Marcus Arbery Sr., the father of Ahmaud Arbery, is making bold claims about the current state of the prosecution against former District Attorney Jackie Johnson. He believes that the case is being delayed on purpose in order to not hold Johnson accountable for her alleged involvement in covering up his son's murder.
Back in September 2021, Johnson was indicted on two counts: one felony for violating her oath of office and a misdemeanor of hindering a law enforcement officer. This was in response to her alleged attempts to protect the two men who killed Arbery in February 2020, while he was running in a subdivision in Georgia.
The case against the former Brunswick Judicial District Attorney has been in a stagnant state since the charges were made, with no substantial progression. Prosecutors have revealed that Johnson showed favor and affection for the McMichael family throughout the pendency of the case, even when she was making decisions as the District Attorney over the case. The Associated Press also revealed 16 calls between Johnson and McMichael patriarch in the shooting’s aftermath.
Arbery Sr. shared in an interview with Action News Jax that Johnson “believed” the McMicheal’s and allegedly attempted to “cover it up.” While Johnson has been relieved of her duties for the city, she is still a licensed attorney in the state, with no date currently scheduled for her next hearing. Despite this, the Attorney General’s office in Georgia is adamant that the case is still ongoing, regardless of the delay.
It is clear that Arbery Sr. is adamant about making sure Johnson is held accountable for her actions. He and many others continue to fight for justice in the wake of Ahmaud Arbery’s tragic murder.
