"We will continue to be intentional in the pursuit of justice for this family and the community at large as the prosecution of this case continues," Holmes said."This is another positive step, another great step for finding justice for Ahmaud, for finding justice for this family and the community beyond."
On February 23, Arbery — a 25-year-old Black man — was jogging outside Brunswick, Georgia when the McMichaels shot him three times after chasing him down the street from a car. Per investigators, Gregory McMichael claimed that he and his son believed Arbery looked like a person suspected in a series of recent neighborhood break-ins. However, police have said that no breaks-in were reported seven weeks before Arbery's death.
"I believe Mr. Arbery was being pursued, and he ran till he couldn't run anymore, and it was turn his back to a man with a shotgun or fight with his bare hands against the man with the shotgun," Dial said."He chose to fight."
