BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — The jury is deliberating for a second day in the trial of three white men charged with the killing of Ahmaud Arbery in coastal Georgia. The mostly white jury returned to the courtroom to re-watch cellphone video of Arbery’s shooting soon after resuming its deliberations Wednesday morning. Jurors also wanted to listen again to a 911 call one of the defendants made right before the shooting. Jurors are weighing murder charges against father and son Greg and Travis McMichael and their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan. The McMichaels said they suspected Arbery was a burglar when they chased him past their home in February 2020. Bryan joined the chase and recorded the cellphone video. Travis McMichael testified he fired in self-defense.
