A 12-person jury has been seated in the Georgia trial of three white men charged in the killing of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery, but the makeup of the panel is already raising questions of fairness in the proceedings.
Arbery, who is Black, was fatally shot after he was chased by the three men, father and son Greg and Travis McMichael and neighbour William “Roddie” Bryan, in February of 2020. The trial has been seen by many as the latest referendum on racial justice in the United States.
The appointment on Wednesday of just one Black juror and 11 white jurors following a three-week selection process quickly raised concerns among prosecutors and Arbery’s family.
