Glynn County district attorney Jackie Johnson prevented officers from making arrests after the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery in February, two county commissioners told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Friday.
“The police at the scene went to her, saying they were ready to arrest both of them. These were the police at the scene who had done the investigation,” said Commissioner Allen Booker. “She shut them down to protect her friend [Gregory] McMichael.”
Commissioner Peter Murphy concurred, saying that when police turned to Johnson’s office to inform them of intent to arrest McMichael, police “were told not to make the arrest.”
.......
Johnson recused herself from the case shortly following the shooting, and did not respond to the Journal-Constitution‘s request for comment."

LOL, apparently she couldn't see the conflict of interest
of her involvement in the criminal case of a friend and
X employee of 20 yrs service in her Brunswick DA office.
Then she gave it to DA George Barnhill Snr.
who also could not see the conflict of interest
that his attorney son had worked with
Gregory McMichael on an Arbery case.
It wasnt until Arberys parents objected
that he had the sense to recuse himself.
