deliberations. okay. so they were in there for six hours and it came after the prosecution delivered its rebuttal argument with a fiery attempt to undermine the defense s claim that the killing of arbery was just an act of self-defense. martin savidge is out front. reporter: tonight, the jury deliberating the fate of the three men accused of killing a black man running through a coastal georgia neighborhood last year. the law of the case. reporter: the judge placing the controversial case into the hands of one black and 11 white jurors. so with that, ladies and gentlemen, i ask that you retire to the jury room. reporter: the prosecution getting the final say retelling how an armed father and son, gregory and travis mcmichael, aided by a neighbor, william roddy bryan, pursued 25-year-old ahmaud arbery, eventually cornering and killing him. the final moments, caught on video. you can t force someone to defend themselves against you, so you get to claim self-defense. this isn
