When Travis McMichael was pronounced guilty of murder, Arbery's father, Marcus Arbery Sr., let out a “gut-wrenching grunt," his attorney Ben Crump said. Of the son she called Quez, Cooper-Jones said, “He will now rest in peace.” And she made her son a promise before she laid him in the ground, that his mom would fight for justice for him.” "They told her that there would be no arrest, that there would be no accountability, that there would be no justice. “Eighteen months ago when she learned about the murder of her son, they told her that she would just have to deal with it alone," Merritt said. Greg McMichael, his son Travis McMichael and neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan were convicted of murder in the February 2020 death of the 25-year-old Black man, who was chased and fatally shot while running through their coastal Georgia neighborhood in an attack that became part of the larger national reckoning on racial injustice.Ĭooper-Jones' attorney, Lee Merritt, hailed his client's unflinching fight for justice.
