A Georgia judge denied bond Friday for the father and son charged with murder in the February slaying of Ahmaud Arbery

Superior Court Judge Timothy Walmsley said he's concerned that Gregory McMichael and his adult son, Travis McMichael, took the law into their own hands and endangered neighbors when they pursued the 25-year-old Black man with guns and shot him in a residential street

Defense attorneys say the McMichaels had reason to suspect Arbery was a burglar and Travis McMichael was defending himself when he shot Arbery in the port city of Brunswick.
