Other than the knee jerk title, hate crime doesn’t actually hold that tough of a penalty.
It’s not nothing but normal charges murder charges hold wayyyyyyy more weight

My guess is because he wasn’t just a bystander. He was working with them to track down and detain him (if I recall correctly from the longer video that was released later).

If they can make the legal connection that he helped detain him so they could harm him, yes.

Possibly. That's what we have trials for.

What makes you say that? Did they say something racist or what?

That seems like the biggest reach in this case, but I'm not a lawyer.
Following the dude and assuming he was a criminal is one thing, but being equally responsible for the actions of the mcmichael frickwads is another.

Questions about whether racism played a role in the killing sharpened during a previous hearing when an investigator testified that a third defendant, who took cellphone video of the shooting, told authorities he heard Travis McMichael, 34, utter a racial slur after he blasted Arbery three times with a shotgun.
Associated Press article on the case

During the alleged murder? No, not to my recollection. However, previous statements made by the defendants can easily be construed as a pretext for "hate crime", which, given the climate, is going to make the tacked on charge pretty easy to argue.
ETA: BB making me look like a dumbass. Didn't realize that some of the language occurred during the incident.

I checked with Jack McCoy... He said he was a co-conspirator so he can be held liable for the acts.

Maybe you missed the recent news where he’s used his “out for a jog” excuse when he was trying to steal shite before.
The hate crime charges are a joke. You can argue whether or not there was any authority to chase after him, but the charges they’re going after are silly.
you are going to be severely disappointed by this trial. you believe AA was the aggressor, hilariously moronic perspective

How? By fleeing when no crime had been clearly committed?
