The hate crimes trial centered on the three men's racial bias. In a legal brief filed ahead of Wednesday's arguments, prosecutors said: "As to why defendants chased, trapped, and ultimately killed Arbery, the evidence at trial showed that they held longstanding hate and prejudice toward Black people, while also supporting vigilante justice."The three men's attorneys argue that evidence of past racist comments they made didn't prove a racist intent to harm. The attorneys also argued that the hate crime conviction should be thrown out because Arbery was not killed on a public street, which they said is required for the defendants to be found guilty under federal law. Do you believe that the hate crime conviction of the three defendants in the federal trial was justified? Yes
