Her father, Gregory McMichael, and their neighbor, William “Roddy” Bryan, are scheduled to be sentenced later Monday in the same Georgia court on the same federal charges. All three Life imprisonment for them Charges include felony murder in connection with the killing of a 25-year-old black man.

Her father and Brian were found guilty of federal charges in February after a jury accepted prosecutors’ contention that the defendants acted racially toward Arberry.

Arberry’s murder, months earlier In Minneapolis, which were in some ways a precursor to the nationwide protests that erupted that summer, demonstrators denounced how protesters were sometimes treated by law enforcement.

Federal prosecutors focused on how each defendant spoke about black people in public and in private, using inflammatory, derogatory and racist language.

Defense attorneys argued that McMichaels followed Arbury through neighborhood streets in a pickup truck and stopped him for police, believing he matched the description of someone captured on footage recorded at a home under construction. Prosecutors acknowledged Arberry had broken into the home in the past, but he never took anything.

Travis McMichael shot Arberry in self-defense, and they wrestled with McMichael’s gun. Brian followed in his own truck, seeing the McMichaels following Arbury as he drove away; Brian recorded the shooting on video.

Two prosecutors initially advised Glynn County police not to make arrests, and no arrests were made for more than two months — and only after video of Brian’s killing emerged, sparking nationwide protests.
