The killers of Ahmaud Arbery are found guilty

LAST YEAR Marcus Arbery, the father of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old black man shot dead in Georgia last February, told CNN that his son was “lynched by a racist mob”. “When you come at a young man, you jump on the back of a pickup truck with a shotgun…and you follow him like he was an animal, and you gun him down”, that is a lynching, he argued. On November 24th a jury agreed, convicting three white men, Gregory McMichael and his son Travis, and William Bryan, a neighbour, of murder.
