Defense lawyers for the former Brunswick District Attorney on trial are questioning the legality of the indictment filed against her.

The trial against a former Georgia prosecutor accused of using her position to shield from immediate arrest the men who chased and killed Ahmaud Arbery came to an abrupt end Wednesday morning. The judge overseeing the case announced from the bench that he would grant a special demurrer to dismiss the final remaining count against former Brunswick Judicial Circuit District Attorney Jackie Johnson.

The men told police they suspected Arbery was a burglar and argued that he was shot in self-defense. No one was arrested for more than two months, until cellphone video of the shooting leaked online and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation took over the case from local police.
