3:41Now PlayingAttorneys representing Ahmaud Arbery's killers are petitioning to include his criminal history in the trial.
The legal team of Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael, and William Roddie Bryan insist Arbery should be held accountable for the theft crimes he committed and his "angry and aggressive physical and verbal behavior."
Prosecutors strongly objected to including these details as evidence because they did not know of the incidents when they pursued and killed Arbery.
The McMichaels continue to argue Arbery was a burglary suspect who had been stealing items from the neighborhood.
They also claim they shot him in self-defense after he "attacked" them, although he ran in the opposite direction.
The trio pleaded not guilty in federal court on hate crime charges.
Their state murder trial is set to begin on October 18th.
