[4] Ahmaud Arbery, 25, was allegedly murdered by two white men – father and son Gregory McMichael, 64, and 34-year-old Travis McMichael. [5] The letter was aimed at Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, Georgia attorney general Christopher Carr and district attorney Tom Durden. [6] It said Mr Durden should be taken off the case due to a conflict of interest because the elder McMichael was a former police officer.
[7] The letter has urged Mr Carr to instead appoint a special prosecutor to help get a fair trial.
And it also said a man who allegedly filmed the shooting should be charged as an armed accomplice.

Arbery was killed on 23 February as he ran through a neighbourhood in Brunswick – but no charges were brought for more than two months.
