Former District Attorney Facing Five Years in Prison for ‘Protecting’ the Men Who Shot Ahmaud Arbery
Former Georgia District Attorney Jackie Johnson is facing five years in prison for allegedly helping “protect” Gregory McMichael after his son fatally shot Ahmaud Arbery.
The former Brunswick District Attorney was indicted by a grand jury on Thursday over her alleged actions surrounding the 2020 shooting.
The indictment claims that Johnson violated her oath of office and obstructed law enforcement. It alleges that after Travis McMichael fatally shot Arbery, his father Greg McMichael, who previously worked in Johnson’s office, called her cellphone and told her that he needed help.
“Jackie this is Greg. Could you call me as soon as you possibly can. My son and I have been involved in a shooting and I need some advice right away,” McMichael reportedly said in the voicemail.
