All 3 suspects indicted in Ahmaud Arbery shooting death

Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution

A grand jury has indicted the three suspects accused in the death of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery, the Cobb County District Attorney said Wednesday.

Travis and Greg McMichael and William “Roddie” Bryan were previously charged with felony murder in the death of Arbery, who was shot in February in a Brunswick neighborhood. All three are being held without bond in the Glynn County jail.

The indictment returned Wednesday formally charges each of the three defendants — Travis and Greg McMichael and William “Roddie” Bryan — with nine counts: malice murder; felony murder (four counts); aggravated assault (two counts); false imprisonment; and criminal attempt to commit false imprisonment, the DA said.

While most grand juries have not been in session due to the coronavirus, a judicial order allowed for those grand juries impaneled before the crisis to reconvene, Cobb DA Joyette Holmes said. Holmes announced the indictment Wednesday afternoon in front of the Glynn courthouse.

I'm hoping that the 2nd DA's report, before he recused himself, doesn't cause too much doubt among the jury pool. Which shouldn't have been written in the first place, and certainly not published within the state DOJ.
