Even though murder charges have been filed against the white father and son involved in the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery, Atlanta’s Honorable Judge Glenda Hatchett is still livid. She said proper judicial procedures weren’t followed from the start in Glynn County.

“There have been so many shootings of unarmed black men that when we talk about them, we have to refresh people’s memory as to what case we’re talking about,” Hatchett said.

Georgia authorities have arrested Gregory and Travis McMichael after a leaked video of the incident in Brunswick, Georgia, caused national outcry.
