BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — More than 200 potential jurors were summoned Tuesday to a Georgia courthouse to face questions about whether they can serve
FILE - Former Brunswick Judicial Circuit District Attorney Jackie Johnson listens Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2024, at the Glynn County Courthouse in Brunswick, Georgia, prior to a pretrial motions hearing in her violation of oath office case. BRUNSWICK, Ga.
Officials summoned a large pool of potential jurors given the notoriety of Arbery’s killing and Johnson’s public profile during her decade as the top prosecutor in coastal Glynn County. Greg McMichael, a retired investigator for Johnson’s office, started the pursuit with his son Travis McMichael on Sept. 23, 2020, after Arbery ran past his home just outside the port city of Brunswick. Travis McMichael killed Arbery with a shotgun at point-blank range as a neighbor who joined the chase, William “Roddie” Bryan, recorded the shooting on his cellphone. The men later said they wrongly suspected Arbery was a thief.
Johnson was indicted in September 2021 on a charge of violating her oath of office, a felony punishable by one to five years in prison, and a misdemeanor count of hindering police as they investigated Arbery’s death. The indictment says Johnsons showed “favor and affection” toward Greg McMichael and interfered with police by “directing that Travis McMichael should not be placed under arrest.”
