Civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump has released a statement after a jury found the three white men who killed Ahmaud Arbery guilty of several charges, including felony murder.

“Guilty. Guilty. Guilty,” Crump, who represents Arbery’s family, said on Wednesday (Nov. 24). “After nearly two years of pain, suffering, and wondering if Ahmaud’s killers would be held to account, the Arbery family finally has some justice. Nothing will bring back Ahmaud, but his family will have some peace knowing the men who killed him will remain behind bars and can never inflict their brand of evil on another innocent soul. While today is not one for celebration, it is one for reflection.”

Crump added, “This case, by all accounts, should have been opened and closed…the violent stalking and lynching of Ahmaud Arbery was documented on video for the world to witness. But yet, because of the deep cracks, flaws, and biases in our systems, we were left to wonder if we would ever see justice. Today certainly indicates progress, but we are nowhere close to the finish line. America, you raised your voices for Ahmaud. Now is not the time to let them quiet. Keep marching. Keep fighting for what is right. And never stop running for Ahmaud.”

On Wednesday (Nov. 24), Gregory McMichael, his son Travis McMichael and their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan were convicted for the death of Arbery. Last February, the three men hunted, cornered and murdered the 25-year-old as he jogged through a Georgia neighborhood.

Gregory was found guilty of four counts of felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault, false imprisonment and criminal attempt to commit a felony. Travis was convicted of one count of malice murder, four counts of felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault, one count of false imprisonment and one count of criminal attempt to commit a felony. Bryan was found guilty on three counts of felony murder, one count of aggravated assault, one count of false imprisonment and one count of criminal attempt to commit a felony.
