A former district attorney in Georgia has been charged after allegedly interfering with the arrest of a man involved in the 2020 shooting death of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery.
Former Brunswick District Attorney Jackie Johnson has been indicted on charges of violating her oath as a public officer and obstructing a police officer.
It is quite rare for district attorneys to be charged like this. Even blatant offenses have historically been ignored by federal officials who prefer to let voters decide if the official should stay in office or not. Which I find ridiculous. Knowing that a district attorney obstructed justice and not doing anything about it only encourages them to commit more crimes. Needless to say, crime in the office of the chief prosecutor of a county is not a good thing. Yet, it goes on unchecked as we have seen with Ramsey County Attorney John Choi in Minnesota.
