Convictions of white racist killers is upheld

US appeals court upholds hate crime convictions of 3 White men in 2020 killing of Ahmaud Arbery​

A federal appeals court on Friday upheld the hate crime convictions of three White men who chased Ahmaud Arbery through their Georgia subdivision with pickup trucks before one of them killed the running Black man with a shotgun.

A three-judge panel of the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals took well over a year to rule after attorneys for the defendants urged the judges in March 2024 to overturn the case, arguing the men’s history of racist text messages and social media posts failed to prove they targeted Arbery because of his race.

Federal prosecutors used those posts and messages in 2022 to persuade a jury that Arbery’s killing was motivated by “pent-up racial anger.”

The appellate panel’s opinion, written by Judge Elizabeth L. Branch, said prosecutors at the trial showed “that each of the defendants held longstanding prejudice,” and that evidence was sufficient for “a reasonable juror to find that Arbery’s race was the determinative factor” for the deadly neighborhood chase.

In other words, convicts, you are probably in for life.

trump's going to pardon them - not because he wants to - it's just another way to get people talking about something other than the Epstein files.

It wouldn't matter, they all have state murder convictions that Trump would not be able to pardon. Though I understand your cynicism, I do not think he's got foreskin cut guy on his radar for a pardon.

Seriously, that dude's haircut is almost enough for a life sentence.

I binged watch that trial on Youtube and watching it made me as a black woman shutter in utter disgust of what that young black man went through before being slaughtered by these white trash murderers. He was treated and hunted like a fuckin animal for simply jogging and stopping in a redneck hate neighborhood. They got life without parole and they should serve their time to the grave. May that young blood continue to rest in peace.

LOL. That dude sealed his fate and his buddies fate that day, bc he recorded the whole thing.....and because he felt justified in killing a nigga, he proudly gave up the footage believing these redneck cops living in a redneck community would find the footage laughable and ok. Sadly he got life with the possibility of parole.

They were fucking morons who should have shot themselves on the spot and saved everyone else the trouble. Typical MAGAts.

More likely than not. Trump has an affection for white supremacists as does his staff.

If these murderers are pardon, if Derek is pardon, the guy that murdered George Floyd on nation tv, if any of these white men are given pardons, every conservative coon out here, is just as guilty of their murders as are these contemptable murderers. TIM COON ARE YOU LISTENING?

 

[LurchAddams]

I give it a 70% chance.

I'm pretty sure if I'm reading the op source correctly the "hate crime" is federal.

trump pardoned Joe Arpaio - someone who tortured and abused people because they were Latino.

70% chance - not 100% and please know - I hope the 30% chance plays out!

 

[LurchAddams]

More likely than not. Trump has an affection for white supremacists as does his staff.

Yep, probability over 50% is "more likely than not" and my projection is 70%, based on trump's past behavior, vis-a-vis violent offenders and Joe A.

trump doesn't give a shit. His only policy now is "hide the Epstein files". If he has to pardon a few racist killers to provide his base red meat - he'll do it in a heartbeat.

A good bet. He appears to be focusing upon Maxwell's pardon first but may do a batch set of pardons and/or wait until after the Midterms.

If Maxwell gets a pardon it opens her to questioning without a 5th Amendment protection. If she lies she goes back. I don't think he'd pardon her if he's done something. Is she charged with a federal or state crime?
