2020年2月23日,25歲的黑人男子艾哈邁德·馬爾克斯·阿伯里(Ahmaud Marquez Arbery)在美國佐治亞州格林縣布朗斯維克附近的薩蒂拉海岸(Satilla Shores)被殺害[1][2][3]。
事件經過
2020年2月23日,阿伯里當時被三名白人追趕,特拉維斯·麥克米克(Travis McMichael )和他的父親格雷戈里(Gregory)坐在車內並舉起武器朝艾哈邁德·阿伯里射擊,威廉·"羅迪"·布萊恩(William "Roddie" Bryan)則在另一輛車上,他用手機記錄了特拉維斯·麥克米克父子追趕和射擊的過程 [1][2]。後來特拉維斯下車並當著阿伯里的面揮舞獵槍,結果兩人發生了肢體衝突,期間特拉維斯把阿貝里給斃了[1]。三位白人追趕艾哈邁德·阿伯里的起因是格雷戈里一開始看到阿貝里在格雷戈里家附近跑步。他懷疑阿貝里是不是在附近偷竊 [4][5],並立即追擊阿貝里[6],但警方後來調查時沒有發現阿貝里的犯罪證據 [7][8]。威廉·"羅迪"·布萊恩看到特拉維斯·麥克米克父子追逐阿伯里後,也加入了他們的行列,但其實威廉·"羅迪"·布萊恩並不知道阿貝里到底幹了何種壞事 [9][10][11][12]。
逮捕
格林縣警察局(GCPD)表示,布倫瑞克地區檢察官辦公室曾在2月23日建議警察不要逮捕三位白人[13][14],但布倫瑞克地區檢察官辦公室則否認給出過這樣的建議。韋克羅斯地區檢察官喬治·巴恩希爾(George Barnhill)同樣曾經兩次建議格林縣警察局不要逮捕白人嫌犯,一次是在2月24日,這是在他2月27日參與此案之前[15][16] ,第二次是在4月2日,同時宣布他打算因他兒子和格雷戈里·麥克米克之間的聯繫而迴避此案[16][17][18]。巴恩希爾於4月7日被要求迴避此案,該案於4月13日被移送至大西洋地區檢察官辦公室[16]。在格雷戈里·麥克米克的要求下[19],一位當地律師向當地電台WGIG提供了一個槍擊影片,該電台於5月5日將視頻發布到他們的網站[20]。該視頻在YouTube和Twitter上發布後[21][22],引發了病毒式傳播[23]。幾小時內,大西洋地區檢察官湯姆·德登(Tom Durden)表示,大陪審團將決定是否提出指控,並接受了州長布賴恩·肯普的提議,讓喬治亞州調查局(GBI)調查此案 [24][21]。
喬治亞州調查局分別於5月7日和5月21日逮捕了麥克米克父子和布萊恩,指控他們犯有重罪謀殺和其他罪行 [25][26][27]。該案件最終被移交給科布縣地區檢察官辦公室[28]。檢察官提出了更多的證據來支持謀殺指控,包括威廉·"羅迪"·布萊恩向喬治亞州調查局提供的一份聲明,內容是格雷戈里·麥克米克在阿伯里奄奄一息時說了句「fucking nigger」(該死的黑鬼)[29]。6月24日,大陪審團對這三人分別以惡意謀殺、重罪謀殺(四項罪名)、故意傷害(兩項罪名)、非法監禁和企圖非法拘禁的罪名提出起訴[30]。
審判
當地政府對此案的處理,即麥克米克父子在案發74天後才被逮捕,在相關影片傳開後,引發了美國全國範圍內的批評和關於美國種族歧視的討論。眾多宗教領袖、政治家、運動員和其他名人譴責了這一事件 [31][32][33]。佐治亞州總檢察長克里斯托弗·M·卡爾於2020年5月10日正式要求聯邦調查局介入此案,該請求於次日獲准 [34][35][36] 。2021年4月,所有三人都被起訴,聯邦政府指控他們各犯有一項干涉權利罪(仇恨罪)和一項綁架未遂罪,而麥克米克父子還被指控在暴力犯罪中使用槍支[37]。
所有三名被告於2021年11月24日在布倫瑞克的格林縣法院被判犯有重罪謀殺罪,以及其他指控,包括嚴重傷害罪、非法監禁和企圖犯下重罪 [38][39]。特拉維斯·麥克米克被認定犯有最嚴重的惡意謀殺罪[40]。所有被定罪的三人都有可能被判終身監禁[41][41]。2022年1月7日,美國喬治亞州格林郡高等法院判處射殺非裔男子艾哈邁德·阿伯里的3名白人終身監禁[42]。同年3月8日,3名白人中的麥克邁克爾父子提出上訴[43],同年8月8日獲聯邦法庭裁定犯仇恨犯罪罪,被判終身監禁[44]。
