Three white Georgia men all face life in prison after being found guilty on Wednesday of chasing down and murdering Ahmaud Arbery , a 25-year-old black man.
Their lawyers argued self-defense, while prosecutors claimed Greg and Travis McMichael and their neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan chased down and killed Arbery near the port city of Brunswick because of his race.
All three faced nine counts each in Arbery's death, including malice murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault. Travis McMichael was found guilty of all charges, while his father was guilty of all but one, malice murder. Jurors convicted Bryan on two felony murder charges but acquitted him of malice murder.
All three face life in prison. It is up to the judge to decide whether their sentences come with or without the possibility of parole. Prosecutors did not ask for the death penalty.
