The Facts
Three men convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery have been found guilty of all charges in their federal hate crimes trial.
Arbery, a Black man, was killed while jogging in a Georgia neighborhood almost two years ago.
The Spin
Narrative A
The US reckoned with racism and police bias through this case. The verdict is an emotional victory for Arbery's family as well as a victory for justice.
Narrative B
Justice was already served on this case -- without having to resort to wokeness -- when the three received life sentences for murder. This secondary trial was redundant.
