President Joe Biden on Wednesday reacted to the guilty verdict given to 3 defendants who murdered harmless Ahmaud Arbery during a jog in February 2020.

President Biden said a jury finding three men guilty of murdering Ahmaud Arbery reflects the “justice system doing its job,” but that there’s still work to be done.

“Ahmaud Arbery’s killing – witnessed by the world on video – is a devastating reminder of how far we have to go in the fight for racial justice in this country,” Biden said in a statement. “Mr. Arbery should be here today, celebrating the holidays with his mother, Wanda Cooper Jones, and his father, Marcus Arbery.

“Nothing can bring Mr. Arbery back to his family and to his community, but the verdict ensures that those who committed this horrible crime will be punished.”

Recall that on Wednesday, a jury in Glynn County, Georgia, which was made up of 11 White people and one Black person, found Travis McMichael (Son), Gregory McMichael(Father), and William Bryan guilty of murdering Arbery while he was on a jog through their neighborhood in February 2020. The trio were pursuing Arbery in a pickup truck before Travis McMichael fatally shot him.

All three men pleaded not guilty to the charges, which included malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, and false imprisonment.

“While the guilty verdicts reflect our justice system doing its job, that alone is not enough. Instead, we must recommit ourselves to building a future of unity and shared strength, where no one fears violence because of the color of their skin. My administration will continue to do the hard work to ensure that equal justice under law is not just a phrase emblazoned in stone above the Supreme Court, but a reality for all Americans,” President Biden concluded.
