事件經過
2020年2月23日,阿伯里當時被三名白人追赶,特拉维斯·麦克米克(Travis McMichael )和他的父亲格雷戈里(Gregory)坐在車內並舉起武器朝艾哈迈德·阿伯里射擊,威廉·"罗迪"·布莱恩(William "Roddie" Bryan)則在另一辆车上,他用手机记录了特拉维斯·麦克米克父子追赶和射击的过程 [1][2]。後來特拉维斯下车并當著阿伯里的面挥舞猎枪,結果兩人发生了肢体冲突,期间特拉维斯把阿贝里给毙了[1]。三位白人追趕艾哈迈德·阿伯里的起因是格雷戈里一開始看到阿贝里在格雷戈里家附近跑步。他怀疑阿贝里是不是在附近偷窃 [4][5],並立即追击阿贝里[6],但警方後來調查時没有發現阿贝里的犯罪证据 [7][8]。威廉·"罗迪"·布莱恩看到特拉维斯·麦克米克父子追逐阿伯里後,也加入了他們的行列,但其實威廉·"罗迪"·布莱恩並不知道阿贝里到底幹了何種壞事 [9][10][11][12]。
逮捕
格林县警察局(GCPD)表示,布伦瑞克地区检察官办公室曾在2月23日建议警察不要逮捕三位白人[13][14],但布伦瑞克地区检察官办公室则否认给出過这样的建议。韋克羅斯地区检察官乔治·巴恩希尔(George Barnhill)同樣曾經两次建议格林县警察局不要逮捕白人嫌犯,一次是在2月24日,這是在他2月27日參與此案之前[15][16] ,第二次是在4月2日,同时宣布他打算因他儿子和格雷戈里·麦克米克之间的联系而回避此案[16][17][18]。巴恩希尔于4月7日被要求回避此案,该案于4月13日被移送至大西洋地区检察官办公室[16]。在格雷戈里·麦克米克的要求下[19],一位当地律师向当地电台WGIG提供了一個枪击影片,该电台于5月5日将視頻发布到他们的网站[20]。该视频在YouTube和Twitter上发布后[21][22],引發了病毒式传播[23]。几小时内,大西洋地区检察官汤姆·德登(Tom Durden)表示,大陪审团将决定是否提出指控,并接受了州长布赖恩·肯普的提议,让乔治亚州调查局(GBI)调查此案 [24][21]。
乔治亚州调查局分别于5月7日和5月21日逮捕了麦克米克父子和布莱恩,指控他们犯有重罪谋杀和其他罪行 [25][26][27]。该案件最终被移交给科布縣地区检察官办公室[28]。检察官提出了更多的证据来支持谋杀指控,包括威廉·"罗迪"·布莱恩向乔治亚州调查局提供的一份声明,內容是格雷戈里·麦克米克在阿伯里奄奄一息时说了句“fucking nigger”(该死的黑鬼)[29]。6月24日,大陪审团对这三人分别以恶意谋杀、重罪谋杀(四项罪名)、故意伤害(两项罪名)、非法监禁和企图非法拘禁的罪名提出起诉[30]。
審判
当地政府对此案的处理,即麦克米克父子在案发74天后才被逮捕,在相關影片传开后,引发了美國全国范围内的批评和关于美国种族歧視的討論。众多宗教领袖、政治家、运动员和其他名人谴责了这一事件 [31][32][33]。佐治亚州总检察长克里斯托弗·M·卡尔于2020年5月10日正式要求联邦调查局介入此案,該請求于次日获准 [34][35][36] 。2021年4月,所有三人都被起诉,联邦政府指控他们各犯有一项干涉权利罪(仇恨罪)和一项绑架未遂罪,而麦克米克父子还被指控在暴力犯罪中使用枪支[37]。
所有三名被告于2021年11月24日在布伦瑞克的格林县法院被判犯有重罪谋杀罪,以及其他指控,包括严重伤害罪、非法监禁和企图犯下重罪 [38][39]。特拉维斯·麦克米克被认定犯有最严重的恶意谋杀罪[40]。所有被定罪的三人都有可能被判終身監禁[41][41]。2022年1月7日,美國佐治亚州格林郡高等法院判處射殺非裔男子艾哈邁德·阿伯里的3名白人终身监禁[42]。同年3月8日,3名白人中的麦克迈克尔父子提出上诉[43],同年8月8日获联邦法庭裁定犯仇恨犯罪罪,被判终身监禁[44]。
