotgun away.” The jury Tuesday saw several photos police took after the shooting of Travis McMichael, who had Arbery’s blood on his hands and arms as well as spattering his shirt, face and neck.
