Here's what's on Leid Stories today.
We continue discussing noteworthy developments in the case we've been following on Leid Stories -- the killing of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery, who went on a jog through a white suburb in Georgia on Feb. 23, 2020 and ended up being chased and cornered by three white men. Two of them--a 65-year old man and his 35-year-old son--were armed. The third man, a friend and neighbor of the other two men, began filming with his phone camera.
As the younger man, who had a shotgun, advanced toward Arbery, Arbery grabbed the weapon and tried to aim it away from his body. The shotgun fired three blasts. Arbery, bleeding badly, fell to the ground and died.
We continue our discussion from yesterday, when the prosecution rested its case. The key question was whether the prosecutor had done a good job during the trial, or whether important points were missed.
The question today:
How will the defendants explain their actions on that fateful day?

Here's what's on Leid Stories today.
In the Glynn County courthouse in Brunswick, Georgia, state prosecutors yesterday rested their case against three white men -- Gregory McMichael, 64; his 35-year-old son Travis McMichael; and William "Roddie" Bryan, a 52-year-old family friend and neighbor of the Travises.
Leid Stories listeners were on the right track in pointing up major issues in the case as the courtroom battle unfolded, and then again as lawyers for the three defendants hinted at their clients' side of the story.
The questions today:
Will there be a theme to the defendants' arguments? What should we expect to hear? How will they explain their actions that fateful day, Feb. 23, 2020, when Ahmaud Arbery was jogging through their predominantly white neighborhood but was chased by the trio and brutally killed?

We pick up from where we left off yesterday on the trial in Brunswick, Georgia, of three men charged with chasing down and killing 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery as he went jogging on Feb. 23, 2020 through a white community near where he lived.
As the second week of the controversial trial proceeds, Leid Stories continues its discussion on major developments in the case and what they might be telling us about how it might end.

The post-election blues
We'll have to hurry up and wait a bit for some official results, especially in races across the country that are still being tabulated or disputed, awaiting their day in court.
But that doesn't stop us from talking about U.S. elections -- what we like, don't like, or could care less about them.
