The one-time Georgia prosecutor accused of using her office to impede the investigation into Ahmaud Arbery’s killers is set to stand trial more than four years after the Black 26-year-old’s death fueled nationwide protests over racial injustice.

The trial for Jackie Johnson, the former Georgia prosecutor who allegedly hindered the Ahmaud Arbery murder investigation, is set to begin.

The trial of former prosecutor Jackie Johnson, accused of meddling in the investigation of Ahmaud Arbery's killing, is taking place in the same Georgia courthouse where Arbery’s killers were convicted of murder in 2021.

Jackie Johnson will go to trial three years after the hate-crime killing of 25-year-old Arbery, who was hunted down and killed by three armed white men in Brunswick.

Officials have summoned more than 200 potential jurors to a Georgia courthouse where a former prosecutor will stand trial on charges she meddled with police investigating the 2020 killing of Ahmaud Arbery.

Jackie Johnson spent a decade as the state’s top prosecutor for the coastal Brunswick Judicial Circuit. She’s charged with violating her oath of office and hindering police as they investigated Ahmaud Arbery’s death.

Former Georgia district attorney Jackie Johnson went back into the Glynn County courthouse for the start of the jury selection in her trial on Tuesday, almost four years after initially being charged with mishandling the case of Ahmaud Arbery’s murder.
