Shooter gets life in prison

‘ The white man who fatally shot Ahmaud Arbery after chasing the 25-year-old Black man in a Georgia neighborhood was sentenced Monday to life in prison for committing a federal hate crime.

Travis McMichael was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Lisa Godbey Wood in the port city of Brunswick. His punishment is largely symbolic, as McMichael was sentenced earlier this year to life without parole in a Georgia state court for Arbery’s murder.

Wood said McMichael had received a “fair trial.”

“And it’s not lost on the court that it was the kind of trial that Ahmaud Arbery did not receive before he was shot and killed,” the judge said.

Before the sentencing, she heard from members of Arbery’s family. His mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, said she feels every shot that was fired at her son everyday.

“It’s so unfair, so unfair, so unfair that he was killed while he was not even committing a crime,” she said.“

Should be the death penalty.
At least they should bill his family for his room and meals forever.

No question of his guilt, so why can't they string him up the next day after he is found guilty like they did in the old west? My take on the death penalty is different than most. A person who will never breathe free air again has nothing to lose. They are a constant danger to the honest hard working people who have to come in contact with them daily to do their job.


I don't believe in attempted murder, why should someone get less time because they failed at what they intended to do?
