• Share on:

BRUNSWICK — Glynn County's assistant police chief testified that former District Attorney Jackie Johnson did not direct police to avoid arresting Ahmaud Arbery's killers, countering claims that she hindered the investigation. Assistant Chief Stephanie Oliver stated that Johnson recused herself and sought legal advice from George Barnhill, who ultimately advised that no laws were broken, leading to a delay in arrests until the video of the incident was leaked. Testimony from multiple witnesses indicated that Johnson's actions were within standard practices and did not constitute wrongdoing.
