Only One Black Juror Selected as Trial for Killers of Ahmaud Arbery Gets Underway
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Georgia, the judge overseeing the murder trial of three white men who
hunted down and killed Black jogger Ahmaud Arbery last year found
"intentional discrimination" in the jury selection after a single Black
juror was chosen. The 11 other jurors are white. The judge nonetheless
is allowing the trial to go ahead, with opening statements expected
Friday.
