fredricka?nd then, martin, as a result of the arrests, there's a lot of criticism about the original district attorney. some people are calling for her resignation. what can you tell us? >> well, this all goes back to one of the suspects, gregory mcmichael. he's the 64-year-old man who was previously in law enforcement and worked as an investigator for quite some time for the brunswick district attorney's office. and so many are angry at jackie johnson, the brunswick or glynn county district attorney because they believe on the day the incident happened, she could have said that they needed to be arrested. there is a suspicion that she relied on favoritism to mr. mcmichael because of his long service to the county. she has come out with a statement and said that is absolutely untrue. the allegations are not correct. and she says the fault for the fact that there was no arrest lies with the glynn county police department but that issue is far from resolved. >> martin savidge, thank you from bruns
