FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - The murder trial for the two men accused of killing 60-year-old Thomas "Tom" Arnold on Feb. 26, 2022, on the Atlanta Beltline continued on Monday in Fulton County.
What we know:

He was also known for his volunteerism in the community, including his work with Trees Atlanta, a nonprofit that works to protect and improve Atlanta's urban forest. He was also a bicyclist, and after his death, friends and family placed a white cross and yellow bicycle in his honor near the Atlanta Beltline Eastside and Freedom Park trails.
