Ex-prosecutor charged with meddling in Ahmaud Arbery case appears in court ahead of trial
Briefly

Jackie Johnson's indictment arises from allegations that she unlawfully interfered with the investigation into Ahmaud Arbery's death, thereby violating her oath of office.
Johnson's defense claims her focus was on pursuing an indictment against a police chief, insisting that she was unaware of the details surrounding Arbery's case.
Prosecutors point to evidence, including 16 calls between Johnson and Greg McMichael, suggesting a potential conflict of interest amidst her efforts to hinder the investigation.
The trial is set for January 21, where Johnson faces serious charges affecting her longstanding career as a prosecutor after the community's outrage over Arbery's killing.
