A record of Greg McMichael’s cellphone calls that day does not show that Johnson called him back. The indictment says Johnson showed “favor and affection” toward Greg McMichael in the investigation and interfered with police officers at the scene by “directing that Travis McMichael should not be placed under arrest.”
The indictment resulted from an investigation Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr requested last year into local prosecutors’ handling of Arbery’s slaying after a cellphone video of the shooting and a delay in charges sparked a national uproar.
“While an indictment was returned today, our file is not closed, and we will continue to investigate in order to pursue justice,” Carr told the AP.
