• Share on:

Jackie Johnson, the former district attorney of Glynn County, testified in her trial on charges of misconduct related to the investigation of Ahmaud Arbery's murder, asserting that she did not interfere with the case. Johnson stated she promptly recused her office after learning the case involved Greg McMichael, a former chief investigator in her office, and claimed her communications with McMichael were primarily about his safety and not about the case itself. The trial continues as Johnson faces scrutiny over her actions during the investigation that followed Arbery's killing on February 23, 2020.
