Race at forefront of jury questioning in trial over Ahmaud Arbery's death

Oct 19, 2021

BRUNSWICK, Ga. — Race is emerging as a major theme of jury selection in the murder trial of the three white men charged in the death of 25-year-old Black jogger Ahmaud Arbery last year.

Attorneys are slowly working through a pool of 1,000 prospective jurors in an attempt to find 16 people who say they can be impartial in the high-profile case. It's a slow and painstaking process expected to take up to two weeks.

Though attorneys for the defendants have asserted the case is not about race, they continue to question would-be jurors on the subject.
