Ahead of the start of jury selection in the murder trial for the 2020 killing of Ahmaud Arbery, his mother said she has concerns about the trial, but is hopeful "the right people" will be selected.
Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man, was jogging in a Brunswick, Georgia, neighborhood in February 2020 when he was chased by three White men, shot and killed.
It wasn't until cell phone video of the confrontation was leaked that the three men — Gregory McMichael, his son Travis, and their neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan — were arrested. The video also sparked Black Lives Matter demonstrations across the country.

Meta is denying claims circulating on social media that it forced Facebook and Instagram users to follow President Trump's official accounts, saying the changes some users noticed were standard practices tied to the transition of the POTUS account from the previous administration to the incoming one.
