Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr announced Monday that Joyette M. Holmes, who is the first black woman to serve as Cobb County District Attorney, would be taking over the case.
L. Chris Stewart, an Atlanta-based attorney who partnered with S. Lee Merritt and Benjamin Crump to represent the Arbery family, said he was pleased with Carr's decision to appoint Holmes to the case. He said Holmes is a"very effective prosecutor."
Merritt and Stewart said in a joint statement Monday that they made a request to Carr that a new district attorney be put on the Arbery case because the"south Georgia prosecutorial community was tainted by the delay in action prior to the video being released."Holmes said in a statement Monday that her office expects to present the case to a grand jury for indictment.
Johnson recused herself from the case because Gregory McMichael was a former investigator for her office.that Johnson's office told them "no arrests were necessary." But in a letter to Glynn County Police Captain Tom Jump, Barnhill wrote that there was no grounds for arresting the McMichaels. He cited Georgia's citizens arrest law, saying the McMichaels were in"hot pursuit" of a burglary suspect when they followed Arbery.
