(Reuters). Ahmaud Abery, 25, was shot to death while he, prosecutors claim, was out on a Sunday run with a majority of Black men in a neighborhood near Brunswick (NYSE;), Georgia.

Gregory McMichael (65), his son Travis McMichael (35) and William Bryan (52) pleaded guilty to murder, aggravated attack and false imprisonment. As Arbery “hauled his asses” by McMichaels’ Satilla Shores residence, they told police that he was trying to flee from a crime.

The couple wanted to have a citizen arrested, and they informed police. Arbery’s relatives and supporters claim he was attacked because he is Black.

These are highlights from the Superior Court Trial before Judge Timothy Walmsley, Georgia’s Eastern Judicial District.

Nov. 3:

Glynn County Superior Court has selected a jury that includes 11 black men and 1 white person. The process took nearly three weeks due to the fact that many of the potential jurors claimed they knew Arbery personally or were familiar with some or all the defendants.

Kevin Gough representing Bryan complained during jury selection that there wasn’t enough black men aged 40+ without college degrees – people he called Joe Six-pack and Bobba.

Prosecutors attempted unsuccessfully to make the argument that potential jurors had been rejected by defense attorneys because they were Black. However, this is a claim which was long dismissed by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Nov. 5:

Opening statements have been made and the jury has been seated. Linda Dunikoski, Cobb County Prosecutor, told the jury the defendants intended to kill. She pointed out something McMichael, an elder McMichael, told the police that he shouted at Arbery. “Stop! I’ll blow you fucking head!”

Rob Rubin (defense attorney representing McMichael the younger) told the jury that they were trying to arrest a citizen.

Rubin stated, “It’s a citizen’s job to assist the police. And the law permits that.” Rubin stated, “If seconds matter, police can often be found minutes away.”

Nov. 10:

Roderic Nohilly from Glynn County Police told the jury Greg McMichael stated that Arbery was aware he couldn’t get away.

According to the transcript of an interview that McMichael read out in court, McMichael said that McMichael was “trapped like a rats” after his fatal pursuit.

Nov. 11

In the months and weeks before Arbery’s death, the jury was able to hear recorded calls from police and see surveillance footage of Arbery walking through a half-built home. He was killed just moments before his final visit.

Police were informed by McMichaels that they knew of reports that a Black man was wandering the grounds.

Kevin Gough, the defense attorney, complained that Al Sharpton (a well-known Black preacher) was present in courtroom along with the Arbery families.

Gough claimed that his team does not wish to see “anymore Black pastors” in the Georgia courtroom. This could impact the juries.

Judge Walmsley explained that he was not planning to exclude all members of public.

Nov. 16

Eight days of testimony, 23 witnesses and eight more days later, the prosecution decided to end its case. It presented evidence that showed defendants incorrectly believed the worst about Black men running through Satilla Shores.

After seeing graphic images of Arbery’s corpse and listening to the testimony of the medical examiner, the jury resigned.

Nov. 17

Travis McMichael who shot Arbery took the stand to defend himself.

He was shot by me. Travis McMichael stated that he had his gun. It was life or death.

He spoke out about the Coast Guard training he received to arrest suspects while on duty. This included protecting high-value vessels, intercepting drug dealers and helping immigration officers.

Nov. 18

Travis McMichael was questioned by a prosecutor over inconsistencies in his accounts to police about how he shot and chased Arbery.

McMichael stated that McMichael’s statements to police were “choppy” as he was stressed and nervous.

He said, “I just murdered a man.” I had blood all over me. That was the worst thing that happened in my entire life.

Jurors were instructed to come back on Monday for closing arguments.
