Judge Dismisses Key Charge Against Former Glynn County DA Jackie Johnson in Arbery Case Trial

• Share on:

The prosecution's case against former Glynn County District Attorney Jackie Johnson faced a setback when Senior Judge John R. Turner dismissed the obstruction charge against her, stating there was insufficient evidence. Johnson is still facing a charge of violating her oath of office, which her attorney argues is invalid due to the timing of her oaths. Testimony revealed that Johnson did not instruct police not to arrest Ahmaud Arbery's killers, and she recused herself from the case after learning of a prior connection to one of the suspects.
