BREAKING: Travis McMichael, the man who shot and killed Ahmaud Arbery, will face a federal hate-crimes trial
, also withdrew his pledge to plead guilty in a deal that had previously spurred outrage from the community and Arbery's family.
The proposed federal plea deal with the Department of Justice, which was filed Sunday evening, was rejected during a Monday hearing by U.S. District Judge Lisa Godbey Wood after statements from Arbery's family insisting that the men deserved to spend the first 30 years of their life sentence in state prison rather than federal prison.
Already sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, the McMichaels choosing to stand trial on the federal charges means they could face another life sentence. Bryan, who was sentenced in state court to life in prison with the possibility of parole, also faces life without parole in the federal case.
Defense lawyers for the men unsuccessfully argued during the trial that their clients were trying to perform a citizen’s arrest on Arbery in connection with suspected break-ins in the area.
