Ahmaud Arbery was killed in 2020 by three people for simply jogging through a neighborhood.
The three men——Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael and William Bryan were found guilty if hate crimes in the 2020 murder.
All three are currently serving life sentences as a result.
Since then, it was revealed the three men asked an appeals court to toss their federal hate crime convictions.
Pete Theodocion, a defense lawyer for William Bryan said “Every crime committed against an African American by a man who has used racist language in the past is not a hate crime,” in an appellate document filed on behalf of Bryan.
