Judge Rejects Plea Deal For Men Who Killed Ahmaud Arbery
A federal judge rejected a plea agreement Monday that would have avoided a hate crimes trial for Travis McMichael. The man convicted of murder for the fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery. The deal with U.S. Justice Department would have allowed McMichael’s sentence to be served in a federal prison instead of state prison. But Arbery’s family didn’t take acceptation to the plea and said, “Travis McMichael should serve his entire sentence in a Georgia state prison”. The next hearing is set for Friday. Jury selection in their hate crimes trial is scheduled to begin Monday, February 7,2022.
