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?
