(Cobb County, GA) — A new district attorney from Cobb County is now prosecuting the case in the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. Georgia’s attorney general Chris Carr announced the appointment of Joyette Holmes yesterday, saying the Cobb DA’s office has the experience and personnel to ensure justice is done. Father and son, Greg and Travis McMichael, were arrested last week for killing Arbery, who was shot while jogging through a Brunswick neighborhood earlier this year. Meanwhile, federal investigators are considering pursuing hate crime charges in the case.
