Ahmaud Arbery killing: Georgia AG seeks probe of prosecutors

Al Jazeera  

US state’s attorney general asks Georgia Bureau of Investigation to probe allegations of misconduct in handling of case. The GBI said Attorney General Chris Carr requested the investigation of how the district attorney offices in Brunswick and Waycross handled the February 23 killing of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery. Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement that Carr has been asked to “forward to federal authorities any information that he has.” New district attorney appointed Carr also appointed a black district attorney from suburban Atlanta on Monday to take over the case, making her the fourth prosecutor in charge of a case that has prompted a national outcry over suspicions that race played a role in delaying arrests. Cobb County District Attorney Joyette M Holmes will take over the case from prosecutor Tom Durden, who the state’s attorney general said asked to be replaced by a prosecutor with a large staff as “this case has grown in size and magnitude”. “And the Cobb County District Attorney’s office has the resources, personnel and experience to lead this prosecution and ensure justice is done.” Holmes served four years a magistrate judge in suburban Cobb County before Governor Brian Kemp appointed her last July to succeed GBI Director Vic Reynolds as district attorney.
