Shooting of Ahmaud Arbery

- The men claimed Arbery looked like a burglary suspect, but the incident, captured on video, sparked national outrage.
Arbery vs. Martin
- The Arbery case differs from the Trayvon Martin case due to the presence of video evidence and the fact there was a group waiting for him.
- Zimmerman's testimony in the Martin case claimed self-defense, but the lack of video made it controversial.
Delayed Arrest and Media Focus
