So in terms of the civil case--I don't know Roddie's marital status, but can the wives lose their homes, savings etc over this? I have no idea how this works.
And what's the federal trial about?

They didn't think they were going to kill him. They thought they were detaining a theif.

+1 I think Roddie was the one who released the video, perversely thinking that it exonerated them. Dumb schlub indeed and my god, the privilege. But I believe the judge that he actually showed remorse.
RE the federal case - the family rejected a plea and it’s going to trial in a month. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/ahmaud-arbery-killing-federal-hate-crime-charges-plea-deal-rejected/

I agree. I know that video evidence has been so important in bringing perpetrators of hate crimes to justice, but I can’t imagine how horrendous it is for these families to have their loved ones last moments out there in the world like that. To be than man’s mother—unbearable.
+1 And he was still alive when the beat cops showed up and were more concerned about the perps getting blood on them than rendering aid to the dying man in the street.

And? They f**ked around and found out. Carry a deadly weapon into a crime and someone dies - everyone gets charged with felony murder.
