One of the men accused of murdering Ahmaud Arbery is fighting to ban photos of his Confederate Flag

license plate

One of the men accused of chasing and murdering Ahmaud Arbery is fighting to ban photo evidence of his old Georgia flag-themed vanity license plate from his upcoming trial.

In response, the state asked the court to deny Travis McMichael's defense team's motion, stating that the plates were on the truck at the time of the incident where Arbery was shot and killed, court documents say.

"Defendant Travis Michael's choice, and the fact that this vanity plate was on the front of his pick-up truck on Feb. 23, 2020, are intrinsic evidence in this case and can be fully be used by the State to illustrate the intent and motive of Travis McMichael," according to the motion viewed by Insider.

According to court documents, the vanity plate "shows a representation to the State of Georgia State Flag from 1956 through 2001" - which includes a Confederate emblem.

They're all the same.

Losers!

It should be allowed to be admitted into evidence. Let the jurors know what kind of loser they are dealing with.
