The men convicted of killing Ahmaud Arbery have now been sentenced by Superior Court Judge Timothy Walmsley.
The jury finds all three defendants guilty of murder. Sentencing will come later, but the three will almost surely live out their years in prison. A case that was all about race comes to a close with almost no mention of race in the courtroom.
20 months after Ahmaud Arbery died, his murder case goes to trial. The jury is racially lopsided. The first thing jurors see is a horrific video from the scene of the killing.
The latest developments regarding the Ahmaud Arbery murder trial and the indictment of former Glynn Co. district attorney Jackie Johnson for obstructing the case.
Hank Klibanoff returns to his hometown of Florence, Alabama to reflect on his childhood growing up in a state that was notorious for its civil rights abuses.
One year after the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, Hank Klibanoff returns to Closer Look with Rose Scott to discuss the latest developments in the case. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A single video leads to national media attention. Protest jogs and marches break out.
What happens when a police officer skips school?
How did the men who killed Ahmaud Arbery come so close to escaping all scrutiny?
The Georgia coast, where Ahmaud Arbery was born and killed, is steeped in history. Hank Klibanoff and his students trace the family roots of Ahmaud and the men who chased him, and marvel at what they find.
Funny, humble, and always saying “I love you.” The officer who approached Ahmaud as he sat alone in his parked car saw something different.
Why did they chase him in the first place? Investigators find disturbing Instagram posts and text messages.
Ahmaud Arbery went for a Sunday afternoon jog in a quiet neighborhood near the Georgia coast. He never made it home.
The afternoon of February 23, 2020, was a typically beautiful winter day on Georgia’s coast. Sunny and clear with a high near 65. At about 1 p.m., Ahmaud Arbery was taking advantage of the near-perfect running weather. He’d gone for a jog down Satilla Drive, right by the home of Gregory McMichael. Tragically, Ahmaud Arbery never made it home. For months after three white men chased him to his death, Georgia of 2020 looked disconcertingly like Georgia of 1950. This is the story of the long arc of injustice in the American South -- and of the persistence that brought worldwide attention to coastal Georgia.
