The
three white men charged with the killing of a Black jogger in Georgia pleaded not guilty Friday.
Ahmaud Arbery, 25, was killed on Feb. 23 just outside of Brunswick, Georgia, after he was chased by the men while he was jogging.
Arbery's killing, captured on a disturbing video, drew a national outcry. Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son Travis, 34, told police they chased Arbery because they thought he was a burglary suspect and acted in self-defense during a confrontation.
Two and a half months passed before they were charged with murder and aggravated assault, shortly after the state began investigating and a video of the shooting became public. Authorities say the third man charged in the case, 50-year-old William "Roddie" Bryan Jr., boxed Arbery in with his truck.
