‘You’re going home,’ police tell Ahmaud Arbery’s killer in video shown to jury

A jury viewed a video showing a police investigator telling Travis McMichael, who shot Ahmaud Arbery, that he wasn't being arrested shortly after the incident occurred on February 23, 2020.
The prosecution claims former District Attorney Jackie Johnson violated her oath by recommending another attorney to oversee the investigation without disclosing that he believed the shooting was justified.
The McMichaels and neighbor William Bryan were convicted of murder and federal hate crimes after a cellphone video of Arbery's killing was leaked online, leading to further investigation.
Wanda Cooper-Jones, Arbery's mother, testified about the lack of information shared with her regarding her son's death until the case was taken over by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
