A former Georgia district attorney, who served as the top prosecutor for the coastal Brunswick Judicial Circuit, made her first court appearance on Wednesday. She is facing charges of violating her oath of office and hindering police during the investigation of the 2020 killing of Ahmaud Arbery.
Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man, was fatally shot on Feb. 23, 2020, while being chased by armed white men who suspected him of theft. The incident led to the conviction of the two men involved in the chase and shooting, as well as a neighbor who recorded the incident.
