(Newser) – Two of the three white men convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery repeatedly used racial slurs in text messages and social media posts, an FBI witness testified Wednesday in their federal hate crimes trial. FBI intelligence analyst Amy Vaughan led the jury through dozens of conversations that Travis McMichael and William « Roddie » Bryan had with others, identified only by their initials, in the months and years before the 25-year-old Black man’s killing. Vaughan said the FBI wasn’t able to access Greg McMichael’s phone because it was encrypted, the AP reports.
