Prosecutor reads racist messages by Ahmaud Arbery's killer
Travis McMichael and his father, Gregory McMichael, have been jailed since their arrests in May, more than two months after Arbery was slain. Then prosecutor Jesse Evans asked Langford about a text message Travis McMichael had sent him last year that used a slur for Black people when referring to a โcrackhead ... with gold teeth." โWe have substantial evidence that, on the day in question, Mr. Arbery was not a jogger,โ said Robert Rubin, one of Travis McMichael's attorneys. Langford's wife, Ashley Langford, testified that Travis McMichael expressed remorse about shooting Arbery. Travis McMichael's mother, Lee McMichael, testified that he lived with her and his father, has a 4-year-old son and doesn't have a passport.
