That trial was scheduled to begin February 7, according to court documents.

Bryan, a neighbor, got in a vehicle and also pursued Arbery as he was jogging.Travis McMichael exited the vehicle after catching up to Arbery, and a struggle over McMichael's firearm resulted in Travis McMichael shooting and killing Arbery.

Just an ex cop and his son. They always protect their own, any way they can. Even after the guilty verdict. NEVER forget. They never even wanted to prosecute this case.

Unacceptable - They now get cushy federal custody and 'avoid the harsher conditions' of Georgia's prisons!

Of course its always something else😂 This shit is so staged

The plea deal, is they spend the first 30 years in a federal prison, which would be a forced hotel stay with better accommodations than what the state would give them.

..lazy prosecutors

No plea deal

Educate yourselves before commenting folks. This is a Federal hate crime charge. They’ve already been sentenced to life without parole by the State of Georgia. They aren’t going anywhere and this isn’t a sentence reduction.

They shouldn't get a deal ....

Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me

1. They’ve already been sentenced in state court for their crime, so they aren’t going anywhere. 2. Plea deals are done all the time (at all levels) to alleviate taxpayer dollars for court costs & time. 3. The story said it hasn’t been approved yet.

These types of criminals shouldn't be tolerated.

What? The plea deal is less time in Prison b

Why? It's unacceptable. The murder of Ahmaud Arbery was a hate crime.

All I need is my boat a voice from Poland

The murder trial evidences showed hate crime that’s how they got life sentence. Why was the hate crime separated from the murder trial ?

Do the taxpayers a favor and put them in general population

Enough of these plea deals, these animals need to serve their entire lives, if the death penalty isn't on the table. These ARE the kind of people worth shelling out money to incarcerate forever.

dammit. I was looking forward to that trial.

Hmmm

No agreements with this haters! No more haters in the world, they have to have a lesson !

Why in the hell would they be offered plea deals? It was clearly a hate crime and they murdered him In Cold Blood!!! Have these prosecutors lost their damn Minds?

Yes Sir... We seen him as 'Nigger'. (Our Neighborhood). Weez sorry. 😔

I want to see what the plea deal before I say yea or nay.

For the additional Federal Hate Crime charges

Why? Weren't they already found guilty what good comes out of giving them a deal

When are you going to bust China

The only reason for the federal charges was if for some chance they were found not guilty on the state level. They both received life without parole on the state charges, hence the plea deal on the federal level.

How do you reach a plea deal AFTER the trial… the time for that was before the trial… they chose “not guilty”. Done… over.

THIS is the TheJusticeDept that Meek Merrick Garland is running. Actual Justice means nothing to him. Expediency is his mantra! FireMerrickGarland.

They are also likely to face federal hate crimes prosecution.

If serving life in prison without possibility of parole, what does the plea deal matter? Why waste time, money and effort on a trial?
