Jury Duty host Kary Antholis continues his gavel to gavel examination of the trial of Travis and Greg McMichael and William “Roddie” Bryan. On January 7 of this year, Judge Timothy Walmsley heard the sentencing recommendation from Prosecutor Linda Dunikoski, victim impact statements from members of Ahmaud Arbery’s family, and arguments from lawyers for each of the now convicted men. Judge Walmsley then rendered the sentences along with a statement offering context for his decision. In The Killing of Ahmaud Arbery: The Sentencing Hearing — Part 1, Antholis begins our examination of that hearing with a look at the sentences recommended by the prosecution, the victims’ impact statements, and Prosecutor Dunikoski’s argument in support of her recommendation.

January 21, 2022 S3 E45: The Killing of Ahmaud Arbery: Prosecutor's Rebuttal Closing — Part 1
Jury Duty host Kary Antholis continues his gavel to gavel examination of the trial of Travis and Greg McMichael and William "Roddie" Bryan. In The Killing of Ahmaud Arbery: Prosecutor's Rebuttal Closing — Part 1, Antholis examines the rebuttal closing argument of Prosecutor Linda Dunikoski. The host observes that while Dunikowski rehashes many of the legal concepts that she laid out in her opening, this time she does so while repeatedly pointing out many of the flaws in the defense arguments. Dunikoski seems to have approached this jury as a group who would pay careful attention to the judge’s instructions and take seriously their responsibility to apply the law to the facts in this case.

Jury Duty will go through the prosecutor’s rebuttal in great detail, because, in retrospect, we believe that she read this jury very well, and used this rebuttal to nail down the convictions against the three defendants.
