Read our privacy policy A judge Tuesday set an early 2025 trial date for a former Georgia district attorney charged with interfering with the police investigation into the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, Jury selection in the criminal misconduct trial of Jackie Johnson is scheduled to begin Jan. 21 in coastal Glynn County, according to an order by Senior Judge John R. Turner. The judge's scheduling order Tuesday was the first action taken since last November, when Turner denied legal motions by Johnson’s lawyers to dismiss the case. The judge told The Associated Press in September that the delays were unavoidable because one of Johnson's attorneys, Brian Steel, had spent most of the past two years in an Atlanta courtroom defending Grammy-winning rapper Young Thug in a sprawling racketeering and gang trial. Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr said in a statement that "we look forward to presenting our case in court.” While the men responsible for Arbery’s death are serving life prison sentences, his family has insisted that justice won’t be complete for them until Johnson stands trial.
