Georgia DA faces 5 years in Prison for Protecting Ahmaud Arbery's Murderers, Delaying their Arrest for 2 Months [In general, Practicing Racism/White Supremacy Requires More than 1 White Person]
/From [HERE] A white Georgia District Attorney is facing five years in prison for allegedly helping to protect Gregory McMichael after his son fatally shot 25-year-old black jogger Ahmaud Arbery.
A grand jury on Thursday indicted former Brunswick District Attorney Jackie Johnson for allegedly violating her oath of office and obstructing law enforcement following the deadly shooting in February 2020.
The indictment, which was first filed back in September, alleges that after his son, Travis, 35, fatally shot Arbery, Greg McMichael, 65, called Johnson's cellphone - having worked in her office as an investigator until he retired in 2019 - and said: '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,' he continued in the 39-second call.
Officers with the Glynn County Police Department investigating the killing also reportedly called Johnson for advice on what to doin the aftermath, according to CNN, and Johnson allegedly 'knowingly and willfully directed that Travis McMichael should not be placed under arrest, contrary to the laws of the State.'
The indictment further claims Johnson violated her oath of office 'by showing favor and affection to Greg McMichael during the investigation into the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery.'
She could face five years in prison if convicted by a jury.
It was unclear as of Sunday who is representing Johnson in the case. [MORE]
