Ahmaud Arbery

Arbery's family asked the court not to show any leniency to the men who chased Ahmaud Arbery down and shot him.

While father and son Gregory and Travis McMichael along with their neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan will all get life, Judge Timothy R. Walmsley will decide if any of them can be considered for parole in the future.

Travis McMichael was convicted on all nine counts he faced, including malice murder. His father Gregory McMichael and their neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan were also convicted on multiple felony murder counts.

The jury told the judge they would be willing to continue into the evening, but he dismissed them for the night.

The comment prompted audible gasps and caused Ahmaud Arbery’s mother Wanda Cooper-Jones to leave the courtroom.

Prosecutors say Greg and Travis McMichael and William "Roddie" Bryan only chased Ahmaud Arbery because "he was a Black man running down their street," while the defense blamed Arbery for the events leading to his death.

The judge dismissed the motion, saying there had been no disruption in the courtroom.

Judge scheduled closing arguments in the case for Monday.

The man accused of shooting an unarmed jogger three times testified that he was scared when, armed with a shotgun, he pursued Ahmad Arbery in his truck with his father and the help of a neighbor.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson called attorney Kevin Gough's request, which was denied by the judge, a "diversion" during an emotional day of testimony.
