(CNN) — Federal prosecutors indicted the three men accused of killing Ahmaud Arbery on hate crime and attempted kidnapping charges, the Department of Justice announced Wednesday.

Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man, was out for a jog near Brunswick, Georgia, on February 23, 2020, when he was chased down in a truck by three men and fatally shot. Two of the three men -- Gregory and Travis McMichael -- claimed to be conducting a citizen's arrest and acted in self-defense.

A third man, William "Roddie" Bryan Jr., who recorded video of Arbery's death, allegedly hit Arbery with his truck after he joined the McMichaels in the chase.

All three men were charged with one count of interference with rights and with one count of attempted kidnapping, according to a news release from the US Justice Department.

1. About time...

And let's never forget, if someone hadn't leaked that video, these murderers would have gotten off with self-defense and "citizen's arrest."

we can never believe automatically the "verdicts" rendered by the cops and prosecutors in cases like this.

2. And it was leaked to somehow explain why the event wasn't murder. This is lucky to be in the light.

3. I hope the Abolish the police people are paying close attention to this case.

Because if you abolish the police, this is what you will get.
