Cobb County District Attorney Joyette Holmes is the lead prosecutor in the Ahmaud Arbery case.

Arbery was shot to death earlier this year while jogging in a South Georgia neighborhood. All three white men charged in the death of the Black jogger have pleaded not guilty.

On June 24, Holmes announced that a grand jury had also returned an indictment against the three men on counts including malice murder, felony murder and criminal attempt to commit false imprisonment.
