| 2021-09-03 |
| [NYPost] A former district attorney in Georgia was charged with trying to shield the white men who allegedly chased down and killed black jogger Ahmaud Arbery from hate crime charges last February. Former Brunswick Judicial Circuit District Attorney Jackie Johnson was indicted for violating her oath of office and hindering a law enforcement officer. Johnson used to work with suspect Greg McMichael, then an investigator in her office. He called the then-DA soon after he chased down Arbery, 25, in a pickup truck while his son Travis McMichael shot the victim dead in the coastal town of Brunswick, prosecutors said. |

| #2 Try this trick on the Washington DC DA's who failed to press charges against any of the rioters of the 2017 Inauguration. |

| #1 The other 1/2 of the story for Ahmaud Arbery Ahmaud Arbery - No babe in the woods. RAP SHEET 2013- he pleaded guilty to charges he carried a gun onto a high school campus, a year after he graduated. Rodney Ellis, police chief for the Glynn County school system, testified at Wednesday's hearing that Arbery tried to evade officers on foot and stopped only when two of them pointed guns at him. 2017 - He pleaded guilty to shoplifting charges where he tried to steal a TV from a Walmart store. Two other officers testified they recalled encounters with Arbery, saying he became angry when questioned. He was not charged with crimes in either instance. And a local convenience store manager, Crystal Wilson, told the judge about a young Black man who several times stole food. Wilson said she recognized it was Arbery after seeing his photo in the newspaper after his death. Mental Issues The judge chose not to hear testimony on Arbery's mental health, expressing concern about discussing private medical records in open court. According the Police report. There was an altercation between Arbery and Travis in which they struggled over a shotgun. That is when Arbery was shot. MY TAKE The shooters overacted and should have handled the situation better. |
