USA: Ahmaud Arbery shot dead in the street - lawyer puts evidence pictures online

"The events that captured this video confirm what all the evidence indicated before it was released," said lawyer Lee Merritt , commenting on the disturbing recording, " Ahmaud Arbery was hunted by three white men who only targeted him because of his race and murdered him without justification. That is murder. "

The fact that the lawyer notes this conclusion may seem a bit strange at first. After all, according to these pictures, it is obviously obvious. However, the US judiciary currently does not yet share this view . 

Dark-skinned jogger shot: suspected perpetrators at large

The alleged perpetrators, a former police officer (64), his son (34) and a third unknown , are at large. The third man is not mentioned in the police report in the New York Times. Officially, the two suspects thought Ahmaud Aubrey was a burglar.

The prosecutor had announced that the case would be brought before a jury , but did not respond to the request for pre- trial detention . Until the indictment, the suspects will be able to move freely for a while. Legal proceedings are currently not possible in the United States due to the corona crisis . The pandemic has already indirectly caused another violent racism scandal * due to a “respirator mask”.

The horrific recordings and lack of legal response are now causing a loud outcry in the United States . Attorney General of the State of Georgia, Chris Carr, described himself as "deeply concerned".

A comparable case had only occurred in the summer of last year. A 27-year-old man killed a 17-year-old . And his explanation left almost everyone speechless.
