Prosecutors make final rebuttal in trial for Ahmaud Arbery's killing before jury begins deliberations

Prosecutors get their last chance to address the jury Tuesday morning in the trial of three men charged with killing Ahmaud Arbery in Brunswick, Georgia, in February 2020. The final rebuttal comes after both the prosecution and the defense delivered their closing arguments on Monday.

Travis McMichael, his father Gregory McMichael and their neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan have all been charged with murder and other counts for the death of Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man who was jogging in the neighborhood.

The defense claims the men acted lawfully under the state's citizen's arrest law — which was in effect at the time but has since been repealed — because they were suspicious he might have been involved in neighborhood burglaries. And they say they had a right of self-defense against Arbery who, one defense attorney said Monday, "chose to fight."
