Travis McMichael gets 2nd life sentence for federal hate crime conviction in Ahmaud Arbery's killing

Travis McMichael gets 2nd life sentence for federal hate crime conviction in Ahmaud Arbery's killing

Travis McMichael, one of the three White men who killed Ahmaud Arbery, was sentenced Monday to life in prison plus 10 years after he was convicted earlier this year of interference with rights, a federal hate crime, and attempted kidnapping in connection with the 25-year-old Black man's 2020 killing.

His father Gregory McMichael and their neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan are due to be sentenced later Monday at the same Georgia courthouse on convictions of the same federal charges. All three are already serving life sentences for their convictions in state court on a series of charges related to Arbery's killing, including felony murder.

Travis McMichael's life sentence is to be served concurrently with his state sentence, US District Court Judge Lisa Godbey Wood ruled.

The three White men who killed Ahmaud Arbery each could receive another life sentence Monday, when they are due to appear in federal court in Georgia to learn how they will be punished for convictions on hate crime charges.

i watched the trial several times on You Tube.

He and his dad are what's wrong with this country: entitled white men who think they are above the law.

It was just sickening watching the replay of the murder video.

And they actually thought they were right and doing a good thing.
