Trayvon Martin & Ahmaud Arbery: A Reflection on Similarities.
from Black and White and Thin Blue Lines · host Clarke Ahlers & Serge Antonin
Send a textOn February 26, 2012, a “neighborhood watch captain” named George Zimmerman shot and killed a young African American man named Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida. Almost eight years later to the day, in Brunswick, Georgia, 264 miles due north of Sanford, Florida, a group of self-appointed law enforcers – Gregory McMichael, Travis McMichael and William “Roddie” Bryan -- pursued another African American man, Ahmaud Arbery. During the pursuit, Travis McMichael twice shot Ahmaud Arbery in the chest with a shotgun killing him. The two cases are remarkably similar. In this episode, Serge and Clarke reflect on the way in which the cases unfolded, the juries were selected, and the shooters defended themselves in the courtroom.
