Taking to Instagram lawyer Blerim Elmazi wrote, “Court hearing in Brunswick, Georgia this morning. No flights to take us there last night. @leemerrittesq and I spent hours trying to find flights or cars.”

Elmazi continued, “At 1 am we started losing hope till we got a call from Jay Z’s people at Roc Nation who chartered a flight for us to attend this hearing with the family of Ahmaud Arbery. Thankful for their support. Updates on the hearing soon.”

 S. Lee Merritt, another member of the legal team also thanked Jay-Z for his help.
