A Georgia grand jury on Thursday indicted a former prosecutor on misconduct charges related to the probe into the death of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery.

Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr in a press release said that Ex-Brunswick Judicial Circuit District Attorney Jackie Johnson is indicted on allegations that she used her position to help protect the three men charged with murder in Arbery’s case.
