In our last episode, we concluded our examination of Jason Sheffield’s closing on behalf of Travis McMichael. In The Killing of Ahmaud Arbery: Defense Closing - Part 3, Antholis takes a look at the first half of Lara Hogue’s closing argument on behalf of Greg McMichael including her controversial description of Ahmaud Arbery's "long dirty toenails." We also include Arbery's mother Wanda Cooper-Jones statement about Hogue's remark as well as the comments that Dr. Rashad Richey made on this podcast about the impact of Hogue's words.
