Ahmaud Arbery’s Murderers Sentenced to Life in Prison
The three white men convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia in February 2020 have been sentenced to life in prison—and two of them will never be eligible for parole.
Gregory McMichael and his son Travis were sentenced Friday to life in prison without the possibility of parole, plus an additional 20 years, for the Feb. 23, 2020, slaying of the 25-year-old Black man. Their neighbor, William “Roddie” Bryan, received a life sentence with the possibility of parole after Judge Timothy Walmsley concluded that he is the only person who has shown remorse for Arbery’s death.
The trio were all found guilty in November on charges including felony murder in a case that drew national outrage weeks before the police murder of George Floyd set off a wave of protest against racist cops across the country.
