The three white men who murdered Ahmaud Arbery chased down the young Black man and subsequently killed him because of “racial assumption”, a United States federal prosecutor has told jurors at the defendants’ hate-crimes trial.Attorneys from the US Department of Justice stressed during closing arguments on Monday that the trio acted out of racial animosity when they pursued Arbery while he was jogging through their Georgia community.Defence attorneys said the men believed they recognised Arbery from previous videos showing a trespasser on a nearby property, and they were trying to protect the neighbourhood.
