The defense attorneys representing the father and son accused in the murder of Ahmaud Arbery in a Georgia subdivision last February have filed a series of motions to, in part, prevent prosecutors from referring to Arbery as a victim during the trial, as well as bar spectators from wearing Black Lives Matter messaging while in the courtroom.
Gregory McMichael and his son Travis, who are both White, have pleaded not guilty to felony malice murder in connection with the shooting death of 25-year-old Arbery, a Black man who was chased and shot dead on a residential street outside Brunswick, Ga., on Feb. 23, 2020.
