A former Georgia district attorney, Jackie Johnson, is currently on trial for charges related to the killing of Ahmaud Arbery in 2020. Arbery, a young Black man, was chased and fatally shot by white men in Glynn County nearly five years ago.
Johnson is facing accusations of violating her oath of office and hindering police in the aftermath of Arbery's killing. The prosecution's case took a hit as a police supervisor testified that Johnson did not obstruct her during the investigation.
