In the trial of the three white men who plead not guilty to charges of murder, aggraved assault, and false imprisonment in the death of Ahmaud Arbery, only 1 of 12 Jurors are Black. As the trial heads into Day 6, this panel dissects how that jury representation will or won’t equate to justice. Criminal Defense attorney Bernarda Villalona, Transformative Justice Coalition Founder Barbara Arnwine, and Brunswick Activist Triana Arnold James join. RBN Special Correspondent Kennedy Rue McCullough takes us through this week’s Entertainment Round-Up which includes a reimagining of The Preacher’s Wife, the ‘Atlanta’ Season 3 trailer, and Ye’s Drink Champs interview that broke the internet. Daryl Archie and Blue Telusma join in conversation. The conflict between the Ethiopian Federal Government and Tigray’s Regional State has surpassed one-year.
