Attorney Donaldson conceded he did not have much faith in a retrial being granted and that in his 50-year career, only one of his motions for a retrial has been granted. He instead argues that he is doing this to "have it on the record" and appeal to the Supreme Court down the line. ????? ???????  

Gregory McMichael apologized to Arbery's family in court following the federal sentencing: "I'm sure my words mean very little to you but I want to assure you I never wanted any of this to happen," he said. "There was no malice in my heart or my son's heart that day." ????????????  

The three men also have been convicted and sentenced on federal hate crime charges. The McMichaels were sentenced to life in prison. Bryan was sentenced to 35 years. ?????  

The McMichaels and Bryan had all pleaded not guilty to a nine-count state indictment. ABC News has reached out for comment from their legal teams on the request for a new trial. ????? ???????  

The three men were arrested after a cellphone video Bryan took of the confrontation that captured part of the shooting and was heavily used by both prosecutors and defense attorneys during the trial was leaked to the media despite Bryan having turned it over to Glynn County police on the day of the killing. ????????????
