A grand jury indicted Travis McMichael, 34, Gregory McMichael, 64, and William “Roddie” Bryan Jr., 50, the three men arrested in the murder case of Ahmaud Arbery.
The indictment charges the three with nine counts including, malice murder, felony murder (four counts), aggravated assault (two counts), false imprisonment and criminal attempt to commit false imprisonment, CBS46 reports.
The McMicahels were arrested on May 7 on charges of felony murder and aggravated assault.
“The Grand jury looked at the facts and found compelling evidence to bring malice and felony murder, aggravated assault and false imprisonment charges against Ahmaud Arbery’s killers,” Arbery’s family lawyer Benjamin Crump said in a statement obtained by MadameNoire.
This is a significant step on the road to justice and while nothing will bring back Ahmaud’s life, it is important that a Grand jury recognized his life had value and was wrongly and ruthlessly ended.
