Four people who took note of the reporting were ex-prosecutors in the Brunswick Judicial Circuit district attorney's office. They had been haunted by the 2010 shooting case and chose to speak out in a follow-up story published in Sunday's AJC.
They are critical of the way their ex-boss, District Attorney Jackie Johnson, handled the case. It is almost unprecedented for this many former prosecutors to speak out about what they view as injustice and the mishandling of a case by a sitting DA.
Here's video of one of the former prosecutors, David Peterson. He says the shooting of an unarmed 35-year-old woman was a murder that was covered up and needs to be reopened by an outside prosecutor.
Tune in tonight at 6:45 on Channel 2 Action News in Atlanta to see more of what Peterson and the other prosecutors have to say about the case.
