GLYNN COUNTY, Ga. (WTOC) - Two years ago today - the video of the killing of Ahmaud Arbery was leaked online and shocked the nation.
The video is what prompted investigators with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to look into the case and how it was handled.
Details about the investigation into possible prosecutorial misconduct are part of a new court filing by the Georgia Attorney Generals Office in the criminal case against former Brunswick District Attorney Jackie Johnson. The May 4th filing is in response to a March 23 motion by Johnsons defense attorneys to dismiss the criminal case against her.
Evidence detailed in the court filing shows 16 phone calls were made between Johnson and her former investigator Greg McMichael - who worked in the DAs office for more than 20 years. The call log shows McMichael called Johnson almost immediately after the shooting on Feb 23, 2020.
