More than 200 potential jurors were summoned to a Georgia courthouse for questioning in the trial of a former prosecutor accused of interfering with the investigation into the 2020 killing of Ahmaud Arbery. The former district attorney, Jackie Johnson, is facing charges related to her handling of the case where Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man, was chased and fatally shot by three white men.
The jury selection process began with individual questioning of potential jurors, resulting in the dismissal of 15 individuals who had already formed strong opinions about the case. Over 40 others were excused based on biases or hardships indicated in their questionnaires.
