SAVANNAH, Ga.—A federal judge has scheduled an early 2022 trial for three Georgia men charged with hate crimes in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery.

U.S. District Judge Lisa Godbey Wood issued a written order Tuesday setting jury selection to begin Feb. 7 at the federal courthouse in the coastal city of Brunswick. That’s just a few months after the same defendants are scheduled to stand trial on murder charges in a Georgia state court.
