Attorneys made a final push Monday to persuade the jury in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, with the prosecution saying that three white men chased him solely “because he was a Black man running down the street” and defense attorneys repeatedly blaming Arbery for his own death.
In closing arguments, a defense attorney for the man who fired the fatal gunshots said the 25-year-old Arbery was killed as he violently resisted a legal effort to detain him to answer questions about burglaries in a neighborhood just outside the port city of Brunswick, Georgia.

I've seen the recording. It seems to me those guys were completely out of line, but I'd want to see the video a hundred more times etc if I was a juror. It seems like the should have called the police and followed him rather than try to detain him.

It seems like they had no right to detain him at all. He wasn't breaking any laws. He hadn't committed any crime. They had no reason to follow him, stop him or assault him. He was defending himself from them.
For people who say "who runs in the attire he was wearing?" People who can't afford workout clothes or decent running shoes.
The defense lawyers in this case know they have no case. The closing arguments...all they did was victim blame and that one attorney who mentioned he had "long dirty toenails..." seriously?
