Ahmaud Arbery murder trial: Prosecutors reveal full footage of black jogger's death

5 November 2021

Georgia prosecutors have shown the full footage of the fatal shooting of a black jogger at the trial of three white men accused of his murder.

The prosecutors argued 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery was attacked by men who pursued him because of racial bias.

On the opening day of arguments, the court was also shown video from the first police officer on the scene.

Defendants Gregory and Travis McMichael and William Bryan deny all charges and have said they acted in self-defence.

Mr Arbery was shot and killed during the confrontation with the McMichaels on 23 February 2020. The case erupted into public view after footage of Mr Arbery's final moments surfaced online months later.
