Federal judge rejects plea deal on hate crime charges in Ahmaud Arbery's killing over sentencing concerns
CNN
A federal judge Monday rejected the plea deal reached by prosecutors and Travis McMichael on hate crime charges, an agreement that would have precluded his federal trial in Ahmaud Arbery's killing.
Earlier, McMichael had agreed to plead guilty to a single hate crime charge -- interference with rights -- in exchange for prosecutors recommending he serve 30 years in federal prison.
Under the agreement, McMichael, 36, would have been transferred from a state prison to federal custody.
