The latest in the trial in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery

Defense attorney Laura Hogue argued during her closing statement that Ahmaud Arbery was not a "victim" when he was shot and killed on Feb. 23, 2020.

During her closing, the defense attorney for Gregory McMichael argued that Arbery was a "recurring intruder" at a construction site in the neighborhood.

Hogue also commented on Arbery's appearance on the day he was killed.

"Turning Ahmaud Arbery into a victim after the choices that he made, does not reflect the reality of what's brought Ahmaud Arbery to Satilla Shores," she said. The defense attorney then noted Arbery was wearing khaki shorts and criticized his personal hygiene the day he was killed.

CNN's Ryan Young reported that Hogue's jarring description of Arbery "upset the family."

"Of course we also watched in court people reacting to some of the words that she [the defense attorney] was saying. In fact, one thing sort of stood out to a lot of us there. At one moment, Wanda Cooper-Jones, which is Ahmaud Arbery's mother, left court, almost tripping on people, when she got upset over a statement that Laura Hogue, that attorney, made ... It seemed like that upset the family at that point," Young said.

The prosecution has said surveillance videos show Arbery at the site multiple times, including the day he was killed, but he never broke in or took anything. Witnesses also testified that the defendants did not know at the time that Arbery had been at the site that day.

The property's owner, Larry English Jr., testified in September he probably told the McMichaels about incidents on his property, but he never authorized the McMichaels to confront anyone.

Defense attorney Laura Hogue wrapped up her closing argument by telling the jurors they have an "awesome" responsibility.

The attorney for defendant Gregory McMichael said "compromise has absolutely no place in the deliberative process." 

She told the jurors it is "important" to "not to give up any opinions you have, any thoughts and beliefs you have just to get along or just to be unanimous."

"Greg McMichael is not a murderer. He's not guilty," Hogue said at the finish.

Hogue was the second of three defense attorneys to deliver closing statements today.

Defense attorney Laura Hogue called shooting victim Ahmaud Arbery a "recurring intruder" who repeatedly trespassed when entering an open construction site.

She said Arbery, "made the decision to repeatedly and unlawfully enter" the site "over and over again."

She suggested that when the defendants tried to detain Arbery on the street he should have stopped and waited for the police.

She said that no one is saying that Arbery "deserved to die for whatever it was he was doing inside of 220 Satilla Drive, because that's not why he died." 

"He died because for whatever inexplicable, illogical reason, instead of staying where he was, whatever overwhelming reason he had to avoid being captured that day and arrested by the police," she said.

More context: The prosecution, meanwhile, has said surveillance videos show Arbery there multiple times, including the day he was killed, but he never broke in or took anything. Witnesses also testified that the McMichaels did not know at the time that Arbery had been at the site that day.

The property's owner, Larry English Jr., testified in September he probably told the McMichaels about incidents on his property, but he never authorized the McMichaels to confront anyone.

CNN's Devon M. Sayers, Jason Hanna and Eliott C. McLaughlin contributed reporting to this post. 

Defense attorney Laura Hogue said there are no "magic words" you have to say to perform a citizen's arrest.

Hogue said in her closing argument that if a crime "happens within your knowledge or immediate presence, then you can effectuate a citizen's arrest."

What is this about: Whether the defendants had the right to detain Ahmaud Arbery through a citizen's arrest has been a point of contention that has come up multiple times during the closing arguments.

The state argued during its closing that the defendants did not have the right to make a citizen's arrest because they had not observed or had no immediate knowledge of any crime committed by Arbery. The defense has argued that their clients did have the right to make a citizen's arrest. The judge said that he will instruct the jury on the law before they deliberate.

Defense attorney Laura Hogue said there are "only two questions" for the jury to answer to reach a verdict for the charges that the state has brought against Gregory McMichael. 

Hogue said her client "pulled no trigger."

"How could the state seek a conviction for malice murder as Greg stood in the back of the pick-up truck, on the phone with 911, as the fatal shots were fired?" she asked.

Hogue's closing statement is ongoing. She is the second defense attorney to deliver closing remarks at the trial today. Earlier, Jason Sheffield, defense attorney for Travis McMichael, gave his closing remarks.

The court has resumed and the defense is continuing to make its closing statements.

Laura Hogue, attorney for Gregory McMichael, is now delivering her closing argument.

Defense attorney Jason Sheffield just wrapped up his closing argument by asking the jury to "set aside" feelings when they deliberate.

"It will take courage," Sheffield added.

The court is now taking a lunch break. The other two defense attorneys will present their closing arguments when the court resumes. 

Defense attorney Jason Sheffield said that Travis McMichael "testified even though he didn't have to." 

He said that McMichael chose to testify because he wanted the jury to "understand" the "totality of the facts."

Sheffield added that McMichael took a risk by testifying.

"He's got everything to lose by testifying, we are judgmental people," he said.

The defense's closing argument is ongoing.

Defense attorney Jason Sheffield said during his closing argument that when Ahmaud Arbery came towards Travis McMichael, he told Arbery to stop and not come any closer.

The defense attorney said that McMichael was concerned that Arbery had a gun.

He said that the defendant had "two options" — "watching" Arbery and waiting "until the police arrive and giving directions" or "stopping him."

Sheffield said that the defendants chose to attempt to detain Arbery to prevent "from getting beaten and possibly killed." 

He said that McMichael raised his gun "to defend himself, to protect himself."

The defense's closing argument is ongoing.
