The original thread has disappeared, but the trial of 3 men for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery opened this week.

The judge has concerns that the jury selection may not be fair, but is unable to do anythin about it after 11 white and 2 black jurors were selected - https://www.npr.org/2021/11/05/1052435205/ahmaud-a...

More details about the supposed trespassing on and open and unsecured construction site - it appears Arbery had looked around the site several times, but nothing has been stolen from it.
Items had been taken from the owner's boat, but security footage suggested it was a white couple. https://www.npr.org/2021/11/05/1052065912/ahmaud-a...

Other reports mention that children regularly played in the site and there had been no police reports of any thefts from the site.

In fact, the defendants had been told that Arbery wasn't a burglar, just days before the shooting - https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk...


A local former prosecutor is facing charges for her inaction in this case and for interfering with officers at the scene - https://www.npr.org/2021/09/02/1033809949/ahmaud-a...
