The suspects in the Ahmaud Arbery murder case have made several requests ahead of the trial, including not referring to Arbery as “victim”
Defense attorneys for Travis and Greg McMichael, the father and son duo charged with killing Arbery, filed new motions ahead of the trial, according to TMZ.
As part of the motions, the attorneys are asking that only one photograph of Arbery while he was alive be permitted at trial and that the photo shows him alone- without any family or friends.
The defense is also asking that no family members of Arbery’s be able to identify him in court – instead requesting that action be done by an unrelated, third-party witness.
The attorneys argue that too many photos of Arbery will create a jury bias.
Along with those motions, the defense says it doesn’t want Arbery’s family to testify due to possible emotional outbursts that might affect the jurors.
