A federal judge on Monday rejected plea deals that would have avoided a federal hate crimes trial for two of the Georgia men convicted in state court of killing black jogger Ahmaud Arbery.US District Judge Lisa Wood nixed the agreement that would have allowed convicted killers Travis and Gregory McMichael to serve their federal time for Arbery’s Feb. 23, 2020 slaying in a safer and less crowded prison, WTSB-TV said in a report. Travis McMichael, 35, and his 66-year-old father were hit with life sentences in state court earlier this month for chasing down and killing Arbery, 25 but still had the federal charges pending.
