Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan says he backs a proposed hate crime law that would give sentencing guidelines for those convicted on bias-motivated violence.

Duncan's statement follows the February shooting death of Georgia man Ahmaud Arbery, an unarmed black jogger who was shot multiple times and killed by a white father and his son.

In the aftermath of Arbery's death, the United States Department of Justice announced there would be an official federal investigation into the incident as a hate crime. Georgia is one of four states that does not have a hate crime law, which means the murder of Arbery could be prosecuted as a federal hate crime.
