On the Glynn County Courthouse’s steps Wednesday, Ahmaud Arbery’s mother made an impassioned promise. “The fight continues,” said Wanda Cooper-Jones. “We still run with Ahmaud.” Her comments came soon after a judge dismissed all counts against Jackie Johnson,

Jones, told First Coast News she's "in shock," while Arbery's father, Marcus Arbery, said the judge's decision is "devastating."

The judge overseeing the criminal trial of former Brunswick District Attorney Jackie Johnson has dismissed one of the two charges against her. The ruling, made Monday in a Glynn County courtroom, comes as Johnson faces accusations stemming from her actions after the fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery in Feb.

The State rested their case Monday in the Jackie Johnson trial. Johnson is the former Brunswick district attorney accused of meddling in the Ahmaud Arbery murder investigation. Monday a judge granted the Defense’s motion for directed verdict of acquittal for count 2 of Jackie Johnson’s indictment.
