Carr’s request to the DOJ includes an investigation of the “communications and discussions” between the first two district attorneys assigned to the case, both of whom have since recused themselves.
The case
The fatal shooting of 25-year-old Arbery on February 23 caused outrage in recent days after a video surfaced that appeared to show the fatal confrontation.
Anger mounted by when the suspects in the case had not been arrested more than two months after Arbery was killed.
The suspects, 64-year-old Gregory McMichael and his 34-year-old son Travis McMichael, were arrested May 7 and face charges of felony murder and aggravated assault.
