Leid Stories--Ahmaud Arbery's Killing and Botched Investigation Prompts Calls for New Prosecutorial System and Police Personnel--05.18.20

Ahmaud Arbery's coldblooded murder a reminder that we're often deluding ourselves about all the "progress" made in racial equality and justice.

Leid Stories two weeks ago had said that "reform" of the Glynn County, Ga., criminal-justice apparatus will not prevent more flawed investigations of the type that have plagued Ahmaud Arbery case.

The city's criminal-justice system is beyond repair and should be scrapped and replaced, Leid said.

The Wall Street Journal reported on May 16 that Glynn County residents, tired of botched investigations and a climate of corruption within its criminal-justice system, want it dismantled and replaced.
