A judge has thrown out a felony indictment against a former Georgia prosecutor, ending her trial on charges that she abused her power to protect the men who chased and killed Ahmaud Arbery in 2020.

On the Glynn County Courthouse’s steps Wednesday, Ahmaud Arbery’s mother made an impassioned promise. “The fight continues,” said Wanda Cooper-Jones. “We still run with Ahmaud.” Her comments came soon after a judge dismissed all counts against Jackie Johnson,

Jones, told First Coast News she's "in shock," while Arbery's father, Marcus Arbery, said the judge's decision is "devastating."

A judge has ordered the acquittal of a former Georgia prosecutor on one of two misconduct charges she faced at trial over whether she abused her power to shield the men who chased and killed Ahmaud Arbery in 2020.

Senior Judge John R. Turner on Monday ordered Johnson acquitted of a misdemeanor count of obstructing police. Turner ruled after prosecutors rested their case, declaring they failed to show “one scintilla of evidence” that Johnson had directed police investigators not to arrest the man who shot Arbery.

The trial involving Jackie Johnson concluded unexpectedly, with the judge dropping the final charge before the jury could reach a verdict. Johnson had been accused of hindering the investigation into Ahmaud Arbery’s murder and violating her oath of office.
