BRUNSWICK — After a 2½-day delay due to a winter storm, prospective jurors resumed their duties on Friday in the trial of former Glynn County District Attorney Jackie Johnson. Johnson is accused of obstructing the investigation into the murder of Ahmaud Arbery, who was killed in February 2020 by three white men, an incident that ignited protests against racial injustice. The trial has faced challenges in selecting an impartial jury, as many potential jurors expressed strong opinions about the case and the local justice system.
