Hopes of a new witness dashed in case of slain Georgia black jogger

Hopes of finding a new witness in the case of an unarmed black jogger whose fatal shooting in Georgia triggered a national outcry were dashed Thursday afternoon. The note found at the memorial of Ahmaud Arbery reading "I should have stopped them" was left by a person "expressing their condolences" and not a new witness in the case of the jogger who was shot after being chased by an ex-cop and his son, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) said in a Twitter post. The community and the family of Arbery, 25, saw the note, which drew national media attention, as a potential sign of new evidence, said James "Major" Woodall, Georgia state president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
