The three white men who killed Ahmaud Arbery received life sentences on Friday. Father and son Travis and Greg McMichael, who were convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia, have been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. William “Roddie” Bryan, who was also convicted in the case, was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole — meaning he must serve at least 30 years before he’s eligible for release.
Arbery’s murder was “a tragedy on many, many levels,” Walmsley said, adding that “a young man with dreams was gunned down in this community.”
The judge sentenced Travis McMichael to life plus 20 years and Greg McMichael to life plus 20 years, with the additional punishment stemming from assault and false imprisonment charges. He sentenced Bryan to life plus 10 years — which would be suspended.
