FILE - Brunswick Judicial Circuit District Attorney Jackie Johnson presents her closing arguments during the trial of De’Marquise Elkins and Karimah Elkins at Cobb Superior Court in Marietta, Ga., Aug. 2013. SAVANNAH, Ga. — A judge Tuesday set an early 2025 trial date for a former Georgia district attorney charged with interfering with the police investigation into the killing ofis scheduled to begin Jan. 21 in coastal Glynn County, according to an order by Senior Judge John R. Turner.
Johnson recused her office from handling the killing because the man who initiated the deadly chase, Greg McMichael, was a retired investigator who had worked for her. His son, Travis McMichael, had shot Arbery at close range with a shotgun. A neighbor, William “Roddie” Bryan, joined the pursuit and recorded graphic cellphone video of the shooting that leaked online more than two months later.
The judge told The Associated Press in September that the delays were unavoidable because one of Johnson’s attorneys, Brian Steel, had spent most of the past two years in an Atlanta courtroom defending Grammy-winning rapper Young Thug in a sprawling Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr said in a statement that “we look forward to presenting our case in court.”
