“It was continuous,” he said. “Every couple months, you would hear of something else, something else.”
When Mr. Arbery was seen running through the neighborhood on the afternoon of Feb. 23, 2020, the men pursued him — a decision that prosecutors have characterized as one based on flimsy assumptions about Mr. Arbery and his presence in Satilla Shores.
“He was mad,” Mr. McMichael said. “Which made me think that something has happened. It’s not what I expected.”
He continued: “This guy is obviously — something is not right. He seems dangerous to me.”
Toward the end of his testimony, Mr. McMichael described the moment he realized that Mr. Arbery had died.
“I stood up, realized that I had a gun here, and that he’s passed away, and the police are on the scene,” Mr. McMichael said, his voice breaking as he neared tears. “So I walked over to the side, and put my shotgun down. After that, it was a blur.”
Mr. McMichael is expected back on the witness stand on Thursday morning.
