Dismissal of Felony Charge Against Former Brunswick District Attorney Jackie Johnson in Ahmaud Arbery Case

Former Brunswick District Attorney Jackie Johnson had a felony charge dismissed for hindering the investigation into the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. The judge cited a technical flaw in the indictment. Johnson denied trying to shield Arbery's killers and immediately recused herself from the case. The men responsible for Arbery's murder are serving life prison sentences. Prosecutors faced setbacks in proving obstruction charges against Johnson.
