Judge orders acquittal of ex-prosecutor on 1 of 2 counts in misconduct trial over Ahmaud Arbery case

A judge ordered the acquittal of a former Georgia prosecutor on one misconduct charge related to the Ahmaud Arbery case, stating there was insufficient evidence for conviction.
Senior Judge John R. Turner remarked, "There is not one scintilla of evidence that I’ve heard that would authorize a verdict on that count."
The former prosecutor, Johnson, still faces a felony charge for violating her oath of office.
Prosecutors aimed to show that Johnson protected Arbery’s assailants, but their case weakened after the acquittal on the obstruction charge.
