It was an attempt to dehumanize Arbery in the eyes of the jury and reinforce the Fear of the Dangerous Black Man.

But this is the Georgia that not only elected two Democratic Senators it elected a Jewish man and a Black man.
The eleven white people on that jury believed what they saw with their own eyes and heard with their own ears.
