Summary

When Ahmaud Arbery was shot to death in February of 2020, it barely made a ripple in the news, but three months later cell phone footage of the shooting was released and practically overnight his death became an international story – provoking outrage that the three men involved in the incident had not been charged. All of that has changed now as we are just days away from jury selection for the murder trial of father and son Greg and Travis McMichael and their neighbor William “Roddy” Brian. Host Vinnie Politan and Court TV Anchor Ted Rowlands will take us through everything that has led up to this trial and break down the possible defense strategy of the three defendants. Vinnie will also discuss the similarities and the striking difference this story has with another trial Court TV covered – the trial of George Zimmerman. Get the latest updates on Court TV and CourtTV.com. And join Vinnie Politan and the entire Court TV team nightly as they discuss the biggest legal stories of the day on Closing Arguments from 8pm to 11pm. You can learn more about this case from Ted Rowlands and the entire Court TV team in the documentary “The Killing of Ahmaud Arbery: A Court TV Special.”
