BRUNSWICK, Ga. (CN) — The trial against a former Georgia prosecutor accused of using her position to shield from immediate arrest the men who chased and killed Ahmaud Arbery came to an abrupt end Wednesday morning.

A judge has dismissed charges against former Glynn County District Attorney Jackie Johnson, ending her trial on accusations of abusing power to protect the men who killed Ahmaud Arbery.

On Wednesday, the judge in Jackie Johnson’s trial threw out the last remaining charge against her.The charge accused Johnson of violating her oath of office.On Monday, a judge granted the Defense’s motion for directed verdict of acquittal on the other charge against Johnson.

Jackie Johnson testified she removed herself from the case after learning the shooting involved the son of Greg McMichael, a former investigator for her office.

Senior Judge John R. Turner on Monday ordered Johnson acquitted of a misdemeanor count of obstructing police. Turner ruled after prosecutors rested their case, declaring they failed to show “one scintilla of evidence” that Johnson had directed police investigators not to arrest the man who shot Arbery.
