November 24. 2021

This is a follow up to the June 20, 2020 article "Travis McMichael Referred To Ahmaud Arbery As A 'F*cking Nigger' After Murdering Him (Video)." Today the jury in the criminal case rendered guilty verdicts against Gregory McMichael, his son Travis McMichael, and William "Roddie" Bryan, in the heinous murder of unarmed jogger, Ahmaud Arbery.

Arbery was stalked and killed after the aforementioned trio branded him a burglar with absolutely no proof. Due to corruption charges were initially not filed, as Gregory McMichael knew the prosecutor. The Arbery family had to proverbially fight to get charges filed in the death of their loved one.

The case was disgusting. The defendants lawyers were nasty in their depictions of Arbery. If offended many and was a stupid thing to do in front of a jury. For instance, defense attorney Laura Hogue made statements such as Arbery had, "No socks to cover his long, dirty toenails."

Ms. Hogue, you are one nasty, evil, mean-spirited person to state something like that in court about a murder victim. You are unprofessional and a disgrace to your profession. The gist of what you said is having "no socks to cover his long, dirty toenails" is an excuse for murder.

Arbery's distressed and grieving mom, Wanda Cooper-Jones, had to leave the courtroom upon hearing the vile statement from Hogue. Cooper-Jones later stated, "I didn't expect them to go that low. I'll just say this, regardless of how long and how dirty his toenails were, that's still my son, and he didn't deserve to die the way that he died."

To degrade the dead victim is not a good look. Hogue should have been sanctioned by the court. By the way, did she take a look at how scruffy her clients looked before she cleaned them up for court. Giving them shaves, haircuts and suits doesn't erase what they've done.
