CBSN
Greg McMichael, 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 neighborhood was a criminal, two police officers testified Tuesday. McMichael also had blood on his hand from checking to see if Arbery had weapon on him after the shooting, one of the officers said.
Glynn County police Officer Jeff Brandeberry told a jury that McMichael - one of three white men on trial for murder in the case - at first told him that Arbery had been recorded by security cameras "breaking in all these houses out here."
"Well, he makes frequent trips to the neighborhood and gets caught on video cameras every third or fourth night breaking into places and no one's been able to catch him," McMichael told Brandeberry, who read in open court from a transcript of the conversation recorded by his body camera.
