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.

Opening statements are set to begin today in the trial of a former Georgia prosecutor charged with interfering in the investigation of the 2020 killing of Ahmaud Arbery.

Senior Judge John R. Turner planned to seat a jury Tuesday morning at the Glynn County courthouse in the port city of Brunswick. Jury selection began a week ago but was delayed by a rare winter storm that left the coastal community coated in snow and ice.

Bronny James got the surprise call to play in the first quarter for the Lakers and finished with the first serious playing time of his NBA career. Bronny took off on a fast break and his shot was rejected by Adam Bona. Bronny played 15 minutes just four days after he dropped a career-high 31 points for the South Bay Lakers of the G League.

Judge ruled to dismiss one criminal count against Jackie Johnson, the former Brunswick-circuit district attorney accused of improperly influencing the investigation into Ahmaud Arbery's death. The judge said prosecutors failed to present evidence Johnson obstructed Glynn County Police officers.
