Here’s how bad the defense attorneys are. They chose Laura Hogue, the white woman who decided to talk about Ahmaud’s toenails, to make their main presentation at sentencing. It was THE LOW MOMENT of the trial for them. They are aloof and tone deaf. Even today. — PolitiTweet.org

Family of Ahmaud Arbery is back in court as the sentencing hearing continues. Defense attorneys for the McMichaels are scrambling for legal loopholes to help their clients. Bottom line is that they were TERRIBLE as defense attorneys at the trial. And now want to fix it. Nah. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s WILD to see white attorneys for the men who murdered Ahmaud argue for their white clients that are facing life in prison, that prison is expensive, that it is harsh and cruel, that it is inhumane to deny them a chance to raise their kids, and more. NOW they think this. — PolitiTweet.org

Heartbreaking statements right now from Ahmaud’s family on their love for him, what he was like beyond this gruesome murder, how much they miss him, and all of the things they were robbed of with this murder. — PolitiTweet.org

To be clear, William Roddie Bryan ACTIVELY participated in the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. He used his truck to actively chase Ahmaud and did everything he could to prevent Ahmaud from escaping - even hitting Ahmaud with the truck - thus allowing Ahmaud to be cornered and killed. — PolitiTweet.org

Court is now in session and sentencing is about to begin in the case of the three men who murdered Ahmaud Arbery. — PolitiTweet.org

In the Georgia based criminal trial of the men who murdered Ahmaud, the prosecutors made a very risky decision that paid off to completely leave out HORRIBLE evidence of the open and blatant racism of all 3 murderers. All of that will now come out in the federal trial. — PolitiTweet.org

After I spoke this morning to Wanda Cooper Jones, and Attorney Lee Merritt, it was clear that the three men who murdered Ahmaud Arbery DESPERATELY wanted to avoid the federal hate crimes trial. There, all of the specific details of their overt anti-Black racism will come out. — PolitiTweet.org

The family of Ahmaud Arbery is now in court waiting for the sentencing to begin. Texas Attorney General Candidate @MerrittForTexas is there in court alongside his client, Wanda Cooper Jones, mother of Ahmaud Arbery: — PolitiTweet.org
Shaun King @shaunking
I also want to be clear that Ahmaud’s mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, wanted the death penalty for all three men who murdered Ahmaud. Her mercy for these three men came when she no longer pressed the prosecution for this option and it was removed from the table. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s the strong preference of the family of Ahmaud Arbery for the McMichaels and Roddie Bryan to be sentenced today in Georgia and serve their time in Georgia where they murdered Ahmaud - and where so much justice was organized and fought for - and not in a federal prison. — PolitiTweet.org

🚨BREAKING: This morning the three men who murdered Ahmaud Arbery offered to plead guilty to federal hate crimes charges and serve 30 years in the federal penitentiary in place of their upcoming state sentence. Ahmaud’s family and attorneys were consulted and declined the offer. — PolitiTweet.org
